Museum of Illusions London

Step into a world where nothing is quite as it seems at the Museum of Illusions London, located on Tottenham Court Road in the heart of the city. This immersive attraction features over 70 interactive exhibits designed to delight, puzzle and inspire visitors of all ages. From gravity-defying vortex tunnels to mesmerising infinity rooms and walk-in kaleidoscopes, each space invites you to become part of the illusion.

Begin your journey by exploring a series of mind-bending rooms, including the famous Ames Room, where you can shrink or grow at will, and the Infinity Room, where reflections seem to go on forever. Try swapping noses with a friend, hanging from 10 Downing Street or losing yourself in a kaleidoscopic world of colour and light. Each illusion comes with a simple explanation, so you’ll discover the science and psychology behind the tricks as you play.

The museum’s compact, accessible layout makes it easy to explore in 1–2 hours, making it a perfect addition to a day out in central London. Facilities include accessible toilets, baby-changing, free Wi-Fi and wheelchair-friendly routes. Just moments from Oxford Street and Soho, it’s perfectly placed for a day out in central London.
