About Upside Down House Lakeside
The Lakeside Upside Down House marks our second inverted attraction in the UK. Easily accessible from London and surrounding Essex counties.
This very stylish red wine coloured house is located in the External Amphitheatre, within the main car park to the Lakeside Shopping Centre. A high end interior design allows for some very classy photo opportunities for families of all ages.
The modern stylish interior design has been carefully selected by the experienced Interior Design Team of IKEA. Visitors now have the exclusive opportunity to shop while they visit the Lakeside Upside Down House. All items and furnishings have been installed with a QR code for the convenience of visitors to purchase a beautiful bed or gorgeous armchair directly and instantly at the house by using their smartphone. It is the first of its kind!
The elegant design is based in the External Amphitheatre, Car Park 3 opposite House of Fraser.
Attention: Please read rules and information display prior to entering. Motion sickness may apply due to the house being at a slant.

Discover an upside down world.
Experience an upside down house in Bournemouth where everything is the wrong way around. Take amazing photos to share with your friends and family and post them on social media.
Take a photo and flip it upside down!
The Upside Down House is a house that is literally upside down! We offer visitors the opportunity to capture many memorable and surreal photos and videos that they can flip upside down which they share on their socials and messaging platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and WhatsApp. It is an experience to share in real time with friends and family. Equally enjoyed by kids or grown-ups!
A unique upside down photo experience.
Each location is unique, with its own identity. We ensure this is reflected in the houses people visit, by designing and decorating it differently – mixing the old with the new. This allows friends and families to have a fun, enjoyable experience as part of their day out.
