BBC Earth Experience
Only opened from spring 2023, this is one of London's newest kids in the block. Welcome to the BBC Earth Experience. There's a wow factor as soon as you enter with over 30 foot pyramidal shaped screens in the main hall showing natural places across the entire planet. From polar bears in the Arctic to orangutans in Borneo swinging over your head you can't help but be enlightened by the true beauty still captured in our world. Narrated by Sir David Attenborough the place deserves respect as much as your time.
Before arriving I was skeptical due to the number of complaints I'd read about the lack of seating. In light of this being the case I'm almost relieved to say it made my experience better. Walking through the every changing visually uplifting imagery was quite mesmerizing. If anything remaining seated, as I tried to, didn't bring this place to life in the same way as moving around the main hall and chambers connected to it.
Adult tickets will set you back £21.50 and time inside is limitless within opening times. Two hours was easily enough but is best assessed on experience over time spent. For obvious reasons the venue is more or less a paperless attraction, thus leaflets are nowhere to be found. Souvenirs range from cards and books to bags and t-shirts.
