Get ready to step into the shadows of the past, because a massive new immersive experience based on the iconic BBC series Peaky Blinders is set to arrive in London later this summer.
Titled Peaky Blinders Underworld, this attraction promises to transport visitors to the infamous underworld of Thomas Shelby and his notorious gang, weaving history into a dynamic, interactive adventure.
The experience will be anchored in a spectacular location: historic railway arches nestled near London Bridge Station. Guests will explore settings inspired by the show’s lavish sets while engaging with live entertainment and actor-led encounters that bring the gritty world of the Shelby family vividly to life.
Entry begins at the faithfully recreated Garrison Tavern, a post-WWI pub where visitors can immediately soak up the atmosphere. This space will be free to visit and will offer guests food, drink, and live music, setting the perfect stage for an era of rebellion.
Beyond the tavern, the experience unfolds across various themed environments, including Garrison Lane, The Bookies, Chinatown, and even The Small Heath Fairground. Participants won’t just observe; they will engage in interactive gameplay and hands-on challenges, testing their mettle to see if they can join the syndicate and become part of the Peaky Blinders.
This is more than just a recreation of the show; it’s positioned as a wider destination. Steven Knight, the creator of the series, suggests that the venue allows fans to socially engage with their beloved series through a completely new prism, offering a rich experience for both devoted followers and newcomers eager to discover the appeal of the story.
The immersion extends beyond the main event. The Garrison Tavern space will also host various special late-night performances, live music sessions, and exclusive official merchandise, ensuring that the spirit of the show lingers long after guests depart.
Peaky Blinders Underworld offers fans a chance to delve deeper into the world of Tommy Shelby, drawing upon the legacy of a story that has cemented Birmingham’s place in global culture. As anticipation builds for the new season and the evolving narrative—which will explore “the race to rebuild Birmingham” after the Second World War—this immersive experience promises an unforgettable journey through history, ambition, and danger.
