I want to explore the dark side of London but how?

I want to go on a trip to London. I come from germany and i've never been there before. And now i need some information, where to explore the dark side of London. Are there any special museums only about this?

Thanks:D
I thought about some kind of torture or something...

The Click Museum
The Clink Prison Museum is built upon the original site of the Clink Prison. The Prison dates back to 1144 making it one of England’s oldest, if not the oldest Prison. Visitors will experience a hands on educational experience allowing them to handle original artefacts, including torture devices, as well as the opportunity to view and hear the amazing stories of the inmates and the notorious Southbank

London Dungeon is not a museum but a tourist spot-expensive but many seem to like it

Of course there is always the Tower of London where many people were imprisoned and executed n the past

Here is one click this link
 
If you want torture, the tower of london, london dungeons, london bridge experience, clink prison museum and madame Tussuad's torture chambers are the best place for you as they all contain unsettling information about what happened in the past e.g Henry VIII chopping everyone's heads of at the tower of london.

Some castles and palaces are also quite spookky and interesting. For example Hampton court palace on the outskirts (short ride from waterloo station).
