After the success of shows like Dahmer True Crime has never been more appealing and a serial killer exhibition is coming to London this September as guests get up close and personal with some chilling artefacts
From Jeffrey Dahmer’s glasses to letters written by Ted Bundy this dark exhibition takes you through a whirlwind of immersive rooms and interactive experiences with over 1000 artefacts on display.
Located beneath Waterloo station at The Vaults the exhibition has had a very successful run in Milan before arriving at our shores as part of an ongoing world tour.
Not only are there many artefacts on display but recreations of crime scenes and a lot more for die-hard (no pun intended) fans to sink their teeth in.
The underground labyrinth of The Vaults certainly sets the atmosphere for the chilling event but the exhibition isn’t for the faint of heart.
With seven immersive rooms along with a virtual reality station guests will see letters, personal items and paintings belonging to some of the world’s most infamous serial killers but the exhibition is making it their mission to respect the names and faces of the most important people in these stories, the victims.
So whether you have a fascination with true crime or an interest this is one spine-chilling pop-up that is sure to draw attention.

One item in particular that drew me in is Jeffrey Dahmer’s glasses which are owned by Cult Collectables (a website selling murderabilia) founded Taylor James.
The glasses have a price tag of around $150,000 and he acquired them after a former housekeeper of Jeffrey’s father Lionel contacted him, according to reports.
Taylor has arguably the biggest collection of Dahmer memorabilia in the world.
Dahmer admitted to killing 17 young men and boys between 1978 and 1991. In 1992 he was sentenced to 16 consecutive life terms (900+ years) in prison.
He met his demise only a few years after being locked up when he was beaten to death by a fellow inmate in 1994.
See Jeffrey’s glasses and more in this eerie and quite frankly intriguing serial killer London exhibition which will take you a good 90-120 minutes to navigate.
