Great experience - good bar

The welcome into the bar is great with the Martian draped over the bar and periodic blasts of smoke down from the ceiling announcing the next small group to start. Staff are welcoming and enthusiastic. Decent pint of Guiness means I would actually drop into the bar without the experience! Experience itself is overall very good. Maybe too much time spent on dialogue with the actors but they are great and provide much entertainment especially if you interact and let them ad-lib. VR minimal but ok.

A very different experience

A great mixture of live actors and virtual reality mixed in an atmospheric environment.The only downside for me was paying over £15 for 2 half pints of a mediocre light ale and 2 packets of crisps

Wow what a sensory delight

The minute you arrive the staff and very helpful and organised.I don't want to spoil the treat, but if you have a good imagination, love a bit of live theatre and can climb, duck and wear a visor you will love it.All fans of The war or the worlds this is a must.Not sure its suitable for most younger audiences, smells, glasses and sensations might not suit all.

War of the Worlds

This must be one of the best experiences you can get in London at the moment. It helps if you are a sy-fy fan and are familiar with H.G.Wells story but you will enjoy it because it is so well explained as you progress through the settings. The VR sections are particularly good complemented by movement, wind and water effects. A superb experience, well done Layered Reality.

Fabulous fun!

This was great fun! The actors were amazing and it was a great way to be part of the War of the Worlds story. There were parts that made me jump and parts that made me laugh. There were lots of people of different ages and even if you don’t know much about the story it’s still easy to get into.

Amazing

Everything about this experience was amazing, all the actors were incredible. It's so immersive and it's a brilliant new way to hear the soundtrack from the musical. Even the bars fit the theme and have some great co*cktails on offer.

Fantastic experience

Bought this for my husband as he loves War of the Worlds, but I really enjoyed it as well. A great theatrical mix of real life and virtual reality. The actors are great, they really bring the whole experience to life and I loved the virtual reality parts as well, although I actually felt sea sick at one point. A highly entertaining afternoon!

A unique theatee experience

Th8s is the future of theatee, it is a fantastic experience, not for those of a nervous disposition. The story is fast paced and the a tors really throw themselvez into the roles. I would thoroughly recommend this to any War of the Worlds fan.

Fantastic Experience!

Being senior citizens we were a little apprehensive as to whether we would struggle with the activities asked of us. We needn’t have worried as the staff made us feel so welcome and we managed to do everything that was asked of us. The acting was amazing, the story telling thoughout and scenes we were immersed in were fabulous. Such amazing technology used effectively. Thank you all for an amazing experience.

Great fun, full of surprises and shocks

Starting in a steam punk bar, you are welcomed into the world of the Martian invasion. Taken through HG Wells story by actors, holograms and VR scenes, it is full of surprises, scares, shocks and wonder. All to the soundtrack of Jeff Wayne’s classic album, it was a great couple of hours. The boat trip that ended up sailing through the heart of the battle between Thunderchild and the fighting machines, complete with water spray and rolling waves, was a highlight. Brilliant fun, go if you can.

Just amazing start to finish

I was given the War of the Worlds experiences as a Christmas present. From the moment we walked through the doors we where sent back in time to just after the war. Actors, presentation just brilliant i do not want to say too much as the surprises along the way are great. If you love WOTW it is a must.

Fantastic experience

This is such good fun, I've never done anything comparable, immersive theatre with virtual reality, the theming and actors are phenomenal, we'll organised and actual good value for the number of scenes you're 'in' and the level of detail.

Fantastic Christmas present

Visited The War of the Worlds experience on 25/01/20 and it's a day I'll never forget! From the excellent themed bar, fantastic actors, attentive staff , excellent effects and of course Jeff Wayne's timeless soundtrack make this a must do experience! I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

A brilliant afternoon!

I’ve been a fan of Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds for many years. This ‘immersive’ experience was every bit as good! The staff, including the actors were superb - organised and efficient keeping us moving through the experience whilst ensuring everyone had fun. The virtual reality was absolutely brilliant, complemented by the occasional ‘human intervention’. Oh, and the IPA was particularly good too! A great afternoon - thanks to all the staff!

Possibly best ever thing done in London

This was a post Christmas treat for me and my better off Jane to whom I have been with for 25 years this week. A fantastic experience and thoroughly enjoyable evening and we'll try to to do it again before it finishes later this year.
