PHANTOM PEAK to open major new venue at Westfield Stratford City in Summer 2026
Phantom Peak, the leading open-world immersive experience, has announced that they will open a new venue in London’s Westfield Stratford City in Summer 2026.
Launched in 2022 at Canada Water, Phantom Peak offers an immersive experience like no other. Guests of all ages lose themselves in a fully immersive town filled with interesting characters to meet, interactive quests to complete, and carnival and arcade games to enjoy. The whole experience is tied together with an underlying story that evolves and moves forward with a change of seasons every 3-4 months.
The story of Phantom Peak will continue at the Westfield Stratford City, with the experience expanding to hold more guests with a multi-level, accessible venue with three distinct areas for guests to explore: Old Town, the Town Square & Lakeside. Each district includes characters to meet, unique technology to interact with and a distinct world to explore. Old Town is the underground industrial mining town - the heart of Phantom Peak’s industry. The Town Square is a more modern area with impressive, multi-floored buildings, including a Town Hall and the in-world bar: the Thirsty Frontier Saloon. Lakeside is, as the name suggests, set around an indoor lake. At its centre will lie The Watermill with its iconic water wheel.
Alongside the upgrades to the physical set of Phantom Peak, the new venue will bring technological upgrades to enhance the magic and storytelling of the immersive experience. The custom-made ‘wingman’ units, designed by Tandem Set & Scenery, will power each character space. These units allow characters to trigger lighting, sound, and physical effects within a local area - creating magic and wonderment in the moment, for a small number of guests at a time.
The entry to the experience will also be upgraded with a new three-tier VIP experience option. These premier options will see guests take a seat on a train carriage for a unique, personalised entry to town. For others, they will descend the stairs into the Old Town, the gates will open, and they’ll be free to roam the vast space.
Alongside the Phantom Peak experience, a fully themed bar will be open 7 days a week. This will allow guests to take a seat and enjoy speciality cocktails and great food or wander down into the town and explore a unique area with arcade and carnival games.
The venue has also been developed to accommodate corporate bookings and private hires. Numerous small, medium and large spaces throughout the town will be available for groups of 6 to 100+. These spaces will also be available for hire outside of the experience’s schedule.
The expansion into Westfield Stratford has been made possible after an investment into The League of Adventure, the group behind Phantom Peak, by a leading European private equity investor. This investment brings together LoA’s three companies - Phantom Peak, Tandem Set & Scenery, and Spectre & Vox - under one group as a new live experience creative studio powerhouse.
Co-Founder and Creative Director Nick Moran said: “We’re thrilled to be bringing Phantom Peak to the iconic Westfield Stratford City in Summer 2026. After more than three exceptional years of overwhelming public support and enthusiasm, it feels like the perfect moment to introduce the Phantom Peak experience to such a prestigious destination. As a completely original British IP in the immersive and competitive socialising space, Phantom Peak has been built around bold world-building, shared discovery, and unforgettable moments. This next chapter marks an exciting evolution of the brand - and we can’t wait to welcome even more guests into the town and create an experience that blows them away, time and time again.”
The original Phantom Peak in Canada Water will close on 28 February after 625 performances. Phantom Peak Westfield Stratford City will open in Summer 2026 with tickets on sale soon.
