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. 

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).

Navrtar

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. 

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.
