AD | If youâve ever wanted to step inside your favourite sci-fi story and fly your own spaceship... this exists in London. đ
@Bridge_Command in Vauxhall might be one of the best immersive experiences in the city right now, and I canât believe more people arenât talking about it!
The experience begins from the moment you arrive. Youâre assigned a uniform, meet your crew, grab a sci-fi themed cocktail or mocktail from the shipâs bar (yes, you can take it onboard), and then youâre transported up to the bridge. When those doors open, it genuinely feels like youâve left Earth.
You can choose from different mission types (from diplomacy to full on space chaos) and also pick your role. I chose defence, which meant tracking enemy spacecraft and firing missiles at them. SO fun.
What really sets Bridge Command apart is that no two missions are ever the same. They save your mission data, so when you return your personalised storyline continues. You build your career, earn promotions, and collect real-life badges. Theyâre tracking over 1,000 storylines at this point, so itâs basically a real-life multiverse!
The actors are brilliant, but the spaceship itself is next level. Handprint-activated doors, secret hatches, sleeping bays, smoke, sparks, alarms when things go wrong... the attention to detail is unreal.
My personal highlight was climbing a ladder, sliding open a hidden hatch, and revealing the self-destruct button. Yes, you can actually press it.
If you love sci-fi, fantasy, or properly immersive storytelling, this is absolutely worth it. Itâs basically like playing a video game or stepping into your fave sci fi series in real life and one of the top things to do in London for film lovers.
