The year of the Rat sees the return of The London Dungeon’s Rat Café

It’s time to join the rat race all the way to The London Dungeon as they mark the year of the rat by bringing back their infamous pop-up; Rat Café for one night only.

Chinese culture suggests that rats are a sign of wealth, so be sure to get yourself down to the Rat Café and immerse yourself amongst the roaming rats for all your Instagram-bragging needs. If you feel you’re like being watched whilst you enjoy your coffee and cake, don’t panic, it’s just our beady eyed friends waiting patiently for a petting.

After its very successful run in 2015, The London Dungeon is inviting guests to sit back and relax in the company of their best behaved and most attractive residents. All proceeds from the Rat Cafe will then be donated to animal charities to safeguard and protect the radiant rodents.

The Rat Café comes stocked full of rat themed products where guests can treat themselves to frothy Ratuccinos, a Frat White or even a deluxe Ratte and a slice of ‘carrat’ cake before getting up close and personal with The London Dungeon’s family of rodents - under the supervision of Rat Keepers, of course.

However, if you’re not keen on handling the furry friends or you think you’ll have a panic-rattack, you can watch from a distance as the eating and the petting areas are entirely separate, with compulsory hand washing and sanitising stations littered in-between. Please note; visitors will be given time-slots for their meet and greet with the rats.
