The legendary attraction with a unique talent for uncovering history’s horrible bits lifts the lid on some of the brutal practices of medicine’s blood splattered past, as Tooley Street’s blundering 18th century butcher-surgeon opens the doors to his filthy make-shift operating room. Full of fresh body parts, rusty blood encrusted surgical instruments, puss-ridden bandages, dog eared anatomical diagrams and the discarded or partially dissected corpses of previous patients, this is a dark, dismal and decidedly dangerous place.
As guests gather to witness some of the toe curling therapies commonly used in the days before anaesthetic, antiseptic and patient’s charters, the menacing surgeon selects his next patient and straps them securely in to his “state of the art” treatment chair to showcase his skills. For those who emerge unscathed there’s a whole dungeon full of frightening fun. From the Victorian stomping ground of Jack the Ripper to Sweeney Todd’s hair-raising barber shop, a hanging inspired drop ride and with plenty of twisted humour, blood, gore and more in between, there’s centuries of history’s horrible bits to discover.
