Eerie Encounter with Plague Masks

Three men in beaked masks, resembling plague doctors, sit eerily in the London underground. Their black attire sharply contrasts with a chuckling construction worker in an orange outfit seated between them. These men, part of the London Dungeon’s promotion, invaded the tube in February 2014.

Plague doctors, hailing from Europe during the Black Death, wore these masks filled with aromatic substances to protect against disease. Their haunting presence points to a grim history. The scene on the train mixes humor and history, turning an uneventful commute into a fascinating spectacle. It’s a perfect fusion of the past meeting the present in an unexpected setting.
