Your fave FRIENDS are coming to London, baby!
If you’re still watching FRIENDS on repeat all these years later – the show is soon to celebrate its 30th anniversary – you’ll soon be able to step inside the series as The FRIENDS Experience: The One in London is opening at the ExCel Centre this summer. Oh. My. God.
As well as lots of behind-the-scenes insights, the experience will feature full-scale sets, backdrops, props, costumes and memorabilia – basically there’ll be a photo op around every corner. You’ll be able to open Monica and Rachel’s purple door, recline in Joey and Chandler’s Lay-Z-Boys, PIVOT with Ross’s sofa, kick back at Central Perk, and lounge on the orange sofa. There’ll also be a FRIENDS station, inspired by the subway stations of the Big Apple, where you can tuck into themed food and drink, and of course, there’ll be a section dedicated to the London episodes, “The One with Ross’ Wedding Parts 1 & 2”, in series four. Once you’ve checked out Joey’s 3D map, you can step inside the semi-demolished church for the famous wedding scene.
If you couldn’t be any more excited for this to open, you can sign up for priority access to tickets, which go on sale on pre-sale on 17th June and general sale on 18th June.
Opens August 2024
ExCel London, Royal Victoria Docks, 1 Western Gateway, London E16 1XL
