The London Bridge experience invites you to face your fears as you step into the chilly tunnels under London Bridge from 17th October to 1st November. As part of Phobophobia you will be exploring your fear of fear itself, as you walk through the haunted tunnels, filled with spiders, snakes, bloody walls and dank air.
