Sixty Years Young, 10 Years Old...

This year, 2014, marks two major mile stones in the history of
London Dungeon Hire

1) The Dungeon Keeper reaches the grand old age of 60 (and he is applying for his travel pass!) 

2) LDH has been running full time for BDSM couples to hire for their private power play for ten years.

The Chamber of Dreams at London Dungeon Hire

Where did the years go? Too quickly perhaps but all were eventful and satisfying for sure. Ten years of constant upgrades, additions and improvements to the services here. All these developments, based on feedback from users, now means LDH has everything you can desire, imagine and more! But that does not stop us adding to The Collection and Equipment and developing The Facilities when ever we can.

LDH was the first dungeon space in London specifically designed for BDSM couples for hourly play and over the last decade it has inspired many other facilities to offer similar services. Some of the those have lasted longer than others. As demonstrated over the last 10 years, LDH will remain and endeavour to be The Best BDSM facility for hire in the UK; A multi-spaced, richly resourced, luxuriously perverse, abundant in atmospheric kinkiness and always striving to improve.

The Reception Chamber at London Dungeon Hire

All adults are welcome at LDH... young, young at heart, veterans, beginners, all power play and gender combinations. We are truly an equal opportunity provider even if our customers do not practice equal opportunities in their power play activities.

Although there are many amazing dungeon stories the DK can tell... some hilarious, some sad and most truly incredible all hirers can rest assured that their anonymity will always be respected and their hires at London Dungeon Hire will always be completely private. The DK has more than a ten year reputation to protect. His experience and understanding arising from a life long enthusiastic interest in BDSM and his ten years of work at LDH will ensure your visit will be truly amazing. The Dungeon Collection and Facilities are without equal, and the understanding acquired of customer needs means all will be thoroughly impressed by their time here.

The Throne Room at London Dungeon Hire

LDH has collected more than 130 Reviews from hirers. All customer feedback regarding value for money over the decade has always assessed LDH as either excellent or good value for money tempting the DK to increase the hire charges but they have remained largely unchanged and are outlined here.

LDH offers playtime hire for solo, couples or groups up to a maximum of 6 people.

Photographic and Filming sessions are also welcome, either as part of play or for artistic or commercial purposes.

We also offer an Extended Tour to those who wish to learn more about a piece of specific equipment, aspect of play or the Dungeon and its facilities in general.

If you have not yet made an outing to LDH you might want to make sure you do before the Dungeon Keeper is "pensioned off". Those who have not been here for awhile will be quite pleasantly surprised by the upgrades that have occurred since there last adventure at LDH.

The Hall Way at London Dungeon Hire

Some have  described the facilities as a Museum of Erotica as there is such an extensive collection of fetish paraphernalia accessible in wall displays, shelves, cupboards and boxes. Many hours can be spent exploring the contents of this treasure trove. This is a "Bizarre Museum" where the visitors can touch as well as use all the exhibits and they are all fully operational and in pristine condition. There is also a considerable library of books and magazines on BDSM available for study on request during a hire.

The DK's view is that LDH is more akin to a Theatre than a Museum. It is fully equipped with all the "props" scenery and resources to explore your personal power play. Sometimes the props do not have to be used to create the effect required but if so desired they can be utilised to increase the drama.

However the best aspect of LDH is its atmosphere. The use of all equipment is incidental to satisfaction during a hire here. The most important items in the dungeon are the players, if they enjoy power play with each other they will love being in London Dungeon Hire and satisfaction is guaranteed in all circumstances.

The dungeon is also a perfect place to introduce a partner to the world of BDSM. It is a place that will inspire and encourage those who are completely new to this scene to explore it further. The dungeon is comfortable, warm, inviting, clean and fragrant. It literally is a magical place that any adult will find enchanting, sensual and exciting.

All those that visit us always return sooner or later and many visit repeatedly. Its always a particular delight to see a relationship developing and flourishing over time.

If you are interested in arranging a hire you can see how to do it (and what it will cost) here.

The Discipline of The Dungeon

There are many aspects to my work as the Dungeon Keeper at London Dungeon Hire. One of the most satisfying is being responsible for the upkeep and deployment of The Collection

Spanking tools in the Chamber of Dreams at London Dungeon Hire.
A Massive range of CP equipment is in all included in the Hire at LDH.

The Collection is the dungeons massive array of BDSM furniture, bondage apparatus, punishment equipment, kinky toys and eccentric paraphernalia presented in all the rooms and spaces here. This task is immensely time consuming and repetitive but it gives me a great deal of satisfaction to do it as well as I can.

There is a demanding discipline to the art of Dungeon Keeping that I find very satisfying. To my way of thinking all the equipment in a dungeon should always be primed and ready for action. Rather like the weapons in the barracks of an elite regiment of soldiers, kit should be immaculately maintained, cleaned and squared away in the most effective manner conceivable.

The items should be able to cast their spell even without being used… displayed in a attractive manner to their best advantage… the threat of their use is enough, just by itself, to stimulate the correct attitudes in those that behold them.

A place for everything and everything in its place is the creed that is applied to all that reside at London Dungeon Hire.

A fantastic range of hoods in steel, rubber, leather and wood.

Where else should one expect a regime of such simple but extreme correctness? If a dungeon can not be disciplined in its execution and organisation then there is little hope for any order in our world.

The Sin Bin at London Dungeon Hire

A dungeon for hire should strive to be a beacon of excellence in the BDSM world. Efficient organisation allows the illumination of fantasy and safe, secure exploration of bondage, punishment and worship in an environment that promotes the power transfer in exactly the way players would wish it.

Leather should be soft and well conditioned, rubber well cared for, implements shiny clean and all environs reflecting the care and attention to details that only true obsession can attain. Every aspect of the senses should be able to perceive this excellence. The eyes should observe order and pleasing artistic structure, the ears receive sounds that provoke imagination, the nose detect aromas of delight and reassuring sensuality and the skin the warmth and texture of all the fabrics and materials.

Absolutely escape proof.

I am also a great believer of the 6th sense… it is only in a truly spiritually and physically cleansed environment that higher divine perception can occur. Although not all seek this connection in their play a good dungeon should evoke and enhance connections at every level in physical, emotional and spiritual contexts.

The Reception Room

I also believe a Dungeon should be a comfortable space, warm, well ventilated with places to relax and enjoy feelings in a reflective mode. Whilst every whimsy and fetish is accommodated it’s also vital to provide the basics such as facilities for cleaning, toileting and refreshment and all these should be organised equally perfectly.

The Bondage Cross

London Dungeon Hire is an interactive installation… it will evoke different responses from different personalities, But all should feel safe, secure, comfortable, nurtured as well as stimulated within its disciplined structure.

The worst hire in 8 years today!!! And all because they could not find their phone.

All had gone smoothly and I was anxiously waiting for them to finish as I had another hire starting after theirs (with a customary 1 hour minimum gap for time for me to get things perfect).

Ten minutes past so I switch the music off and play the "your time is up" announcement and after that I tentatively go out through the VIP womb into the Dungeon Area and I am confronted by total mayhem!! OH MY GOD... this is going to be a very difficult one to get sorted in time for the next hirers!

“Excuse me, but I have another hire starting in an hour after yours, at 7 pm it’s 15 minutes past 6 now so I am sorry but I must rush you, your hire finished at 6”.

One of them is more or less naked... and seemingly oblivious to any notion that their time is up... they are now both burning my time and potentially effecting the future enjoyment of others.

Button your lip DK... head down and get scrubbing and cleaning.

Much energetic clearing, cleaning, cleansing and tidying... after so many years I am an absolute "Dungeon Master" in this regard, although this is a particular challenge and I shall only be able to rise to it if they get out of my bloody way.

Used condom on carpet... YUK! Time to embarrass them... they deserve it. "There is one of your used condoms on the carpet, can you put it in the bin provided please". 

Actually people like this can’t be embarrassed, they can only be enraged. They are only possessed by thoughts for themselves and have little, if any, consideration for others. 

I later found the condom floating in the toilet.

Better get the disinfectant and scrubbing brush out for that carpet... oh my god they have used the fucking machine, dildo still on it (wonder if they bothered to use a condom with that?).

This is getting more challenging by the minute, perhaps they will help once they are dressed? Yeah and pigs might fly.

"I have lost my phone," it is icily announced as I rush by with a mop in my hand. “It was on the table in the reception room and it’s not there now”. 

Perhaps I stupidly cleared it up with the Nova Pro, CD Player, Microphone, hypno-cds, metronome, hypno-pendant, Light glasses, headphones and assorted tangled leads that were all left scattered all over the table? Reluctantly I open the newly organised hypno box and examine all the contents. No phone in there… I was not surprised. I get the interrogation torch and look carefully all around the table in the dark recesses of the cell beneath.

No phone. I have broken out into quite a sweat now and feel a bit panicky about getting dungeon ready for the next hire.

Only 30 minutes left.

“Well it was on that table before you started tidying it up” comes an accusing voice.

I snap, and those that know me well are aware, that when it happens, it can be quite dramatic.

“Are you accusing me of stealing your phone? I have another hire starting in 30 minutes, your hire finished 30 minutes ago. Perhaps if you had finished on time you would be in better order and you would know where your phone is.”

“I know my phone was on the table in The Reception Room”.

“Well it’s not there now is it? I have to get things ready for the next hire.”.

Perhaps that was the wrong thing to say because they leave, stand outside by the gate and refuse to look any more for it.

“You won’t find it out there!”

I carry on with the mammoth task of clearing up the disgusting detritus of their demented power play and suddenly realise they have not paid the balance remaining on their hire!

Yes you have guessed it…they refuse to pay the balance and remain outside threatening to call the police instead.

My only concern is to get things sorted for the next hire. I am so very stubborn and there is no way in the world that these people are going to effect the pleasure of my next hirers! Divisions of Vice Squad be dammed…

The remaining 15 minutes pass quickly, and at last I am finally setting the incense sticks. Will I have time for a well earned coffee? No way, the bell is ringing, it’s 7 pm and the first hirers are no where to be seen.

Good Riddance!

I try to regain my composure and give the introductory tour to the new arrivals and when we enter the Chamber of Dreams there on the bed is a black IPhone with a dark green border perfectly camouflaged in the black shiny PVC covers!

Huh!! I am so very pleased with myself… I was beginning to feel guilty about that bloody phone!

OK Hirers… moral of the story?

Keep Calm and Carry On.

The phone is locked and pass word protected, I email them but maybe they only can access emails on that I phone! I Google “what can I do with a lost I Phone? Try it… some interesting information out there. I discover I Phones have voice control and this works with data retrieval even when it’s locked. With this technique I find the number of the partner of the hire (using his name) and call them using my phone and explain where I found the phone.

Do they apologise? Do they say thank you.? No to both…  I arrange a time for them to come and collect the phone and tell them I expect an apology.

Will I get one? Will I get my Balance?

I know a lot of people reading this will think I am soft in the head. They are probably right. In truth what I would love to do is ram the I Phone down their barstard throats and then kick them both over the balcony

Alas I would end up spending the last few years of my life in prison if I did that… I think it best I don’t do that.

I got the balance and they got their phone, I did get an apology but only after an insult saying I was acting a “bit demented”.

Lucky I didn't kick ‘em over the balcony then init?

A most exotic, beautiful and charming Japanese Mistress recently hired the facilities here at LDH for an extended tour.  As I was chatting with her, in a haze of submissive admiration of her stunning appearance, I asked if a domination scene was sometimes frustrating for her when not conducted in her Mother Tongue.  She smiled sweetly, and replied that she often conducted a scene with a slave entirely in Japanese. “Oh “I stuttered stupidly,”they know Japanese”.”Oh no,” she smiled again, “usually not one word, but it does not matter… well it makes it more exciting actually, that they do not understand a word I say… but they still have to obey me".

This idea haunted my thoughts for many hours after the meeting with the Japanese Dominatrix. It’s an erotic scene that had not occurred to me before, and I could see it might be very exciting. Ideas formulated in my head like visions.

Like a dog that has no idea what words actually mean the submissive could still be trained to the level the Mistress wanted. It eliminates any possibility of negotiation at language level at the very least. Communication at an “instinctive” more primal level would need to be developed by the submissive in the time available… or as part of an ongoing training process perhaps. What a wonderful way to learn Japanese!

The Mistress will understand the submissive's words but may be pretend not to understand them. The Mistress's verbal expressions will be meaningless to the submissive other than her cadence, the authority of her voice at its most basic level. Particular words and phrases would need to be learnt quickly. Words like “Kneel” or “Crawl” and phrases like “Come Here” or “Bend Over”.

My mind began to race, working through all the depraved possibilities of this scenario and then suddenly an icy cold thought hit me like a sledge hammer shattering my revelry...

My father had been a Japanese POW. Captured at the fall of Singapore he had the most appalling of wars and was one of relatively few to survive to give witness to the horror that had occurred. Not that he gave witness as he refused to talk about his experiences. His years of forced labour constructing the “Death Railway” across Burma had scarred him most deeply. If he knew a word of Japanese I never heard him speak it. He had struggled for his life fighting Malaria, berri berri, dysentery and every other tropical disease and parasite that infests the tropics with little or no food and minimal medical facilities.

How had he communicated with his camp guards? Apparently they were mostly Korean, only the officers were Japanese and any communication with them would probably result in punishment or even death.

He didn’t live long enough to see the Tsunami that swamped much of Japan but I know that he would unashamedly been delighted about it.

Is there some kind of trans-generational karmic thing going on here? Is this why I am the way I am? Can it be a root cause of the reason why I run a dungeon for hire as well as the seed of many other facets to my bizarre personality? This realisation has dampened the pleasure of the idea planted by the Japanese Mistress, more the pity as it was most enjoyable and attractive at the time.

Maybe a Russian Mistress Scene would be more PC.

Before you think I am just joking consider the fact that I have heard from more than one Professional Mistress that they have Jewish customers that ask them to role play concentration death camp scenes. The Mistress playes the Role of the SS guard, the Jew the vicitim doomed to extermination.

Is this inter-generational catharsis, unpleasant coincidence or just another example of our bewildering Psychology?

Much more thinking required…

In the mean time London Dungeon Hire is available for all your Role Playing requirments.

When I graduated in the 70's if someone had told me that I would one day be running my own state of the art BDSM dungeon and be living 24/7 totally immersed in a fetish lifestyle I would have said what’s that?

In those days I had aspirations of organising a commune... what a contradiction!

Not that I was not interested in kinky stuff in those days. I was probably more interested in it in those days than I am now; I am very interested in it now. There was just very limited opportunities to express those types of feelings in Britain back then. How different is the world I live in now!

Well I used to go to Pro Dommes of course. Finding a professional dominatrix in the 70's was such an adventure.... Partly for my enthusiasm for the quest but mainly because of the scarcity of them.

In those days I was an avid collector of domination magazines, for a ridiculous price you could get American magazines like "Bizarre Life" which defined my Utopian existence.

How things have changed! If I had foreseen my future I would have realised I was destined to live in Utopia....
