This is particularly true for theatre. There is so much more to the capital than the West End.

When it comes to experimental and immersive theatre, London really is leading the way. As immersive theatre becomes increasingly popular, we have kept a keen eye on those pioneering theatre groups that put on productions that allow the audience to interact with the set, the performers and to actually become part of the action themselves.

We have also included their social media accounts so you can keep up to date with all of their latest productions and never miss another ground breaking show.
