Time Out says

Part of the hulking Excel London complex in the Docklands (more accurately its newer Excel Waterfront area), ImmerseLDN is a whole entertainment district built inside a single vasty building. Although it’s difficult to really narrow down what it does precisely – it runs the gamut from exhibitions to theatre – most of the work staged there can be classed as ‘immersive’.

What’s on

House of Dreamers

This pastel-pretty immersive experience is a dreamy setting for your next selfie session. Twin sisters Elena & Giulia Sella have already toured their House of Dreams to Milan, Madrid, Rome, and Paris, and now it's stopping off in London. It comprises 16 spaces, each with their own distinct mood; 'Change Perspective' is a fully upside-down apartment, 'Do What You Love' is a heart-shaped tunnel, and 'Enjoy Today' is a pink ball pool. Especially for London, its creators will add a 'DreamBand', a wearable device that will apparently personalise each audience's experience in real time, with interactive moments to make the experience more memorable.

Timewalk

With admirable chutzpah London’s latest immersive exhibition offers not just a focus on a single event, but a journey through the entire history of human civilisation. Well, ‘entire’ is a bit much: rather than focus on heavily documented eras of humanity, Timewalk – a creation of the DEM Museums in Türkiye – is dedication to using immersive tech to plunge you into a succession of semi-mythical ancient civilisations. Starting at Göbeklitepe in Türkiye – widely recognised as the world’s earliest communal gathering site – its various rooms will take you onward to Babylon, Ancient Egypt, the Maya, and Rapa Nui and more, with the idea being to present these vanished societies not as dusty relics but as living, breaking recreations of how they might have been. We’re not quite sure how they’ll do that – it looks like massive projections might be the order of the day – but ‘cinematic storytelling, multi-sensory environments, and cutting-edge technology’ are promised.
