Step into Lightroom, King's Cross's vast digital art space. Watch floor-to-ceiling projections and synchronized sound transform every surface of the room into immersive, story-driven shows like the David Bowie retrospective.
Reasons to go
Full description
Lightroom is a purpose-built venue where floor-to-ceiling projections, synchronized sound and narration turn its exhibitions — such as the widely praised David Bowie: You're Not Alone — into something closer to a concert or theatrical event than a traditional gallery visit. Reviewers describe it as transportive, with the scale of the projections and quality of the audio doing much of the emotional work.
A near-97 aesthetic score and a 75 culture score reflect both its visual polish and its grounding in genuine cultural material rather than generic spectacle. It suits visitors after an evening of striking, story-driven visual art more than a hands-on interactive experience.

First class, enjoyed the David Bowie You’re Not Alone event immensely. Shown on all four walls, gigantic screens. How they managed to upscale footage from 40 years ago was amazing. Sound volume just right. Nice bar and shop. A must for any Bowie fan.
