To commemorate Her Majesty’s Diamond Jubilee, the Olympic Park will be renamed as Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. But more than just a name, the park will also be transformed as a new destination, where residents and workers as well as visitors can take advantage of the brand new district of the capital.

With new homes, news schools, cutting-edge and contemporary venues, admirable public parklands plus year-round program events, everyone will surely be delighted to visit the new park. Set to open on July 27, 2013, exactly a year after the successful London 2012 Olympics, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park will come to life in two phases, starting with the North Park and Copper Box.

One of the new major London attractions will be the Copper Box: the first major sporting venue in the English capital, where customers will be able to witness a vast, fantastic array of sports including basketball, wheelchair basketball, handball, netball, and judo to name a few. Health and fitness gyms will also be available as well as exercise studios and a cafe for the locals. When not hosting sporting events, Copper Box will also be used as a place for concerts, comedy shows, or corporate dinners.

North Park, on the other hand, will show the greener parklands, which surrounds the parkways and the commercial business district of the Press and Broadcast Centres. By the time it opens, everyone will be welcomed with the sublime green spaces that will cover most of the Park.

The opening of the South Park and Hub will surely be a major event when it opens on Spring 2014 as it will complete the metamorphosis of the park. It will be the ultimate stopover in London whether you’re visiting the sporting, cultural, or entertainment attractions of the park. Parts of the opening of the South Park are the Aquatics Centre with its astounding wave-shaped central section that’s included in the permanent architectural legacy of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. ArcelorMittal Orbit, UK’s tallest structure and observation tower at the heart of the Olympic Park, will also open on this day.

Before you begin your Stratford Tours, be sure to catch-up the opening of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park this July. It’s a once in a lifetime moment that you shouldn’t dare miss. See you there!

Wouldn’t it be nice to travel back in time and experience the dark, murky past of London even for a day? It would truly be a fun adventure, which is basically why we’d like you to know that there’s this attraction in the English capital that’s exciting, fun, and scary – The London Dungeon. If you’re into gory and macabre stuff with a funny, enjoyable twist, then this is the perfect place for you to visit. Don’t worry, the 90-minute time travel through the 1000 years of the Royal city’s sombre and melancholic past will only leave you with heart-pumping, mind-blowing venture – no big deal! If you’re excited as much as we do, read on and learn more about the scariest attraction in London.

The London Dungeon brings together an amazing cast of theatre actors, and with the perfect combination of special effects, stages, scenes, and rides, the Dungeon recreates and captures the bleak atmosphere of the English capital’s horrible past perfectly. With 18 all new shows and 20 new live actors, two marvellous underground rides plus state of the art storytelling, visitors are guaranteed to have wonderful time.

How it all begins
The London Dungeon Tours begin with the descent, where you will have an incredible exploit of the medieval lift. Here you will meet the friendly lift leper, and if you’re lucky, he’ll work his fake hand joke on you. The descent will prep you up for a stirring boat ride in the Thames River, where you will be welcomed by Henry VIII’s wrath as he accuses you of being a part of Anne Boleyn’s treason. If you’re not familiar with Anne Boleyn, she’s Henry VIII’s second wife, who suffered a terrible fate when she was charged of adultery, incest, and treason.

Grand presentations
One thing that you’ll surely not want to miss in the Dungeon is live showcase of how Catholic Queen Mary (Bloody Mary) was condemned as a heretic, where suffered a public and painful persecution. Visitors who are brave enough can volunteer to be tied and have a full blown experience of how to be burned at a stake like Queen Mary. The Plague was also beautifully captivated as the visitors will also experience the rat infested, filthy streets of 16th century London. A narrated film of what happened during The Great London Fire is presented in the London Dungeon, too!

You’ll also get to meet the notorious barber of Fleet Street, Sweeney Todd. Care for a shave? You’ll also feel the infamous murderer, Jack the Ripper, lurking the dark corners as you continue to embark on your historical and quite scary journey.

London Dungeon tickets are only less than £25, and you’ll get a better deal when you purchase them online or get hold of London Dungeon vouchers like the London Dungeons 2 for 1. By the way, the London Dungeon is no longer on Tooley Street. Don’t worry, though; they’re bigger and bolder beneath the County Hall on South Bank – just between the Big Ben and London Eye.
