Thinking of taking my daughter up to London tomorrow, initially with a view to do the London Dungeons however, seems there is also the London Experience and London Tombs. Has anyone done any of these and are they actually separate things or just the dungeons renamed?

Went to the London dungeons a couple of yrs ago. It's a good way to fill 90 mins, Though is funny rather than scary.It was nr London bridge station then. I know its moved to near to The London eye now, So it may be better. .

The Clink Museum on the South Bank is interesting and more factual.

London Dungeons is definitely for kids now, it's not how it used to be (a museum) it's rides and labyrinths etc
DO NOT go in the mirrored Labyrinth if you are claustrophobic in any way.

I went to the London dungeons yesterday with my two kids and thoroughly enjoyed the experience, so did they however the two-hour queue was tuff so make sure you go to the loo first if you do go

The Golden Hinde near Borough Market was an excellent and not too expensive 90' or so if you go for the guided tour. We had an excellent and enthusiastic guide who was in full on "Horrible Histories" mode, I never knew the myriad uses to which poo and wee could be put on an Elizabethan warship and the kids loved it.

Museum of London is interesting and free, as is wandering round the South Bank and Covent Garden watching the street entertainers and buskers.
