Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience has closed in London. The exhibition’s own site says so twice, with a banner reading “We’re closed!” and a ticket button that just says CLOSED. The confusing part is that the same page still carries the old line “Hurry up! Last month of Van Gogh London!” directly above it, and still lists opening hours as though nothing has changed. That is why so many listings elsewhere still show it as running.
It ran at 106 Commercial Street in Spitalfields, E1 6LZ, opposite Old Spitalfields Market. We read the site on 10 October 2026.
What is there now
The closure banner points to a new experience at the same address, Seven Wonders of the World, which is also run by Fever. Its own page is not encouraging either: it says “Final days in London! The 7 Wonders are leaving soon” and, when we looked, no tickets were available at all. So the banner promises something coming while the thing itself is advertised as leaving. If you’re planning a trip to that building, check before you travel. The Seven Wonders listing gives a 70 minute visit, all ages, and the nearest stations as Liverpool Street and Shoreditch High Street.
What the Van Gogh show was
A 360 degree projection show of more than 1,000 square metres with two-storey projections, plus a separate virtual reality piece that walked you through eight works including Vincent’s Bedroom at Arles and Starry Night Over the Rhone. There was a room where you painted something and had it projected on the wall. A visit took about 90 minutes. The building is a former 19th century stable over three floors, about 17,000 square feet, built around a triple height atrium.
The access detail worth keeping
This is the part that other listings never carried, and it’s worth recording because the venue is still in use. The exhibition was wheelchair accessible on the ground floor only, which covered the tea station, the gift shop and the immersive room. Booklets reproduced the pictures and articles from the upstairs gallery, in print and online, with a link to the documentary, and VR headsets and colouring printouts were available on that floor.
The toilets were step-free but there were no disabled toilets, and the site said the nearest one is opposite, in Spitalfields Market. The space was described as not accessible for prams, with no baby changing facilities, and pushchair storage was very limited, so the venue warned it might not be able to admit them in school holidays. Carers went free on showing documentation, with the person needing assistance holding a valid ticket, and the accepted proof included middle or higher rate DLA, PIP, evidence of being severely sight impaired, a CredAbility Access Card with one category requirement, or a recognised Assistance Dog ID card.
There were no strobe lights. VR headsets weren’t recommended for anyone with magnetic hearing aids, and guests with a pacemaker couldn’t do the VR section at all.
A small giveaway
The London FAQ answered the question about official sellers by saying that official tickets for the experience “in Atlanta” could only be bought through Fever. The page was copied from another city and never corrected, which is a useful reminder about how much of this material is boilerplate rather than something checked for London.

How to get in
The exhibition has closed and its site says so, although the same page still carries a last month message and the old opening hours. A replacement at the same address, Seven Wonders of the World, says final days and had no tickets available when we checked on 10 October 2026. The venue was wheelchair accessible on the ground floor only, had no disabled toilet, and was not accessible for prams
Where to go next
Old Spitalfields Market is opposite, and Bubble Planet and Frameless are immersive shows that are still running.

Questions we get asked
Is the Van Gogh exhibition in London still open?
No. Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience at 106 Commercial Street has closed, and the exhibition's own site shows a closed banner and a CLOSED ticket button. The same page still shows a last month message and the old opening hours, which is why other listings look current.
What has replaced the Van Gogh exhibition in London?
Seven Wonders of the World, an immersive exhibition at the same address from the same operator. When we checked on 10 October 2026 its page said final days in London and no tickets were available, so check before travelling.
Where was the Van Gogh immersive experience in London?
At 106 Commercial Street, E1 6LZ, a former 19th century stable building opposite Old Spitalfields Market, with Liverpool Street and Shoreditch High Street the nearest stations.
How long did the Van Gogh immersive experience take?
About 90 minutes. The Seven Wonders exhibition at the same venue is listed at 70 minutes.
Was the Van Gogh exhibition wheelchair accessible?
Only on the ground floor, which covered the tea station, gift shop and immersive room. Booklets reproduced the upstairs gallery in print and online. The toilets were step-free but there was no disabled toilet, and the venue said the nearest was opposite in Spitalfields Market.
Could you take a pushchair into the Van Gogh exhibition?
Not reliably. The venue said the space was not accessible for prams and had no baby changing facilities, and that pushchair storage was very limited, so access might be refused in school holidays.
