The area
Address
Neighbourhood: City of London
From its ancient past as a Roman trading outpost to its 21st century status as the wealthiest square mile in the world, the financial district known simply as “The City” is one of London's most historic and fascinating neighbourhoods. Here high rise office towers such as Norman Foster’s Gherkin mingle with Roman ruins and architectural marvels from virtually every era in between, including Christopher Wren's glorious St.Paul's Cathedral, and John Soane's dauntingly classicist Bank of England. This neighbourhood is also home to some of the finest restaurants and plushest hotels in Europe, in addition to an assortment of of watering holes, upscale shops, and Tube stations. During the week, the City is abuzz with white collar workers going about their business; the weekend sees this area turn into a quiet haven for sightseers.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Bank heist room was very frustrating, as we got led into the room without any kind of clues and once inside, there was only a paper with the name Bob Johnson securely fitted to the inside of a draw and we were expected to work it out from there! The clues aren't helpful at all, resulting in my group of only three people having to telephone staff members for clues, six times in total! The second room was even worst, as it requires the team to convert animal symbols and letters into a code that is meant to open the padlock. If you don't enjoy multiplication I would suggest your forget about this experience and use your money on another.
In addition, this experience is rather expensive as I paid £78 for three people (Two of which were under 16's - no concessions available and if you arrive late, time will be taken off - no exceptions)
Would never go again nor recommend.

I would review 0 stars if I could, me and my family had a day booked out on 26th February. We travelled to the venue by train from Milton Keynes, when arriving at the venue we were greeted by builders who advised us the venue was closed for building works. We received a reminder email on the morning for our booking and even an email the next day checking we enjoyed our experience. We had no communications at all that the building was closed for building work. They have now taken over a month to respond to any correspondents and are refusing to offer any refund for the experience we payed for or for the travel expenses it cost 7 of us to travel up for. They have no remorse for what happened and will only offer us another date to move this too. It cost us money too travel for an experience that was closed for building work. I would not recommend.

We paid to go in August for a friends birthday, since then they have shut and have not replied to any emails or telephone calls.
We have now been notified that our payment should not have been taken and we will not be issued a refund.
Shocking service from the owner in particular!

On my 3rd visit to Escape we tried the newest room, Prohibition Pandemonium. Myself and my work colleagues did it as a team of 9 and loved the challenge. There were so many interesting elements to the room and things that you wouldn't even think could trigger another clue! A great challenge and looking forward to the next one!

Im extremely disappointed. I played the murder mystery game and found out that the GMs are the ones that decide whether you make it out or not. Every time i would figure something out there was a huge delay before i could get to the next puzzle even though i did it the right way. There is also nothing to let you know you've got something ‘correct’ so we wasted alot of time on the first part. When i confronted the GM they sort of just said ‘ too bad’ in a polite almost condescending way.

I’ve worked in escape rooms and done several. The staff were very friendly and not too much. They rang at appropriate times, didn’t overdo it, and were friendly. They read our team well.
We lost around 4 minutes due to faulty objects in the room requiring a key and 4 locks were not working and all the GM could say is ‘just be gentle with the locks’. This should be rectified to reduce disappointment in the game.
Overall not bad, though :)

I have to say we weren't expecting much based on some of the other reviews. However, these seem to be historical, and certainly not remotely close to the experience we had.
We are seasoned "Escape Roomers", and played the Bank Heist room.
The Games Master was warm and welcoming to us on arrival, was on hand if we called for clues - had a very unique way of administering clues "You can ask when you need one, but we will add 1 minute to your time (but not the 1 hour you have to escape".
The clues were well given, and certainly not obvious - it may have been one of the most challenging rooms we've played in terms of having to think and work things out, but everything is there for you to complete it. In addition, they also had one of the best photo areas for the "we made it" photos, especially in light of Covid, with a room with a photo booth. In addition, we all got medals for escaping - whilst this isn't a reason to go, it was a nice touch and went nicely with the memory.
This is truly an excellent escape room (no idea how the others are, but in regards of the Bank Heist themed room).
Definitely would go back for other rooms.

I did this with my colleagues and manager during our team away day. It was great fun! There are quite a few puzzles with various degrees of difficulty, we didn't manage to solve it all before time ran out but it was very enjoyable and the hour just flew by. The lady who acted as games master was very friendly and helped us when we got too stuck. Perfect as a team building activity.

Recently completed the Rob the Bank escape room - we took part as a family of 4 and had a great time.....managed to get out with minutes to spare - but regardless of escaping or not it was still good fun. It was the first escape room for 3 of us and having some one who had previous escape room experience helped.....but it was still a good laugh.

It was a great game, there is no doubt about that. The puzzles were well thought out and the hints were well timed when it was clear we were stuck! We did escape in 55 mins. The location is great and the waiting area adds to the feel of the place. Our greeter was friendly and clear with her advice.
So why not 5 stars? Well, in this day and age, lets face it, you do escape rooms for the photo and the sign saying 'We escaped!' and your time. Here, we were left to our own devices with a booth and the printer was broken. And no sign provided, just props that didn't really relate to the experience. But the lady promised they would be emailed. Unfortunately, despite chasing these were not sent. I waited 2 weeks to do this review as I have finally found our photo (only 1!) on their Facebook page. So overall that left the last event of my hen do a bit disappointing! I feel bad dropping the star as the game and staff were good- but if you like to do a lot of rooms and get your escape time photo, you will be disappointed!
