The Murdér Express Part Deux – Jewel of the Empire

As the name suggests, Funicular Production stages immersive theatre dining experiences on board a train.

In a Cluedo-meets-Wilkie Collins' The Moonstone plot, the story follows famed British archeologist Dr. Errol Earhart as he transports a recently discovered and astronomically valuable diamond by train. It’s not long before the diamond is missing, and the evening becomes a race to catch a killer and recover the Jewel of the Empire.

Dopamine Land: A Multisensory Immersive Experience

All five senses at the ready: a new immersive experience opening in South Kensington hopes to entice visitors with the promise of all-encompassing nostalgia. In the Bubble Room, visitors can sip on bubble tea while admiring a bubbly sky. There’s also a popcorn room and, a little more roguely, a pillow fight room. To get to any of them though, you’ll first have to navigate The Ground Is Your Enemy: a room set to make you question which way is up with infinity mirror illusions, light and sound effects. If you’re feeling a little too grown up in this adult life, pay a trip to Dopamine Land and let sweet childhood memories flood in.
