The tour of the London Dungeon is an English language tour. The London Dungeon is not a scare attraction, but an interactive theatrical experience.
Some cultural references are not directly translatable, so for consistency and with many international guests, English language caters for the vast majority of our visitors.
Many of our non-English speaking guests still enjoy the sights, sounds (and smells) of London’s gruesome history, however may not experience the attraction in the same way as those proficient in the English language. If someone in your party wishes to translate, they are of course welcome to, however please be mindful of other guests.
