I really don't think so. It was part of the tube line. |

No. It's just a crappy, pointless and expensive tourist attraction. |

No!!! The "London Dungeon" is located under old railway arches near to London Bridge Railway Station. Dark & dingy but definitely not a jail! |

No, its always been just a tourist attraction..and a pretty rubbish one at that! Its only been there since the late 1970s, when it first opened.
Before that, the site was just a storage space under the railway arches by London Bridge station. |

I do know that the arches where it is situated were used as an air-raid shelter during the last war. I also have a feeling that it received at least one near miss and fatalities happened there at that time. |

No, I think it was something to do with the tube system or something, they did a Most Haunted from there and they said it was NEVER a jail or anything. |

personally I always thought it was - but serious political criminals would have been taken to the 'the Tower' (the Tower of London) instead, this was a very bleak place to end up and generally meant certain execution, this practice continued right up until 1945. |

In the Tower of London?? Yes it was. Many high class people were kept there including some of Henry the 8th's wives. |

The London Dungeon brings more than 2,000 years of gruesomely authentic history vividly back to life and death. As you delve into the darkest chapters of our grim and bloody past, recreated in all its dreadful detail remembers: everything you experience really happened. Deep in the heart of London, buried beneath the paving stones of historic Southwark, lies the world's most chillingly famous horror attraction. A warning - in the London Dungeon's dark catacombs it always pays to keep your wits about you... some of the 'exhibits' have an unnerving habit of coming back to life. |
