w/robe Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I'm not sure you'll find a 'real, working' one (H & S gone mad,not letting you attempt to decapitate people) but you could try the London Dungeon to see if they have a prop one you could view.

themadhippy Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Pity you want london as theres a rather nice one in the French style at the Hanoi Hilton.http://themadhippy.com/#0.740 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_s Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Try Rymans. ...oh, not that sort of guillotine? in that case the rival chamber of horrors event (I think it's called the London Tombs or the London Catacomb, something like that) on Tooley St SE1 often used to have a guillotine set up on the street outside their premises in a (forlorn?) attempt to divert customers from the original London Dungeons queue on the other side of the road. At London Bridge station, follow the signs for the Tooley St exit, and they will be pretty much straight opposite on the other side of the road.

DrummerJonny Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 If I was looking, I'd probably start by giving the Tower of London a ring... Tel: 0844 482 7777 (from the UK)Tel: +44 (0)20 3166 6000 (from outside the UK) If I were you, I'd save on the premium call and try the international number :) This is only their General Enquiries number by the way.

DrummerJonny Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 OT, but pretty much straight after I posted I fell asleep, and have just had a really crazy dream about being in the tower of london.... Thanks for the inspiration! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grum Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 You could also try Davenports (Charring Cross) They're a magic dealer and will be able to point you in the direction of a SAFE working version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
