Stranger Things Experience London: it has closed
Stranger Things: The Experience has finished its London run. What it was, where it was, why you can still find tickets advertised, and what to do instead.
Stranger Things: The Experience has finished in London. The official site says so in its first line, and there is no London run to book.
We are saying that plainly because a great many people are still searching for it, plenty of third party pages still read as though it is open, and resale and listing sites keep surfacing for the term long after an experience has ended. If you have been sent to a page offering London tickets, treat it with suspicion.
What it was
An immersive show produced by Netflix with Fever. You went into Hawkins Lab for a technology-led adventure in which you were the protagonist, alongside Eleven, Dustin and the rest, against Vecna. It ended in an eighties themed Mix-Tape section with food, drink, photo opportunities and merchandise.
The London run was staged at Troubadour Brent Cross Studios in north west London.
Where it still runs
Checked on the operator’s own site on 9 September 2026. The experience continues in other cities, and the official site lists which. If you are willing to travel for it, that list is the only reliable source, because it changes as runs open and close.
What to do instead in London
The immersive category in London is busy and several shows are running now. Immersive experiences in London covers what is on and which are worth it. The Paradox Museum in Knightsbridge and Bubble Planet in Wembley are the two closest in shape, both walk-through and both photograph-led.
For something with actors and a story rather than sets and photographs, the London Dungeon is the long-running version of that idea, and escape rooms are the version where the group does the work.
Why this page exists
Things close, and London closes things faster than most cities. We keep a running list of venues that have closed for exactly this reason: a page that quietly stays up saying somewhere is open is worse than no page at all.
