Stranger Things is returning to screens next week for its third season and a slew of collaborative releases from the likes of Nike, Levi’s and more already has viewers gearing up for the release. London-based fans however can have the opportunity to get even closer to the show and even access the mythical world of The Upside Down.
Coca-Cola is opening an exclusive arcade, styled after the town of Hakwins in the year 1985 which is the year Stranger Things 3 is set in and coincidentally, the same year New Coke launched in the U.S. Located in Shoreditch, East London, the space is home to authentic, playable ’80s video games. Additionally, there’s a secret Upside Down room within the location and if you’re one of the first 800 people lucky enough to find it, you can get your hands on a limited-edition Coca-Cola x Stranger Things can. The free pop-up is open for one day only – July 11 – from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
