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

Last week we transported ourselves to Southern California via Mexico tasting the creative, colourful and moreish tacos from Tigre. Their menu has come to the pop-up at Hacha Dalston, famous for their Mirror Margaritas, 7th best cocktail in the world award…

Hacha takes their margaritas so seriously they have their own Instagram, bottled spirit and beautiful agave-shaped glass jars on the bar infusing their stunning drinks. The decor is laid back and stylish and the staff are keen to answer questions and recommend their favourites.

We both tried the alcohol-free and alcohol versions which come with no umbrellas, gimmicks or cheesy straws needed for these grown-up cocktails served on beautiful traditional Mexican tiles. Tigre are equally as serious about their tacos following successful appearances across the city in pubs and restaurants with an all-fish and veggie menu focusing on colourful summer flavours and spices.

We ate the sharer portion of three cheese and onion quesadillas served with a tangy and spicy Salsa Roja which was plenty between us. We followed with a taco trio of Calabasitas, layered grilled courgettes with a sprinkling of feta and tangy salsa verde.

The No Fish Bajas were superbly spicy and fresh comprising Baja-style Banana blossoms and chipotle mayo with salsa verde. Our favourites were the MangoTostadas served on blue corn tortillas with a mango and kohlrabi ceviche. We left full and warm from the spices back in the December sub-zero temperatures feeling like we’d been on holiday.
