14 Of The Best VR Experiences In London To Really Explore Your Senses

From exploring the intricate artwork of Dalí to putting yourself within an actual Squid Game (ok – only kidding), here's our rundown of some of the best virtual reality experiences in London.

London ain’t exactly short of things to do – free or otherwise. So, in a city of nine million people – which was also just voted the best city in the world for 2023 we’ll have you know – it stands to reason that we’ve got some pretty epic VR experiences. From running away from zombies to channel Schumacher et al on a virtual racetrack, here’s our rundown of some of the best VR experiences in London:

1. Squid Game at Immersive Gamebox, Southbank

Kicking off this roundup is something which needs no real introduction let’s be honest. If you haven’t heard of Squid Game, then you’ve most likely been living under a rock the past couple of years. The South Korean smash-hit TV behemoth has become one of Netflix’s biggest success stories, smashing viewership records and earning 14 Primetime Emmy Award nominations.

It’s returning for season two sometime soon, but if you can’t wait that long, then make sure you head to the Squid Game AR experience at Southbank’s Immersive Gamebox. But be warned – the stakes are high. After putting on your AR visors, you’ll join as a contender in the actual Squid Game, and will have to survive all six challenges from the show. Using 3D motion tracking visors and touch screens around the room, you’ll have to survive each challenge in order to advance further in the game. Every time you lose, you gamble losing players’ lives. Every time you win, you’ll earn money in the piggy bank. Got what it takes?

📍You’ll find Immersive Gamebox at Arch 3, 83 Scoresby Street, Southwark, London, SE1 0XN.

🚇 Nearest station is Southwark.

2. Dalí : Cybernetics – The Immersive Experience , Brick Lane

Like many exhibitions in London, Dalí : Cybernetics is billed as being an immersive experience that allows you to ‘ step into his paintings ’, though as our resident Staff Writer Tamsin attests , it was so much more than that. The first part of the exhibition is effectively a crash course on Dalí. You can learn about all the things that influenced him – from science to people to technology, and everything in between – all neatly displayed in a clear timeline alongside many of his different individual artworks.

But the real star of the show is undoubtedly the ‘metaverse’. The VR simulation you step into here will take you on a one-of-a-kind visual journey through desert, sea and space, where you’ll be able to encounter various aspects of Dali’s art from the comfort of your very own ship.

You’ll also be able to delve into the inspiration behind one of his most iconic artworks, ‘The Persistence of Memory’ (famous for its melting clocks). You can get your tickets here .

📍You’ll find Dali : Cybernetics  – The Immersive Experience at The Boiler House. 152 Brick Lane, London, E1 6RU.

🚇 Nearest station is Shoreditch High Street. 

3. Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience , Spitalfields

Another fantastic VR experience in London here – this time exploring the artworks of Dutch Post-Impressionist painter Vincent Van Gogh –  one of the most famous and influential figures in Western art history.

As well as a  state-of-the-art 360-degree video projection which brings the famed artist’s works to life, there’s also an incredible VR experience which transports you from Van Gogh’s bedroom in Arles, France, through sunflower fields and down to the starry riverside. You’ll get to delve into eight different artworks of the legendary artist, and will go on a journey that you won’t forget in a hurry! Now in its second year, it’s a fantastic experience that is well worth a visit.

Grab your tickets now here .

📍You’ll find Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience at 106 Commercial Street Spitalfields, London, E1 6LZ.

🚇 Nearest stations are Shoreditch High Street and Aldgate East.

4. Alice VR Escape Room at Meet SpaceVR, Wembley

View this post on Instagram

Next up on this roundup of the best VR experiences in London is one that will really make you fall down the rabbit hole and into the looking glass… Head into ‘Wonderland’ and help the Hatter, who is stuck in time, to sort out the mess at the mad tea party with this bonkers London VR experience.

Follow the beaming Cheshire Cat through the spooky dark forest and find a way to defeat the evil Queen of Hearts before she shrieks “ off with your head ”! Combining VR technology with an actual escape room , this is bound to be one hell of a memorable experience.

📍You’ll find the Alice VR Escape Room at MeetspaceVR, Box Park, Olympic Way, Wembley Park, Wembley, London, HA9 0JT.

🚇 Nearest station is Wembley Park. 

5. Strike Team Delta at Navrtar, Ealing

Crawl into the skin of a brave marine, on a gaming mission to save humanity from an alien invasion, on this incredible VR experience. Based at Navrtar in Ealing, you’ll be immersed in the world of the military as you try and find the weaknesses of the alien enemy before it’s too late and the human race no longer has the ability to fight back!

There are three different locations to the VR experience – a desert, snow-covered mountains and a fictional US city called ‘Morgantown’ – and you’ll be able to shoot weapons throughout. Lock and load and best of luck!

📍You’ll find Navrtar at Dickens Yard, Longfield Avenue, Ealing, London, W5 2UQ.

🚇 Nearest station is Ealing Broadway. 

6. Overrun at Navrtar, Ealing

Navrtar in Ealing has another surprise up its sleeve – this time of the horror variety – so scaredy-cats look away now! It’s 1987 and a local clinic has been found in a remote village, which has been taken over by the ominous Dr. Dracarev. His experiments towards super human evolution have failed miserably and have led to a major zombie outbreak in the village.

The challenge here is to go back in time, get your tactical game on, team up and defeat the hordes of zombies and the sinister Dr. before it’s too late!

🚇 Nearest station is Ealing Broadway.

7. The War of the Worlds: The Immersive Experience, Aldgate

Part immersive theatre, part virtual reality, The War of The Worlds experience has been a thrilling hit since opening in London. Based on Jeff Wayne’s musical interpretation of H.G. Wells’ landmark novel, this epic adventure really imagines the 1898 Martian invasion for the digital age.

The result is a jaw-dropping, multi-sensory ride through the classic tale, making use of actors, holograms, and augmented reality to deliver an unforgettable experience. You’ll be catapulted into the heart of the story, experiencing 24 extraordinary scenes, all the while searching for allies and evading the dreaded Martians, four a heart-pounding afternoon out. Sign. Us. Up.

📍You’ll find The War of the Worlds: The Immersive Experience at 56 Leadenhall Street, London, EC3A 2BJ.

🚇 Nearest stations are Aldgate and Fenchurch Street. 

8. Zero Latency at Meet SpaceVR, Wembley

Another VR London experience at Meet SpaceVR, Zero Latency gives players the chance to get involved in the ‘world’s most advanced warehouse scale, free-roam VR experience’ with up to seven other players. Choose from six different games, with themes running from zombie survival missions to competitive shooting challenges.

For something a little bit different, we’d recommend joining the family-friendly ‘Engineerium’ – a topsy-turvy world where the laws of gravity don’t apply and where you’ll be joined by a whole host of colourful creatures!

📍You’ll find Zero Latency at MeetspaceVR, Box Park, Olympic Way, Wembley Park, Wembley, London, HA9 0JT.

9. Otherworld, Hackney or Victoria

Next up on this VR in London roundup is Otherworld – a ‘virtual island paradise’ which is home to 16 different VR experiences in Hackney, Victoria and Birmingham. A one-of-a-kind digital theme park, this is the place where you can rave on a beach under a virtual sun, visit a quaint country funfair, or watch the seasons change and the leaves start to fall.

Expect hard-to-beat puzzles, shooting and combat games, intriguing stories and exciting movie clips throughout each individual game – they’re all waiting for you in premium, 4D virtual reality.

📍You’ll find Otherworld at 5 Buckingham Palace Road, London, SW1W 0QJ and at 336 Acton Mews, Haggerston, Hackney, London, E8 4EA.

🚇 Nearest stations are Victoria and Haggerston. 

10. DNA VR, Battersea Power Station , Camden and Hammersmith

DNA VR bills themselves as ‘London’s first Virtual Reality arcade’, and their mission is to ‘ to take you and your crew on a journey through incredible worlds in this reality and beyond ’. With three different locations dotted about town, they’re well on their way to stealing the VR experience in London crown, and they’ve got everything from VR escape rooms to multiplayer games.

Scenarios on the gaming roster here include ‘Skyfront VR’ – essentially laser tag on steroids – ‘Prison Break’ (surprises for what this one involves) and ‘Mission Sigma’, which requires you and your mates to disassemble a nuclear warhead. No pressure then. They also cater to birthday parties and stag /hen dos here too.

📍You’ll find DNA VR at various different locations across London. You can find out more here . 

11. Immotion VR, North Greenwich

Another real ripper of a VR experience in London here, Immotion VR offers everything from swimming with humpback whales (no seriously) to ‘Experience Gotham City’, where you’ll be able to see through the eyes of the world’s greatest detective in an all new Arkham mystery.

Based at the mighty O2 Arena in North Greenwich, there’s plenty of scope here for some fun. They’ve even got a virtual rollercoaster! Pre-gig activity perhaps?!

📍You’ll find Immotion VR at The O2, North Greenwich, London, SE10 0DX.

🚇 Nearest station is North Greenwich.

So – the clue’s in the name right? If you’re into racing cars, then this VR experience is really the one for you. Established back in 2021 in Leyton, Supercharged VR is a fully-immersive racing experience whose aim is ‘ to make motorsport accessible for everyone ’.

In order to simulate driving around a track, you’ll don top-of-the-range VR headsets and will be driving on board a full-motion simulator platform. You’ll even get to choose your very own car and racing track too to really get you in the zone – Lewis Hamilton eat your heart out!

Scenarios include zombie apocalypses (that old chestnut) and space adventures,  and thanks to Hollywood motion capture cameras, 3D precision body trackers, custom hardware, and haptic suits, you’ll really feel like you’re in the world in which you’ve chosen. Heck they’ve even got a robotic bartender here – the UK’s first – called Toni. Who would’ve thought hey?!

📍You’ll find Sandbox VR at The Post Building, High Holborn, London, WC1A 1PB.

🚇 Nearest stations are Holborn and Tottenham Court Road.

14. iFLY London, North Greenwich

Rounding off this list of the best VR experiences in London is one that technically isn’t open yet, but it sounds so good that we couldn’t not include it. iFLY London – opening in February 2023 at the O2 Arena in Greenwich – not only promises indoor skydiving using state-of-the-art equipment, but it also allows you the chance to get involved with the iFLY 360 Virtual Reality package.

What is that you ask dear reader? Well, it combines the fun of indoor skydiving with the thrill of a simulated ‘real’ skydive out of a plane using a VR headset. You’ll actually feel like you’re leaping out of a real life plane, and you can choose from four different locations – Dubai, Hawaii, So Cal in California and the majestic Swiss Alps. Far out!

📍You’ll find iFLY London at The O2, Peninsula Square, London, SE10 0DX.

🚇 Nearest station is North Greenwich.

So there you have it – a roundup of the best VR experiences in London Town at this point in time. With everything from escaping zombie apocalypses to swimming with mighty humpback whales, there’s something for everyone here, so whatever crowd you’re with – get involved!

• Jackie F. Feb 2024 Excellent experience if a little scary. Thoroughly enjoyed it
• Alice R. Feb 2024 The VR experience itself was amazing and I really enjoyed it. I would have given it 5 stars, but there was a 30-40 min wait to enter the experience which took the edge off a little bit.
• Veronika J. Feb 2024 The best VR experience I’ve had in London so far :)
• Az O. Feb 2024 It was absolutely amazing and exciting VR experience I ever had! The beautiful sceneries and material details were superb! Great to see the history and life of ancient Egyptian so closely. I will take my parents next time!
• Dan F. Feb 2024 Brilliant fun! The Girlfriend and I loved it!
• Nigel H. Feb 2024 Very good indeed. Great tech, and on the whole really immersive, though shouting children keeping walking into me several times broke the illusion.
• Yajaira T. Feb 2024 Amazing , going back with whole family 😊
• Tate K. Feb 2024 I enjoyed the visual elements and the free roam however, I would be more emersed if the physical environment imitated the video sections. Since reality was kinda limiting the video. So for example when the platform rose I wish the floor rose as well. Or when were in the tunnel we have to crawl to the next section to continue.
• Margarita S. Feb 2024 An absolute fabulous event. Adds so much more to my previous 2 (real) Nile cruises and I’m going again next Spring. I’ll certainly have a different aspect on the pyramids next time. Utterly brilliant, Well done!
• Laura E. Feb 2024 Great fun - highly recommend this.

Other familiar games include Angry Birds and Shaun The Sheep – hilarious for all ages, but great if you have little ones. The best part about this London VR experience is your drinks are delivered to you during your game.

Best VR experiences in London for 2024 from indoor skydiving to The War of the Worlds

We all need an escape from reality sometimes, and luckily for us, virtual reality transports us to a whole new universe. With these top VR experiences, you and your friends can submerge yourself in out-of-this-world activities, so fasten your seatbelts!

If there’s a fun activity to do in London, you can guarantee the RadioTimes.com team will know about it. Whether it’s the best London walking tours or the London experience gifts , if you’re looking for something out of the ordinary to do in the capital city, you’ve come to the right place. And next on the agenda is VR experiences.

What is a VR experience? VR stands for ‘virtual reality’, and it’s a simulated experience that can either mimic or be completely different to real-world environments. VR experiences usually use headsets or multi-projected environments to create sensations that a user would experience in the real world.

A person taking part in a VR experience is able to look around the pretend world, move around in it, and interact with virtual items — sounds brilliant but kind of freaky, right?

You might have seen VR play out in movies like Ready Player One , where ordinary people can escape their decaying world and enter a stable, happier one. Or, you might’ve already tried your hand at VR in gaming. VR headsets, like the Meta Quest 2 and Apple Vision Pro , get you right in the thick of the action from the comfort of your gaming chair, and there are plenty of the best VR games to immerse yourself in: The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners, Resident Evil 4 VR, Doctor Who: The Edge of Time, and even a Squid Game VR game .

While we’re not going full Ready Player One (humanity isn’t that bad…), there are a lot of exciting experiences to try in London to submerge yourself in the action. In recent times VR event spaces and activities have been popping up all over the capital, so let’s take a look at the best ones.

Situated in Wembley, Meetspace VR is a giant warehouse space where you and your friends can live out the ultimate VR experience. Teams of up to eight players are pitched against flesh-eating zombies, out-of-control robots and even each other in a variety of games. We were particularly interested in the Alice in Wonderland VR game, which includes characters from the iconic book.

In the Alice and Wonderland adventure, you'll have one hour to save Wonderland from the Queen of Hearts and you'll meet the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat and the Caterpillar along the way.

Apocalypse VR Experience

With the likes of The Last of Us and Dawn of the Dead firmly ingrained in our minds, we like to think we could survive an apocalypse. However, to test whether we're actually as savvy as we think (or if it's just wishful thinking), the Apocalypse VR experience at Navrtar is a great place to start.

This particular VR experience, for four people, will see you fight back against hoards of zombies in a huge 2,000 square-foot arena. The Ealing-based space also has a bar area, so you can brag about your survival skills over food and drink afterwards.

Depending on how fearless you feel on the day, you can select one of four modes: Discovery, Soldier, Nightmare and Hell, which all have different difficulties.

Six places to experience virtual reality in London

Immerse yourself in mind-bending mysteries, spooky escape rooms and multiplayer games at these VR spots across the capital

In the last few years, London has really embraced the eye-popping possibilities of virtual reality entertainment. Here are six hotspots which will welcome you, briefly, into a whole new world. 

Find out more about what's next for London with our Future Cities series .

An email you’ll actually love

London’s first VR arcade is a gamers' haven which offers popular single-player and multiplayer titles as well as team VR experiences for up to 10 people. You can step into Michael B. Jordan's shoes in 'Creed: Rise to Glory', try to survive an apocalypse in 'Brookhaven Experiment', or hone your 3D painting skills with 'Tilt Brush'. DNA also has three VR escape rooms which you and your mates can spend 60 minutes trying to bust out of. Basically, there's a lot to try here, so leave at least a couple of hours for your visit.

Units 1&2, 400 – 404 York Way, N7 9LW. Caledonian Road tube.

If you're a wannabe escapologist, head to one of Omescape's two London locations. Their King’s Cross hub has three suitably spooky VR escape rooms for you and up to five mates to try: a penitentiary, a 'joker's asylum' (yikes) and a 'biohazard laboratory'. And over in Aldgate, they have a 'Kingdom of Cats' escape room which drops you into a dark fantasy land ruled by supersized felines where 'the punishment for humans is death by a thousand scratches'. Frankly, it sounds purr-etty frightening.

All Saints Church, Carnegie St, N1 9QW. Kings Cross tube.

75 Greenfield Rd, Whitechapel, E1 1EJ. Aldgate East tube.

Space Descent VR with Tim Peake at the Science Museum

British astronaut Tim Peake spent six months aboard the International Space Station in 2015-6, and this cosmic VR experience recreates his return trip to Earth. Narrated by Peake himself, it puts you in the pilot's seat of a Soyuz capsule just like the one that brought him home. You'll get a 360° look inside the capsule as it retraces his 400km trek – but don't worry: no one will ask you to run a marathon from space, as Peake did in 2016.

Exhibition Rd, London SW7 2DD. South Kensington tube.

Virtual Reality at Hollywood Bowl

The VR Zone Portal inside Hollywood Bowl at The O2 is the first place in Europe where you can experience Mario Kart VR. As its name suggests, it's an immersive version of the iconic racing game which allows four players to compete against each other. Thanks to hand-tracking technology, you can chuck banana skins and turtle shells at your opponents as you whizz round the bright and bumpy VR track. Once you're all raced out, you can also try the 'Hospital Escape Terror' VR experience, which challenges you to break out of a creepy haunted hospital.

Peninsula Square, London SE10 0DX. North Greenwich tube.

Limitless-VR

Croydon's VR lounge-bar has a terrific selection of single and multi-player games ranging from 'Arizona Sunshine', which drops you into a zombie apocalypse, to 'BeatSaber', where your slashing movements create unique musical rhythms. Kids will enjoy the robot-populated 'Job Simulator', and there's even a game that challenges you to walk a plank 160m above ground. To be honest, you might want to steady your nerves with a drink from the bar first.

79 High Street, Croydon CR0 1QE. East Croydon rail.

Inter-pub gaming in Battersea and Acton

Much-loved Acton pub The Aeronaut now has a two-player VR room where games include 'Escape the Lost Pyramid’ set in the 'Assassin's Creed' universe. Over in Battersea, the same company runs a two-player VR room at the award-winning Four Thieves. If trying to fly and shoot at the same time while playing 'Skyfront' sounds like thirsty work, simply take advantage of the beer and VR for a tenner deal.

The Aeronaut, 264 Acton High Street, W3 9BH. Acton Town tube.

The Four Thieves, 51 Lavender Gardens, SW11 1DJ. Clapham Junction rail.

Otherworld VR London

You've seen those futuristic pods on Instagram, but now it's time to step inside them with Otherworld in Hackney and  Victoria . These 14 individual, 4D immersion rooms come complete with light, sound and movements that adapt for your chosen multiplayer game. Explore The Island's multiverse, choosing between themed games from international studios, including playing with penguins, shooters, puzzles and cook-offs. Plus, racking up those scores means you have DreamCoin to spend on real-life drinks and snacks in the departure lounge afterwards.

Sandbox VR London

For some of the most cutting-edge free-roam virtual reality, head to Sandbox VR in Holborn. This place is inspired by Star Trek's Holodeck, featuring Hollywood motion capture cameras, 3D precision body trackers and haptic suits, so you can use your whole body to explore eight unique worlds built by EA, Sony, and Ubisoft veterans. Fight aliens and zombies, or even take part in Squid Game across an exclusive experience in partnership with Netflix. Afterwards, you'll be watching your group highlights and sipping on tasty cocktails made by a robotic bartender (yes, really).

Hyper Reality

Some of the best virtual reality London has on the cards? You'll find it at Hyper Reality, the steampunk-inspired space on Mile End Road with a VR arena, rollercoaster and go-karting for endless fun across an 'all-access' package. Many of what's on offer here can't be found anywhere else in Europe, from playing as Vikings to enjoying four different adventures versus zombies.

When you need the best zombie VR experience London has to offer, Ealing's Navrtar has to be pretty high up on the list for its unique free-roam story. Not only is their super popular apocalypse survival game, Overrun, getting a second instalment - meaning you'll once again go head-to-head with the hordes of undead created by the nefarious Dr. Dracarev - but there's also zombie shooting adventure Contagion to get stuck into. We also recommend Strike Team Delta to do battle against invading extra-terrestrials.

DNA VR London

DNA VR is the city's leading virtual reality arcade, where you'll be plunged into an alternate world across immersive experiences at locations in Camden , Battersea and Hammersmith . This next-dimension gaming happens in escape rooms, private pods or in the free-roam space with wireless immersion, allowing for groups of up to 10. Plus, each person gets their own headset to choose between a 30-strong library of games - think fighting dragons, swimming with whales and surviving the apocalypse. 

Situated in Bromley, VR N3XT is the place to go for non-stop entertainment. Get ready for epic battles in uncharted worlds in the arcade, which includes escape rooms, fights against mythical creatures and even puzzles. These games are suitable for players aged seven and up, so you get 45 minutes of virtual reality playtime alongside the whole family.

• Bromley and Beckenham

Meet Space VR Wembley

What if an Alice in Wonderland-inspired VR escape room in London sounds right up your alley? Then Meet Space VR at Boxpark in Wembley has you covered for meeting the Mad Hatter, having a tea party and making sure the Red Queen doesn't have your head. But that's not all on the epic lineup from big gaming names here. There are Zero Latency free roam experiences to take on Vass and his pals from Far Cry 3 and further virtual reality escape rooms from Ubisoft, including those set in the world of Assassin's Creed - to name just a few.
