It has been announced that Secret Cinema will launch a permanent home at Greenwich Peninsula later this year, subject to planning permission.

Having over the last 18 years created more than 60 large-scale immersive events in cities including London and Shanghai with immersive shows such as Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, Dirty Dancing, Stranger Things and Casino Royale, the company will have a long term residency in East London.

The aim of the newly announced venue is to provide a permanent, purpose-built space for the company’s large-scale productions, allowing audiences to step into detailed recreations of film and television worlds. It will be located a short distance from North Greenwich station and set along the Thames.

Talking of the news, Merritt Baer, artistic director and producer of Secret Cinema, said: “Greenwich Peninsula is the perfect location for Secret Cinema’s long-term flagship home. We are committed to bringing world-class immersive experiences to London audiences and are thrilled to work with local businesses and partners to make this happen. Secret Cinema is a curator of lasting memories and epic experiences, trailblazing the future of entertainment. We are looking forward to breaking ground on this venue and continuing to bring entertainment’s most loved stories to life.”
