While sporting options like watching Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium or tennis at Wimbledon are appealing, Londoners are increasingly choosing to experience the capital’s newest offerings, and one entertainment option that fits the bill is virtual reality gaming, a simulation experience that immerses players in a digital, interactive world.
After all, these types of gaming products are what particularly attract people with a passion for gaming in general. In addition to trying out major PlayStation 5 products such as Elden Ring, and popular options such as online casino games, locals and tourists with a passion for gaming will naturally be tempted to try something new, such as virtual reality games. Thankfully, London has a strong catalogue, with some major VR experiences having stood out recently.
Free-roam VR in Navrtar
A VR spot that has received a lot of praise recently, Navrtar’s Free-roam VR is definitely worth a try. Offering an unbeatable virtual reality adventure, this free-roam experience stands out from the other VR gaming options on our list. With a vast environment to explore and an advanced VR headset to strap on, you’ll soon be transported to a magical world as you overcome challenges and progress through a variety of interactive games. It’s fun and great value for money.
Different world
Another entry, OTHERWORLD, isn’t strictly a solo virtual reality game, but it does showcase the technology behind virtual reality products in a fantastic way. You’ll find a pod that can house you and your family, and once inside, a variety of adventures will unfold. Not only can you adjust conditions like temperature and wind, but players can also immerse themselves in different game scenarios, including jungles, zombies, and more. But OTHERWORLD’s pods are what make this game special, as they allow players to enter truly unique VR scenarios.
Alice in Wonderland in Meetspace VR
One of the top offerings in the city’s VR space, Meetspace VR’s Alice in Wonderland is extremely impressive. Located in Wembley, the venue allows groups of up to eight players at a time to tackle a range of immersive releases for a truly fantastic gaming adventure. From fending off hordes of zombies to taking down hordes of robots, it’s impossible not to be enthralled by the wide selection of titles on offer in a typical session. But for many, the Alice in Wonderland VR game is the particular highlight, especially as it brings together characters from the iconic saga in a truly unforgettable virtual reality package.
Zero Latency
If you’re tasked with organizing a group to spend a day playing virtual reality games, you can’t go wrong with Zero Latency. This spine-chilling game package is hard to fault, as you must overcome terrifying zombie-filled challenges to survive and thrive. Not only is it eerily accurate, it also provides a tough challenge for your team of virtual reality gamers.
VR Experience at Sea Life London Aquarium
While this option isn’t technically a game, it’s still noteworthy and continues to draw in visitors as much as a visit to SEA LIFE London Aquarium. Adding an extra layer of intrigue to the aquarium’s already robust offerings, the aquarium’s Virtual Reality Experience allows visitors to explore the deepest, darkest parts of the ocean, which can be enjoyed with the regular ticket purchase. From sharks and turtles to an abundance of tropical fish and stunning coral reefs, exploring the underwater world has never been more accessible.
