 Welcome back to the Slice, your weekly guide to what's on in London. We like to challenge ourselves. This week, we're taking on a criminal mastermind, dining in pitch darkness and venturing into a colourful soundscape. All in a weekend's work… The Slice's Pick Mind of Moriarty Find your inner Sherlock in this dastardly new immersive escape room (Picture: Mind of Moriarty) Those who watched BBC Sherlock will remember the devious Moriarty, the diabolical (and devilishly handsome – Hot Priest from Fleabag, anybody?) criminal mastermind intent on destroying Holmes. At this immersive escape room experience, he's back – well, sort of. You've been roped in as a recruit of Mycroft (Sherlock's big brother AKA The British Government) to take down an evil AI that's somehow had Moriarty's twisted mind uploaded into it. Yikes. Rock up to Shepherd's Bush's nondescript West12 shopping centre and ring the bell for your 'eye appointment' at Doyle's Opticians (wink wink) to be inducted into a daring mission to take down the dastardly mainframe. On a whistle-stop tour through the series' most iconic sets and moments (including 221B's living room), you'll have to solve each room through quick thinking, laser dodging and good old-fashioned detective work. You have one hour – time to go to your mind palace… Tickets from £40, W12 Shopping Centre, Shepherd's Bush. Food & Drink Dans le Noir A uniquely sensory dining experience (Picture: Dans le Noir) Dining in the dark might sound gimmicky, but as soon as you enter Dans Le Noir you realise there's nothing else quite like it out there – no wonder the restaurant has remained eternally popular. And when they say 'dark', they mean pitch black. Upon arriving, you're guided into the Farringdon dining room by a staff member who is themselves blind or partially sighted. Once seated, senses shift: noise becomes louder, smells stronger, and bizarrely, taste less clear. I){kind=link}
