I took the train down to London yesterday to spend the day with my daughter and her fiance.
We all had a fantastic day, having a good old nose around the Sea Aquarium and an impromptu, but exhilarating visit to The London Dungeons. Unfortunately, no photos or videos are allowed in the latter, but here are some pics and vids of some of my favourite bids from the London Sea Aquarium:

The London Dungeons was a thoroughly enjoying experience. It was more of an immersive drama than a display and were full of jump-scares, disgusting fluids squirting towards and onto you, or in the case of the old woman emptying her pee pot from her bedroom window, thrown at you. The numerous, suitably garbed, actors all deserve the highest praise, as does the set maker. The tour through London's dark history places you in the world of Guy Fawkes' horrific tortures, the Bubonic Plague, persecuted witches (probably my particular highlight), Jack the Ripper. We then made our way through the best mirror maze I have ever seen, to your death sentence at the end of a rope. A note of warning on this final event, it is physically as well as scary and certainly not suitable for people who do not like hair-raising fun fair rides as you literally experience the plunge to death of the condemned.
Afterwards, as I forced my stomach back from my mouth, we were led into an olde worldly pub where visitors can partake of refreshments before heading back into the sunshine with the feeling of being born again.
From there, I took some tourist shots as we made our way through the London crows by Buckingham Palace before saying our teary farewells.
Then it was back on the train to Swansea for yours truly.
