While cat burglary seems a faintly elegant relic of another time, one new opening by Broadgate Circus is offering Londoners a chance to get stealthy – and pull off an art heist for one of the most valuable paintings of all time.
The Perfect Crime, which launches on June 24 at Theatre Deli on Finsbury Avenue, is a new immersive escape room experience combining theatre and puzzle solving, which puts players in the midst of a break-in.
The setting for the interactive show will be familiar to fans of the Netflix docuseries “This Is a Robbery: The World s Biggest Art Heist”, which tells the story of two men who posed as policemen to steal 13 works from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, including Rembrandt’s The Storm on the Sea of Galilee. It is still missing.

As we prepare for a brighter summer, the UK is entering a new recovery phase of the pandemic with our successful vaccination drive leading the way. The economy is being gradually unlocked as shops, outdoor hospitality and – mercifully for many – hairdressers in England join those preparing to reopen next week in line with the Government’s roadmap.
This will be an important stepping-stone towards bringing back the buzz and vibrancy of the Square Mile. I urge workers, visitors and residents to support these local City businesses and institutions as they emerge from lockdown while also complying with the remaining restrictions.

City scheme at 2 Finsbury Avenue drawn up by Danish architect 3XN
The planning consultant working on British Land’s plan to build a 37-storey in the City of London has responded to objections raised by neighbouring authority Hackney last month.
The east London council said the proposal at 2 Finsbury Avenue would blight parts of the borough including the Sun Street conservation area, a grade II listed pub and locally listed buildings at 5-15 Sun Street.
The scheme is due before City planners later this month
In its objections, Hackney said the revised scheme by 3XN – which replaces an already consented plan by Arup for a 32-storey tower – was “a significant increase in the bulk, height and scale of the proposed building” adding that it would “lead to increased visual dominance” over the buildings to the north and the area in general.
