Making its London debut, Carnesky's Ghost Train takes you on a ten-minute rocky ride through dark tunnels that come to life with images, sound and magic, featuring illusion, folklore and burlesque theatre where the characters are played by real people.

May sound sugar and spice, but you'd be surprised (the train shakes!) and it has more substance (it examines the concept of people between two places) than your average fairground ride.
