After raising £2.9 million in investment from leading venture capital funds, Otherworld has unveiled a second sci-fi gaming venue in London, this time in Victoria. (The original site is Otherworld Haggerston.)

Ten taps are on offer, including Asahi, Peroni, Tiny Rebel and premium cocktails from Black Lines.Otherworld VictoriaOtherworld says its private gaming pods (suitable for groups of up to eight people) have so far transported more than 60,000 people since 2019 to a virtual paradise island where they can enjoy 16 of the best immersive gaming, arts and education experiences.

"Spring is best for first-timers while Winter is better suited to more confident gamers. Whether you're new to VR or a gaming pro, there'll be something you'll enjoy."

A 40-minute session for one person costs £15-£31. (Be warned that VR gaming can sometimes make you feel dizzy and nauseous, though.)
