London Dungeon - Escape the Great Fire of London
It's been a while since The London Dungeon has had a big new show, and Escape The Great Fire of London has caused a small reorganisation within the attraction. The unfunny Coughing Coffins show has finally been sidelined, and the Plague Doctor has a new home earlier in the tour. This leaves a reasonable show space for the Great Fire scene, including the street scenes and spinning "sewer" that leads to Mrs Lovetts pie shop. But how would this new version of the show compare to the extended Great Fire of London scene from the old Tooley St London Dungeon?
The new show starts in an office style room in the year 1666, where guests are greeted by the Mayor's assistant. Following a brief explanation of the situation and several assurances that we weren't to panic, in typical Dungeons style - all hell let loose! We were assaulted with sounds, bangs, projections and effects that created the impression that we were trapped inside a genuine burning building.
The whole show built up to a satisfying climax and the use of effects was some of the most impressive in the whole attraction. The big cinematic style reveal of the whole city of London engulfed in flames by the end, was enough to encourage us to make a hasty exit .
The rest of the Dungeon remains as strong as ever and Escape the Great Fire of London has picked up the soggy middle part of the old tour by providing an impressive and thrilling spectacle. It's a welcome addition to the line that should thrill visitors for years to come.
