When is Curse of the Mummy at The London Dungeon?

From 17 October to 1 November 2026. The show is included in a standard London Dungeon ticket for those dates.

Is the Halloween show an extra charge?

No. The London Dungeon states that Curse of the Mummy is included with admission for the run from 17 October to 1 November 2026.

How much is a ticket?

A standard ticket is from £27 per adult booked online and £35 on the day. Anytime Entry is from £35 online and £43 on the day, Screams and Spirits from £33 online and £41 on the day, and a combined London Dungeon and London Eye ticket from £49.

Where is The London Dungeon?

In the Riverside Building at County Hall on The Queen's Walk, SE1 7PB, in the London Borough of Lambeth, between Westminster Bridge and the London Eye.

The legend is. The show follows the Victorian amateur archaeologist Thomas Douglas Murray, who drew lots with friends for the mummy-board of a High Priestess of Amen-Ra and brought it to London to display, and the run of misfortunes attached to it afterwards — the tale of the Unlucky Mummy.

Curse of the Mummy at The London Dungeon 2026

Name: Curse of the Mummy at The London Dungeon 2026
Start: 2026-10-17
End: 2026-11-01
Location: The London Dungeon

Sixteen days, and the unusual part is that the Halloween show costs nothing extra. From 17 October to 1 November 2026 the London Dungeon adds Curse of the Mummy to its run, and it is included with admission rather than sold as an add-on — which on a site full of separately ticketed Halloween events in other boroughs is worth saying first.

The story it is telling

This one is not invented. At the height of Victorian Egyptomania the amateur archaeologist Thomas Douglas Murray drew lots with his friends for ownership of the mummy-board of a High Priestess of Amen-Ra, brought it back to London to display, and — as the Dungeon puts it — everyone who came into her possession was sure to meet a terrible fate. The show is built on the legend of the Unlucky Mummy, one of London's more persistent museum ghost stories.

What a London Dungeon ticket costs

The standard ticket is from £27 per adult online and £35 on the day — the gap between booking ahead and turning up is the single largest number on the page. An Anytime Entry ticket, which drops the fixed slot, is from £35 online and £43 on the day. Screams and Spirits is from £33 online and £41 on the day, an upgrade the Dungeon prices at £6 over the standard. A combined London Dungeon and London Eye ticket is from £49.

Which borough this is

The Dungeon is in the Riverside Building at County Hall on The Queen's Walk, SE1 7PB — the London Borough of Lambeth, south bank, between Westminster Bridge and the London Eye. Waterloo and Westminster are both a short walk, which is why this is the Halloween event in London that needs no planning around transport at all.

The one warning worth reading

The Dungeon says plainly that it expects to sell out and advises pre-booking to guarantee entry. Since the show is included rather than extra, the constraint is not the money — it is the slot.

Across the river that weekend

On the far side of Waterloo Bridge, 1-54 fills Somerset House with contemporary African art until 18 October, a rather different way to spend the other half of an afternoon on the river. The Lambeth Fringe is on in the borough's small theatres until 25 October.

Two numbers decide this visit. The first is £8: the difference per adult between booking online and paying on the door, which over a family of four is the price of a fifth person. The second is the slot — a standard ticket is timed, and the Dungeon's own advice is that it sells out at Halloween, so the choice is really between booking a weekday slot early or paying from £35 for Anytime Entry and keeping the day loose. The half-term week from 24 October is the busiest of the sixteen days by some distance; the three or four days before it, when the show is already on but the schools are not yet off, are the same show in a quieter building.
