Whether you’re an immersive experience obsessive or someone that finds the whole idea of interacting with live actors quite unbearable, there’s no denying the chokehold that audience-participatory adult playgrounds have had on London in the past few years.
Now Phantom Peak, London’s Wild West-themed immersive town, has announced it is moving to a new venue that promises to be even better. Following on from the success of its Canada Water outpost, the interactive steampunk-tinged cowboy world will arrive in Stratford, east London, in the summer of 2026.
Not sure of exactly what happens at Phantom Peak? It’s an immersive ‘town’ that blends live performance, interactive storytelling and games within a continuously evolving narrative that changes every few months. Guests follow storylines, solve quests and undergo game-based challenges during their visit.
The new Stratford location promises to be even bigger than the OG, with a multi-level and fully accessible venue featuring three distinct areas, each with its own storyline. It will also have a themed bar open seven days a week plus upgraded technology to improve the interactive gameplay.
Phantom Peak in Canada Water will close on February 28 2026, with the Stratford location expected to open a few months later.
