London Dungeon and Eye

Off to London in a fortnight and hoping to do the Eye and Dungeon. I am thinking of getting a combined ticket but it seems I can only prebook a time slot on whichever attraction I visit first? Can anyone confirm I would be better off doing the Dungeon first as queues for this sound worse than for te Eye from what I have read?

    Last time I was in London we stayed near the Dungeon (it's 'under' London Bridge station, AFAIK) and the queues were absolutely hideous!

    We went to the London Eye and the London Dungeon a year last July in the school holidays, with tickets booked via Tesco Clubcard. We did the eye at about 7pm and queued for about 20 minutes tops, and we did the Dungeon at about 10am and queued for even less time there. I was expecting huge queues at both venues but I think we timed it right on both days.

    The dungeons are now opposite the Eye so you can do both in one day.

    If you buy your travel card from a nataional rail station ask them for a 241 booklet and you can get it for both venues and you don't need to prebook that way

    you can't get the Eye on the 241 offer at the moment - it was in the last set of offers that expired at the end of the April, but it's not included in the current set of attractions on offer, which run over the summer until the end of October.

    Well that shows how much I know, I didn't know that the Dungeon had moved from Tooley Street! Is it still as scary? I nearly wet myself, for no particular reason, I just kept expecting stuff to happen.

    When we went to the London dungeons a few weeks back we queued for over two hours to get in.(not priority ticket). What ever the queue is outside it is similar inside. I'd check them both on tripadvisor.

    I have booked tickets online for last admission time 5 o'clock. I rang to check that you are guaranteed admission if you prebook so fingers crossed I won't have to queue too long. Was a bit peeved to find that I have to queue for my tickets though and that they are not posted out. Lol. Will go straight to the Eye afterwards and pray the queues there won't be too bad
