The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Shoreditch
The western front of the edgy East End, Shoreditch is a perennially trendy haven for anything “street” – be it art, food, or fashion. With its handful of well connected transportation links dotting its perimeter, along with an ever increasing variety of shops, hotels, bars, and restaurants, it's easy to explore this trend-conscious and youth-oriented neighbourhood. There's a lingering post-industrial grit about Shoreditch, but because it shares a border with “The City” financial district, the influence from its upscale neighbour can result in fascinating outcomes.

    Fun room, great customer service
    Escape Plan frequently comes up when you ask an escape room enthusiast to name the best escape rooms in London. We did Roll Out The Barrel which had a fun, cheeky theme. It was great and unusual escape room, with lots of physical wooden puzzles. Also the staff was incredibly accommodating. Although the website is very clear that you need to book in advance, we decided to take a chance and just show up. Lydia the game master came in just to run the game for us-- much appreciated! She was great and we had a very fun experience. (FYI for Roll Out The Barrel, at least one member of your party will need to clamber over a waist-high obstacle.)
    Thank you for your enthusiastic review. We're glad you enjoyed Roll Out The Barrel experience and the design that went into the room, it really means a lot to us. Lidia had a brilliant time hosting your game, and we hope you'll be back to play the others in the future. We also provide a bypass in the room for any physical obstacles in the room. Accessibility is important to us as a company so we always provide a clear access point in the design of our games.

    Amazing!
    Amazing experience, Brendan was a great host and had a lovely chat after escaping. Amazing theming and variety of puzzles, worked fantastically for our group of 3, although we have done plenty of escape rooms before, so would work for larger groups too! Overall 10/10 experience, would highly recommend and they deserve all the praise they get!

    Excellent room with great novel puzzles
    Visited last weekend as a group of 4 to do the Adventure Begins, and will definitely be returning. Charis was an excellent host, and was very happy to discuss puzzles with us after we escaped. The puzzles themselves were great, they were all thematically appropriate, often involved really cool mechanical tricks and had a great amount of parallelism. Very impressed, you can definitely tell it's a small outfit creating their own, high quality, puzzles in house. One of the best rooms we've done in a long while!

    Loved The Battle For Britain!
    Couldn't recommend The Battle for Britain escape room enough. We did it as a team of four colleagues and had a lot of fun. The puzzles are interesting and well designed, and the mechanics for "winning" the room are novel and make for a really exciting experience. Looking forward to going back to try their other escape rooms.

    Dextrous and fun!
    We were really well received by the people who run the escape rooms. Sarah talked us through, gave subtle hints where necessary (so we could do all of the puzzles) and didn't try to push us out once we had completed it. The puzzles were pretty novel and a great calibre. Looking forward to their new room being built!
    Thanks - we're very grateful for your review. I'm glad you didn't feel rushed. We like to spend time in the debrief!

    Great Time and We Will Return!!
    This was one of the best escape rooms our family has been to in North America, the Middle East and Europe. The intricacy was amazing and more importantly there are historical elements that keep the game educational as well. I would highly recommend it if in London.
    We would be delighted to see you return! Thanks for the review.

    Fantastic 'escape' room!
    We loved the 'Battle For Britain' room! We played as a family, and have played quite a few escape rooms and enjoyed the novelty of this one, where you not trying to escape but instead reach a different objective, it took some of the time pressure away that some members of the family can feel in the last 5 minutes of other rooms. Lovely attention to detail in the theming, really clever puzzles and tech - a really quality room. We all loved it!

    One of the best escape room experiences :D
    Came here with my other half and two friends and did "The Adventure Begins" a 1940s WW2 themed experience. It was absolutely brilliant! So many really great puzzles and different types of things to figure out. It never felt repetitive or boring or too confusing - just the right side of challenging. Sarah was a great host and nudged us in the right direction as and when we needed it. Overall a great balance of challenges, a great story, and lots of fun. We really want to come back to try their other experiences. Highly recommend!

    No frustrating bits in this fab escape room
    Just completed Roll Out the Barrel with a group of friends. We’ve done lots of rooms and this is right up there as a favourite. Properly themed, unique puzzles, all the frustrating elements from other rooms were removed! A real delight. Our host Sam answered all our questions and made the experience perfect for us. Highly recommend!

    Never been to an escape room before, and booked it for my partners birthday with his friends. Everyone had an amazing time, and our host Sam was so engaging and giving the right amount of clues only when needed. 100000% recommend!

Had a great time at Escape Room. Definitely one of the best I’ve been to. Felt polished, all the puzzles worked as expected. Had an 8yo with us who was able to contribute. Staff were friendly and informative. Very little prompting was provided. Would highly recommend.

This was such a beautifully designed escape room, we had the best time! We did the "Roll out the Barrel" room as a couple and got out with 5 minutes to spare. Charis who was our host was so much fun and gave us little tips when we got stuck but otherwise just let us get on with it. Would 100% recommend this room and will probably be back to try the others!

I’ve now played all three games at Escape Plan, and they’re some of my favourite escape rooms I’ve done out of 30+. The Adventure Begins is my personal favourite, with brilliant puzzles, a thrilling setting, and a great soundscape. The highlight every time I’ve visited though has been the staff - Allie, Sarah and Sam are the nicest and most enthusiastic GMs I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting, and that’s said as a GM myself! The best escape rooms in London.

We went through two rooms with friends: The Battle for Britain and Roll out the Barrel. We really liked everything, high-quality puzzles that make you think, and positive emotions that will stay with you for a long time.
