Although technically set in Birmingham, Peaky Blinders is the gift that keeps on giving in terms of London attractions. Setting aside the million barber shops shamelessly inspired by the show, the last few years have given us immersive theatre show Peaky Blinders: The Rise and an actual honest-to-god ballet in the form of Peaky Blinders: The Redemption of Thomas Shelby.
And now here comes Peaky Blinders: Underworld, a new attraction that we’d probably have called ‘immersive’ two years ago but now everyone is over that word and so officially it’s an ‘experience’.
Openings its doors next month in the railway arches under London Bridge, the focal point will be the Garrison Tavern, a ‘faithfully recreated post-WW1 pub’ in recreation of the Peaky Blinders’ hangout from the show. The Garrison is non ticketed and open to all, so while we can only stress that it’ll probably be 2026 booze prices, you can nonetheless soak up a bit of those late 1910s Brummie criminal gang vibes without needing to pay an entry fee or do anything beyond have a nice pint and listen to some live music.
Of course, that’s only the tip of the iceberg, as paying ticket holders have an entire Underworld to explore. Once admitted into the space behind the pub, you’ll experience ‘interactive gameplay’ and ‘actor-led encounters’ as you roam recreations of Garrison Lane, the Bookies, Chinatown and the Small Heath Fairground.
It sounds quite a lot like immersive theatre to be honest, but it’s understandable that they might steer clear of a tag that’s been done to death. Whatever the case, it sounds like a lot of fun for Blinders fans and a more faithful way into the show’s world than roaming the streets of 21st century Brum.
Made by ‘live events powerhouse KMJ Entertainment in partnership with Banijay Rights’, it’s a separate production to the TV show but it does come with the full blessing of its creator Steven Knight. He says: ‘Peaky Blinders Underworld is not just a recreation of the Shelby family’s world, but a much wider destination. This venue gives fans the opportunity to socially engage with their beloved series through a completely new prism, while those less familiar with the show will find plenty to love about it too’.
Peaky Blinders: Underworld is at 8 Bermondsey St, London Bridge, booking Aug 13-Dec 30.
