“Dark Secrets: The Esoteric Exhibition” is a vast, immersive event dedicated to the occult, folklore, and the supernatural. Spanning more than 1,200 square metres and 27 themed rooms, it showcases over 1,000 authentic artefacts – many never before seen by the public.
Visitors can explore rare ritual objects, cursed dolls, voodoo fetishes, and items linked to figures like Aleister Crowley, alongside infamous historic works such as the “Malleus Maleficarum” and “The Devil's Bible”. The exhibition blends scholarly research with theatrical presentation, examining both the myths and realities of esotericism, magic, and secret societies. Highlights include shrunken heads, a Tibetan skull cup, vampire-hunting kits, and even Jimi Hendrix's jacket, each revealing how superstition, fear, and fascination shape culture.
Hosted in The Vaults beneath Waterloo Station, the venue's shadowy tunnels provide the perfect setting for this journey into hidden worlds. The show runs until 31 May 2026, with tickets available here.
