The London Dungeon has launched a Sunak Samba Amnesty, offering two free tickets to those who feel they can no longer wear their trainers after the prime minister’s admission that he is a big fan. The offer comes as the prime minister was pictured sporting a pair during an interview at Downing Street, before stating that he loved the trainers and owned many pairs of Adidas shoes.

A London Dungeon spokesperson said: “The once iconic trainers are on the outs with, well everyone, after Sunak donned a pair this week, officially administering the kiss of death to the much-loved shoe. We see this offer as our very own ‘fulsome apology’ to former Samba wearers.

"Don’t pop them in the bin, bring them to the London Dungeon and we’ll do our best to take your mind off the pain of parting with them as you step away from the horrors of the present and into those of the past!”

The attraction will donate any trainers handed in during the amnesty to a local charity to ensure they reach a good home. The offer will run for one day only, this Saturday 13 April, granting two free tickets per pair of Sambas turned in.

Those who don’t have a pair of Sambas but would like to visit anyway can book tickets online in advance at www.thedungeons.com/london.
