About
Immersive Gamebox Southbank brings the same floor-to-ceiling digital gaming experience as the Shoreditch location, but with the added convenience of a South Bank address that makes it easy to combine with a day on the Thames. Private rooms use projection mapping and motion capture to turn every surface into an interactive game environment — families jump, swipe, and shout their way through themed digital experiences as a group. The Southbank location sits in a prime tourist and family corridor, with the London Eye, Tate Modern, SEA LIFE Aquarium, and the BFI Southbank all within walking distance.
This makes it a natural addition to a South Bank day rather than a standalone journey. Like the Shoreditch venue, the game library rotates and includes licensed titles as well as Gamebox originals — check the website for the current lineup before booking. Sessions are 60 minutes of active play in a fully private room, which suits families who prefer not to be mixed with strangers.
The physicality of the experience varies by game title — some are more relaxed and puzzle-focused while others require real physical movement. Either way, it's a strong choice for a rainy London afternoon when kids need something engaging and interactive indoors without the passive experience of a cinema. Book a few days ahead, especially for weekend sessions in the school holidays.

Why Kids Love It
The whole room becomes a game — walls, floors, ceilings — and kids can't believe they're actually inside it. It's a completely different experience from anything at home
Pro Tips from Parents
- The South Bank location is ideal to pair with SEA LIFE or the Tate Modern for a full family day out
- Arrive 5–10 minutes before your session — late arrival cuts into your 60-minute play time
- Mid-week bookings are typically 15–20% cheaper than weekend slots
What to Bring
- Comfortable flat shoes — the floor sensors require standard footwear
- Nothing fragile — there's limited storage and the room gets physically active
- Energy — 60 minutes of motion-tracked gaming is more tiring than it looks
