Pudding Lane
TimeTrap Escape Rooms Reading
Escape room
IRL
Great set decoration with terrific use of historical detail. Excellent puzzle flow as well. I have to give a special nod to our GM Jack, who was clearly watching closely-- he gave exactly the right nudges at exactly the right times. And he was knowledgable and passionate about the game as well. Also, I want to praise the game for giving us the best set of flashlights I've encountered in an escape room. They were small and lightweight but very bright. I wish other rooms with atmospheric lighting would follow their lead! (I realise that’s a small, almost trivial detail, but it’s indicative of the overall attention to detail that made this room so great.) All in all, one of my favorite games in the UK.
Magician's Workshop
Escape Room Herndon

An outstanding room with excellent puzzle flow. Great fun, and we’ll definitely be returning to this venue.
The Non Believers
Your Escape

Just an incredible technical creation— I was immersed in the world of the game and lost all sense of time and place. Great theatrical use of lighting and sound.
The Million Pound Heist
Enigma Quests - Shoreditch
Escape room
IRL
A fun game that might have seemed groundbreaking when it opened circa 2016. Although it is well maintained and nothing is broken, some of the puzzles feel a little dated— a bit too much combing through text on printed pieces of paper at the start. But it builds nicely.
The Gates of Hell
No Escape - Victoria
Escape room
IRL
A fun, well-constructed game with well-done sets and good puzzles. I’d put this in the top 50% of London escape rooms. It would rank higher, but there was one badly designed puzzle, where an object was in reach but we were told not to use it. It would be a fairly simple matter to move it a little farther away, so that it was out of reach to the average player but still accessible at the right time.
Hotel of Horrors
AIM Escape
Escape room

A solid, well done. Room. Good theming. Non-linear puzzle flow meant everybody already had something to do. Not necessarily worth going out of your way for, but certainly entertaining.
The Time Machine
Deadlocked Escape Rooms
Escape room
IRL
A fun and inventive game. The creators clearly didn't have a massive budget or a ton of space to work with, but they more than made up for with humor, inventiveness, and an obvious love for both sci-fi and escape rooms. And the in-character hosting was delightful.
Submarine: Mission Wavebreak
Enigma Quests - Shoreditch
Escape room
IRL
My least favorite of all the Enigma Quest rooms. I'd give this a "meh" if Morty allowed the option. Some of the puzzles were math-ier than I like, and although we succeeded, I think the possibility of sudden failure at the end is a bad design choice.
Spy Heroes
AIM Escape
Escape room
IRL
A solid but unspectacular room. Everything about it— set decorations, puzzles, story— was fine but not amazing. I’m giving it a thumbs up because it was a generally pleasant experience but it Morty had a “meh” option, I’d choose that.
Pharaoh's Chamber - A Cursed Tomb
Escape Rooms London Bridge
Escape room
IRL
This room opened in 2014, making it (I believe) one of the three oldest still-operating rooms in London. So, it’s not going to have the elaborately themed decoration of some more recent rooms. Expect an old school experience, with lots of puzzles and combination locks. But there’s a reason this room has survived almost a decade. The puzzles are varied, fair, and fun, and the nonlinear nature of the room means your whole team can stay busy.
