Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of experience gifts does Indytute offer?

The short answer: things we actually want to do ourselves.
The longer answer spans food and drink experiences, creative workshops, alternative walking tours, stays and escapes, boutique cinema, wellness and activity, and a frankly unreasonable number of things involving cheese. Cheese, cheese, cheese. All are London-first, with a growing collection in Brighton, Margate, and beyond the M25. Browse by category using the menu above, or start here and see what catches your eye.

How does Indytute curate its experiences?

We handpick everything ourselves — and we’re not a marketplace, so we don’t list what we’re offered. We look for originality first. If it feels like something you’d find on five other sites, it doesn’t make the cut. Many experiences are tried personally by our team. The common thread is that they’re mostly run by independent creators and small businesses: a historian, a beekeeper, a guitarist, a cheesemaker, a mosaic artist, a perfumier. People who genuinely love what they do. Booking with Indytute London puts money directly into their pockets, not a corporate.

What are the popular picks on Indytute London?

Our bestsellers tend to be the ones that are genuinely unusual but immediately make sense the moment you hear them. Cheese Afternoon Tea on a Double-Decker Barg (141 reviews) remains the all-time favourite — cheese boards, Prosecco, canal views, from £69. Japanese Afternoon Tea at Sanctum Soho (76 reviews) is a close second, from £69. Origami for Two (20 reviews) consistently surprises people who expect to find it paper-thin in substance (ha ha) — they never do. See Most Popular collection here.

What are your most unusual experience gifts?

Medieval Wine Tour with historian Dr Matthew Green is a walking tour through the City of London exploring how wine shaped medieval society — completely gripping, from £59. The Immersive Medieval Supper Club is a candlelit banquet in Smithfield with actors, historians and dishes rebuilt from 14th-century manuscripts. Just to prove that we’re not stuck in the past or obsessed with Richard II, we have Wim Hof Method Experience: a four hour immersion in breathwork and ice baths. Some people describe it as genuinely life-changing...in a good way.
Come to the Cabaret is a devilish evening for grown-ups certain to entertain you.

Can I exchange an experience gift if it’s not right?
