It’s Now or Never: Elvis Evolution Has Entered the Building at Immerse LDN

If you’re ready to get all shook up, then get yourself down to Elvis Evolution – the brand-new immersive experience now open at Immerse LDN at ExCeL London Waterfront. Onin.London attended the press night last night and spoiler alert…. We loved it!  This hip-swinging celebration of the King of Rock and Roll is pure burning love from start to finish, blending state-of-the-art tech with a heart-thumping tribute to Elvis Presley’s life, music, and legacy.

Running until December 2025, Elvis Evolution is your chance to experience Elvis like never before – up close, personal, and quite literally always on your mind.

You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet

Now we’ve reviewed Jeff Wayne’s The War of the Worlds: The Immersive Experience before and this show is created by the team behind that so we knew we would be in for a treat! Elvis Evolution certainly delivers as it transports fans through the highs, lows, and legendary moments of Elvis’ life. You’ll walk in his blue suede shoes from his early Sun Records days to his glittering Vegas years – no suspicious minds here, just pure showbiz magic. I’ve been to Graceland before and it still amazes me to this day the impact that Elvis has had on pop culture, music and the world. He’s an icon for a reason!

Over the course of two immersive hours, guests are taken on a journey using groundbreaking layered storytelling: live actors, a rocking band, cinematic visuals, scent effects, haptics, and even temperature shifts – making you feel every moment with the intensity of a Presley power ballad. This isn’t just a show. It’s a full-body, soul-shaking experience that will leave you saying, “That’s the wonder of you.”

Viva Las… London!

You’ll move through iconic recreations like Bob’s Burbank Diner (inspired by the real-life L.A. landmark opposite NBC Studios), Elvis’s ’68 Comeback Special dressing room, and other legendary moments brought to life using cutting-edge AI. Expect never-before-seen perspectives and heartfelt backstage reimaginings that will make even the most diehard Elvis fan feel like they’re seeing the King for the very first time.

With dazzling costumes, unforgettable vocals, and toe-tapping performances of hits like Hound Dog, Jailhouse Rock, and Can’t Help Falling in Love, you’ll be ready to declare: “I just want to be your teddy bear!”

Food So Good It’ll Leave You Crying in the Chapel

Before your journey begins, make a pit stop at Bob’s Burbank Diner – a retro 1960s-style hangout where you can tuck into Elvis’s favourite Southern-style treats. Think classic hot dogs, creamy peanut butter and banana milkshakes (which are amazing by the way!!) fizzy Pepsi floats, and good ol’ American diner fare that’ll leave your tastebuds in the ghetto no more. My friend throughly enjoyed the nachos and hotdogs!

Later, sip themed cocktails at the Blue Hawaii bar during the interval, then keep the party going at the All Shook Up after-party lounge – included in all ticket tiers – with DJs, dancing, and live entertainment that’ll have you rockin’ around the clock. They had mocktail options of the cocktails available as well which was a nice touch as I can’t drink currently due to being pregnant so it was a nice touch.

Love Me (VIP) Tender

Price wise it’s a little on the expensive side as Ticket prices start at £68 (plus fees), including the full experience and access to the epic post-show party.

Especiallu if you want to treat yourself like Memphis royalty? Go VIP, baby.

  • The Burning Love package (£171) includes priority entry, a souvenir photo with Elvis, exclusive merch, and reserved seating.
  • The If I Can Dream package (£285) is the ultimate fan fantasy – with all of the above, plus mid-show Champagne, a commemorative glass, VIP lounge access, and limited-edition collectables. It’s the king-sized treatment.

But for a fully immersive show, I think the price is worth it. There really wasn’t a dull moment throughout and we were amazed at the sets, costumes, acting, singing, dancing and theatrics of it all throughout the entire show!

Good Times Never Seemed So Good

Located at ExCeL London and easily reached via Custom House (Elizabeth Line & DLR), Immerse LDN is the perfect place to follow that dream. With multiple performances running Wednesday to Sunday, there’s no excuse to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to return to sender… straight into the world of Elvis.

Whether you’re a lifelong fan or falling for the King for the very first time, Elvis Evolution is a high-energy, heart-filled, rhinestone-studded ride through music history. It’s one for the memory books – so don’t be lonesome tonight… get your tickets and join the celebration.

We had an absolutely fabulous time filled with laughter, awe and it was really great getting to know the King of Rock And Roll a little more and the behind the scenes of the fabulous Comeback show!
