A ground-breaking new attraction will give visitors the chance to experience the extraordinary diversity of our seven unique continents, on the most epic scale. Opening March 2023, the BBC Earth Experience at the Daikin Centre, Earl’s Court London, will showcase extended and immersive footage and music from the BBC Studios Natural History Unit television series Seven Worlds, One Planet, projected on multiple multi-angle screens using the very latest digital screen technology.
This captivating digital experience will also feature bespoke narration by the legendary Sir David Attenborough, who narrated Seven Worlds, One Planet when it first launched in 2019.
The original David Attenborough documentary series took four years to make, over 1,500 people and 92 shoots across 41 countries. Then seven hours of television was edited down from 2,000 hours of footage shot on every continent – including drone footage inside a volcano.
The award-winning series took viewers on journey that not only celebrated the beauty of life on each of the seven continents, but also highlighted the many challenges faced by nature in a modern world. It was BBC One’s most-watched factual TV show of 2019, revealing an unseen wilderness of Earth's diverse continents and highlighting some of the major threats facing the world today.
Sir David Attenborough said of the original project that "at last nations are coming together and recognising that we all live on the same planet." BBC Earth Experience hopes to continue this message, creating a truly transformative experience that will allow audiences of every age to feel like they’ve stepped into the natural world, losing themselves in boundless wonder as they travel to far flung places, no passport required!

This new attraction, which spans 1608m2, offers a majestic 360-degree audio visual journey allowing visitors to marvel and explore iconic landscapes and connect with mesmerising animals on this epic adventure bringing environments to life.
From fireflies putting on a spectacular light show in North America, to snub nosed monkeys huddling together to stay warm in Asia, and hungry hamsters fighting to keep their food in Europe, visitors will get to experience our seven continents in all their glory, like never before.
Mat Way, Global Director, Live Entertainment, Gaming & Interactive, BBC Studios said: “We are delighted to partner with Moon Eye Productions and Live Nation to bring the BBC’s ground-breaking natural history content to this amazing live immersive London location for everyone to enjoy.”
Frederik van Alkemade, Chief Creative Officer, Moon Eye Productions said: "At Moon Eye Productions our aim is to create new experiences that leave guests ‘moon-eyed’ in wonder. Utilising the best natural history series in the world, courtesy of BBC Studios, we knew we could create our first immersive event to achieve our goal.
