Funicular Express provide immersive dining theatrical adventures to hungry diners and theatre lovers.
They have three shows and two of them I and a selection of community members of Love Pop Ups London we have had the pleasure in attending these shows:
Journey to the Underground
As summer nights draw to a close and the black velvet skies wash over the capital, Pedley Street Station welcomes you to witness the greatest love story never told where fantasy, fear, danger, lust, hope and love await in the world of the Dark one.
As passengers embark on their journey to the Underworld, they will be treated to their last meal aboard a luxury train fit for the Prince of Darkness himself.
Guests will join Claude, the shackled conductor, and his lowly assistant Gordy, on a quest for absolution, redemption and eternal love that will take them all the way to the Underworld. Along the way, guests will do their best to outwit the seductive Gatekeeper, the hunched Harbinger, and the damnable Dark One, all the while praying that this isn’t a one-way ticket.
All aboard for this immersive dining and theatre experience.

“I didn’t know what to expect when i arrived but the building had a train station appearance. We assembled at the bar, perusing the cocktail menu. I decided on the loco motive which was excellent. The actors mingled amongst us interacting with us in character. We boarded the train and was greeted by the conductor. The table was nicely decorated and i loved the embossed good quality napkins as it gave it a real steam engine dining experience. We started off with the mulligatawny soup served with a cucumber canape, a perfect 1920s starter. The main course of les olive de boeuf was tender and perfectly cooked served with a beef stuffed savoy cabbage. The deconstructed apple crumble was lovely and finished off with a brandy snap. The actual show was entertaining and they included the audience which was a nice touch. I won’t ruin the ending by telling you the killer thats for you to find out. I would recommend this for anyone looking for a new experience to enjoy food.”

“Murdér in France seemed like the perfect location for a getaway from the big smoke and with the newly launched luxury train service running direct from Pedley Street Station in East London I decided a weekend away was just what the doctor ordered. Oh how wrong I was…”

“I love the idea of dinner and food obviously, but the stories have been too complex and complicated. I love a good mystery, but I’m out to have a fun night out as well, not do intense investigative work. Thankfully, this experience was exactly the perfect balance of things, and was actually a lot of fun.”

“The food may be delicious but the company can be a little dodgy, especially when there’s a murder to be solved on The Murder Express.”

“Fearing for our souls it was up to us to help Claude reunite with his love an take on the Dark Lord. With moments of darkness and screams from within the carriage the question we all had on our minds was what have we done?”

“I really enjoyed this menu but the stand out dish for me was the starter of black garlic gnocchi – which worked so well with that truffle sauce overall the night was fab and something I have never done before. You still have a chance to experience journey to the underworld until 10th November.”
