London: Private Escape Room Game with Local Hosts

Summary

Try a private escape room in London’s iconic center with locals

You’ll dive into a private escape room game right in central London, guided by local hosts who keep things lively. Solve clever puzzles as you chase down a legendary jewel heist story with your team. All equipment is provided — just bring your wits and curiosity for an hour you’ll remember long after you step back onto the street.

What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed was the faint smell of old books and something metallic — maybe from the props? We’d barely stepped inside this London escape room when our host, Sam, grinned and handed us a cryptic note. He had that dry British humor, which helped calm my nerves (I’m not great under pressure, honestly). The lights were low but not gloomy, just enough to make everything feel sharper. I could hear muffled laughter from another group down the hall — made me wonder if they were stuck too.

The story kicked off fast: we were supposed to pull off a jewel heist in Hatton Garden. Not exactly my usual Saturday. There was this moment when we cracked open a safe and I actually let out a weird little cheer — didn’t expect to get so into it. My friend tried to pronounce one of the code words in French; Sam laughed and said he’d heard worse attempts. The puzzles weren’t impossible but definitely made us think sideways, you know? At one point I got distracted by how real some of the props felt — like cold glass and velvet-lined boxes.

Time moved differently in there. I lost track until Sam reminded us we had ten minutes left (his tone got more dramatic on purpose). When we finally “escaped,” there was this rush of relief and pride mixed together — silly maybe, but real. Walking back outside into busy central London felt almost too bright after that hour inside. I still think about that last clue sometimes, wondering if we could’ve done it faster.
