About Planetarium Go
Planetarium Go is an immersive 360-degree experience that first launched in London as a pop-up event at Battersea Power Station, in the riverside neighbourhood of Battersea, in early 2026. Now running in Stratford in east London, it explores the wonders of the universe inside a large spherical dome, where astronomy and science film projections take visitors on an unforgettable immersive journey through space.
Behind these immersive experiences is Planetarium Go UK, a company dedicated to operating portable planetariums across various cities in the UK. Its mission is to bring this tool – placed at the service of scientific knowledge – to areas that lack this type of infrastructure, inspiring new generations of children to awaken their interest in science.
The company believes that scientific outreach can also be a form of entertainment – engaging, tailored to today’s communication codes, and capable of involving and capturing the interest of its audience.
The challenge
After deciding to open a company in the UK, the presence of London & Partners was key to the company's decision to choose London over other cities that were on its radar.
Arriving in the UK from Spain, Planetarium Go UK needed support to understand the opportunities a city like London could offer. Its first challenge was about landing smoothly in the city and understanding its economic and business environment.
Moving to another city is a complex and difficult process if you don’t have someone to guide you along the way. We found that support in London & Partners.José Jiménez
