Worth a Goho: The War of the Worlds Immersive Experience
Welcome to Worth a Goho, where we check out London’s coolest experiences and venues to see if they’re worth shouting about. We’re all about giving you the lowdown on the spots we love, and trust us, this one’s a BRILLIANT.
This week, we found ourselves questioning whether we’d survive a Martian invasion (spoiler: barely). We went all-in at Jeff Wayne’s The War of the Worlds: The Immersive Experience, and let’s just say, it’s an absolute blast.
Why It’s Wicked
Forget your usual team-building exercises. This isn’t some workshop or boardroom brainstorm. The moment you step into the experience, you’re transported back to Victorian London, where Martians are invading, and you’re right in the middle of the chaos.
With live actors, VR technology, and 24 interactive scenes, this is a proper adventure. You’re running, problem-solving, and fully immersed for two adrenaline-packed hours.
The Highlights
The actors are phenomenal. They drag you right into the story. Expect to laugh, scream, and maybe even break into a light jog when you’re trying to get away from the martians
The VR Tech
We’ve tried VR before, but this? Next. Level. Imagine gliding down the Thames one minute and dodging Martian the next. The tech is so real that one of us might’ve felt a tiny bit seasick!
The Bar
Halfway through, you hit The Tavern. a stunningly designed bar where you can grab a drink, catch your breath, and prepare for part two. It’s the perfect touch, and let’s be honest, all good adventures should come with themed cocktails.
Why It’s Perfect for Team Building
You’ll be navigating challenges together, and mainly making sure no one gets vaporised by Martians.
It’s perfect for:
Breaking the ice with new team members, giving everyone a laugh and building trust and collaboration in a way that doesn’t feel forced. Plus, when the adventure’s over, you’ll have a bar (again) to debrief and share your survival stories.
Top Tips
Wear comfy shoes. Heels are a no-go when you’re running from aliens.
Arrive early. There’s plenty to soak up before it starts, and you don’t want to rush in at the last minute.
Dive in. The more you commit to the experience and involve yourself, the better it gets - so leave your self-consciousness at the door and have fun with it!
Is It Worth a Goho?
100%. This is the kind of experience that sticks with you. It’s thrilling, interactive, and completely different from anything else in London right now. Whether you’re into sci-fi, theatre, or just love a unique night out, this one delivers big time.
