Although sports-based options like watching Arsenal at the Emirates and taking in the tennis at Wimbledon also appeal, experiencing some of the capital’s new offerings is proving to be popular with Londoners. An entertaining choice that fits the bill in that respect is virtual reality gaming, a simulated experience where players dive into a digital realm and immerse themselves in an interactive world.
After all, these types of gaming products fascinate so many people, particularly those who have a passion for gaming in general. Alongside sampling leading PlayStation 5 products like Elden Ring and dabbling in popular options like online casino games, locals and tourists with a passion for gaming are understandably tempted to try emerging things like virtual reality gaming. Thankfully, London has a strong catalogue here, with a number of leading VR experiences standing out recently.

OTHERWORLD
An alternative entry, OTHERWORLD isn’t strictly a virtual reality game that can be enjoyed individually, but it showcases the technology behind virtual reality products in a fantastic way. Containing pods that can host you and your loved ones, as soon as you enter them, numerous adventures unfold. Alongside having the opportunity to adjust conditions like temperature and wind, players can throw themselves into an array of gaming scenarios involving jungles, zombies, and more.
