Vikings: The Immersive Experience is landing at Dock X this March

This March, London welcomes a powerful new cultural attraction -Vikings: The Immersive Experience landing at Dock X. Far more than a battle-led retelling, this ambitious exhibition offers an emotional and educational journey into the heart of Viking society, centred on one of its most influential dynasties. Visitors are invited to step inside the world of King Ragnar Lodbrok, Queen Kraka (Aslaug) and their legendary sons, including Ivar the Boneless and Bjorn Ironside.

Blending large-scale physical sets with cutting-edge technology, the experience unfolds across richly detailed environments designed to fully immerse guests in the Viking age. Highlights include a dramatic forest-style discovery space and a towering mythological Yggdrasil, also known as the World Tree, brought to life through light, sound and projection. High-resolution video mapping, virtual reality and a sweeping cinematic score combine to transport visitors back to 9th-century Scandinavia and the lands the Vikings once explored and conquered.

A defining feature of the exhibition is its focus on Queen Kraka, whose wisdom, foresight and spiritual power are often overshadowed in popular history. Through storytelling and immersive visuals, visitors follow her journey from hidden royal lineage to revered völva, revealing the pivotal role she played in shaping one of the most feared families of the North.

The experience culminates in a striking 360-degree cinematic presentation set around a real Viking longship, guiding audiences through a tale of love, fate, vengeance and legacy. Accessible, multi-sensory and thoughtfully designed, Vikings: The Immersive Experience will appeal to history lovers, families, school groups and fans of Vikings alike.

Tickets start from £19 for children and £23 for adults, with concessions and VIP options available. Public opening on 13^th March 2026.

Address: Dock X, Unit 1 Canada Water, Surrey Quays Rd, London, SE16 2XU

South Asia comes to Northwest London with the opening of Dhakaah this month. Named after the capital city of Bangladesh, this casual dining spot adds yet another option to Hawley Wharf market in Camden which is fast becoming a food mecca with over 20 options from across the globe with pho to hot dogs to ice cream.

Dhakaah specialises in spicy street food with free range British ingredients: so expect fuchka: the Bangladeshi version of Pani Puri, filled with spiced potato, chickpeas and spiced tamarind; Beef Kathi Roll: spiced mezbani curry wrapped in handmade parotta flaky flatbread - peyaju: crisp dahl fritters of Shingara shortcrust pastry filled with soft potato and spiced vegetables and the crown jewel of the menu: free-range chicken leg caramelised with onion, mixed nuts and masala spices.

If you've got room for dessert there are different flavours of Kulfi and you can wash it all down with a selection of authentic drinks such as lassi and Borhani: a yogurt based drink with green chilli, black salt coriander and mint. These guys even plan to brew their own beer!
