Step back in time at this dead good pop-up that's rising from the depths of Waterloo Station for three days only from May 22 - 24.
Travel below the commuter hub and discover the forgotten tunnels that host this killer of a show. The part-live theatre, part historical tour of the rumoured remains of the notorious Necropolis Railway Station is a must see for any curious thrill seeker.
Tickets to the unique immersive experience are now just £10.50 so, what are you waiting for? Death waits for no one so book yours now!

I'm not going to be in that neck of the woods, but it looks pretty good and pretty touristy. Railway minded Aussies should love it.

Sorta like the Bizzarre Bath tour?

That photo gave me the willies, it was like a scene  from the Aussie
horror film "The Tunnel" which I watched last night...... :o

I like the way they call it 'a killer of a show' :worried:
Mind you, £10.50 for a 20 minute show is scary in itself! :o

There's an excellent novel by Andrew Martin about the Necropolis Railway.
Well worth a read.

Might be an interesting show, but as the NR station was completely demolished when they expanded Waterloo  in the 1900s, I wonder what they are showing?

Sensitive souls will not want to read this grisly Grauniad article detailing burial-related issues in Dickensian London (http://www.theguardian.com/cities/2015/jan/22/death-city-grisly-secrets-victorian-london-dead).

Same weekend as the play-off finals which the mighty Swindon Town may be involved in. Only trouble is we won't know until May 11th and tickets have to be bought by the 8th  :doh:
