Immersive & Touring Exhibitions in London
These aren't your standard museum trips, they're shows and worlds you walk through. Near King's Cross, Lightroom wraps you in projections on 11-metre walls for £10 and up, made for wandering rather than sitting still. A few minutes apart in the centre, Shrek's Adventure London (from £16, ages 6-15) sends you through nine live shows and a 4D bus ride, while The Paddington Bear Experience (from £24, ages 0-15) has kids helping Mrs Bird in her kitchen and dancing to a Calypso band. For toddlers, Paddington's gentler pace suits better than Shrek's. If you don't mind a longer trip out to Watford, Warner Bros. Studio Tour London (from £47, ages 5+) is the one to save a full day for, with the Great Hall and a go on the broomstick green screen. Everything above is booking required, so sort tickets ahead. Fancy a night without the kids? Avora London's cocktail mission is 18+ only, from £44.50, and books up as a proper evening out.
