Step into the world of the global phenomenon, the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley, at the Elvis Exhibition located at London Bridge. This unique exhibition titled “Direct from Graceland: Elvis” offers fans and visitors an unparalleled experience into the life and legacy of Elvis Presley.
What is the Exhibition About?
The Elvis Exhibition is a tribute to the legendary Elvis Presley, showcasing a vast collection of treasures directly from the Graceland archives. What makes this exhibition even more special is that over half of these treasures have never been displayed in the UK before. This newly curated retrospective provides an exclusive insight into the life and world of Elvis Presley.
Visitors can expect to see over 400 artifacts, ranging from Elvis’s prized Ferrari Dino to his iconic Gold Lamé Suit. The exhibition charts Elvis’s journey from his humble beginnings to his meteoric rise to fame, offering a kaleidoscopic chronicle of the King. As you journey through the multiple gallery spaces, you’ll get to explore various facets of Elvis’s life – from the man behind the legend to the global sensation, the performer, and the movie star.
The exhibition also features towering tributes to some of Elvis’s most iconic moments, including “The 68 Special,” “Aloha From Hawaii,” and his Las Vegas performances. Fans will also get a chance to delve into his legacy and his continued influence on pop culture, including the critically acclaimed Baz Luhrmann film “Elvis” released in 2022.
Where is it Located?
The Elvis Exhibition is housed at London’s brand-new cultural destination, Arches London Bridge. The address is Arches London Bridge, 8 Bermondsey St, SE12ER.
What Does it Cost and When Does it Open?
The standard entry ticket costs £31.65 for Adults and £19.65 for children (5-15) while children under 5 go for free. There is a special “VIP: WHITE GLOVE EXPERIENCE” available. This exclusive experience is available at 10 am, 2 pm, and 6 pm daily (except for Monday 10 am as the exhibition is closed). The VIP experience includes exhibition entry, a chance to handle Elvis’s Gold International Belt and Gold Microphone used in Las Vegas in 1969, a goody bag, and a drink at the end of the exhibition. This experience is limited to 6 tickets per slot, ensuring exclusivity. The ticket costs £132.00.
Tickets for the exhibition can be purchased directly from the website below, and given the popularity and limited run, they are expected to sell out fast.
For fans of Elvis Presley and those interested in the history of rock and roll, the Elvis Exhibition at London Bridge is a must-visit. It’s not just an exhibition; it’s an immersive experience that brings Graceland to London. So, if you can’t make it to Graceland, don’t worry, Graceland is coming to you!
