Barbican: How VR is taking clubbers back to 1989

Available for over a year

Britain, 1989. Margaret Thatcher was prime minister, and the past decade was characterised by great economic growth - and great social hardships, including strikes, racial tension and football hooliganism. For many younger people, Britain felt like a nation divided. But suddenly, a new, hedonistic youth culture swept the nation. The acid house rave scene. And now, an experience at the Barbican can take you back to those hedonistic times. BBC Radio London's Anna O'Neill has the story.
