Things To Do In London This Weekend is sponsored by Stella Artois.
Visit Victorian London and the First Wimbledon Tennis Championships
Step into the streets of Victorian London: a murky yet exciting place filled with big characters. Run into a debonair detective and a certain Queen Victoria, in this experience from reputed immersive theatre team Les Enfants Terrible.
Meanwhile two brands are just starting to make their mark on the city. Experience the little-known tennis tournament called Wimbledon, and a new Belgian beer being served up to Londoners for the first time — from a brewery known as Artois.
The Time Portal runs from 7-10 July from noon to 9.40pm. Tickets cost £13.50 - £18 (including a £1 booking fee) for each 40-minute theatrical experience, including two free drinks. Visit ebplive.co.uk/stellaartois to find out more.
