ESCAPE ROOMS IN ISLINGTON

Our newest North London venue on Holloway Road, home to seven story-rich adventures — a cursed pirate ship, a journey into Londonland, Sherlock Holmes' famous apartment, a forbidden magic shop, a failing space station, our first true horror room, Echoes of Madness (from 31 October), and for one season only, The Great Christmas Lock-Up (13 November to 31 January). Lower fear factors and welcoming difficulty make Islington a brilliant choice for families, date nights and first-timers.
