Is the area around the Dungeon safe?

The Dungeon Keeper gets on his soap box...

The dungeon is the Dungeon Keepers home and is situated in Bethnal Green a hamlet of the Inner London Borough of Tower Hamlets. The location is within the sound of Bow bells (the bells of Bow church) which means if any one was born in the dungeon they would be a qualified (kinky) cockney. This is the real The East End, not a ridiculous parody on the television. It is a vibrant community actively participating in the 21st Century making a unique and special contribution to the social, cultural and economic life of one of the most fantastic principal cities in the world; LONDON. If you are the sort of person that despises people because they have little wealth, if you think working class people are dangerous, if you are scared of people from a different ethnic group or disrespectful of those from a different culture than your own, then you best not come into the East End. You wouldn't be welcome here anyway, not with those attitudes. The East End would be a dangerous place for a person like that.

However if you enjoy inner city life, and feel comfortable exploring the incredible rich historical legacy of Britain's capital city than you will find the East End one of the most fascinating and welcoming places in Europe. I have lived in the Dungeon since 1980; out of choice rather than necessity. I enjoy living here. I enjoy being part of a multi ethnic community, where people live, work and play, raise their families and go about their business with respect for each other. Most importantly (in my opinion) the locals "mind their own business" a very old traditional east end characteristic that still survives to this day.

So is it safe? Cor blimy guvnor, of course it is!

The area has lots of fascinating places to explore which you could combine with your visit to the dungeon and our FAQ on making a day of it outlines some of these possibilities. We are are also only a short journey away from London's Theatre Land: the West End.

Also London has very many fetish clubs to choose from and the dungeon is ideally situated to prepare a visit to a club or as a venue for an after party!! We particularly recommend the fetish clubs listed in our Listings Section.

We also mark on our booking grids some of the the clubs and fetish events we are planning to attend as "dungeon outings", in our local area (in blue) so look out for us at those events.
