Is Disneyland London still happening?

This led to a significant delay to the progress of the application. On March 29, 2022, the plans were officially withdrawn, with the intention of resubmitting them in 2023. In March 2023, London Resort Company Holdings went into administration.



The project often referred to as "Disneyland London"—officially known as The London Resort—has faced significant hurdles but is technically still "in progress" with a target completion date aimed toward the late 2020s. Located on the Swanscombe Peninsula in Kent, the project has been plagued by planning delays, environmental concerns (due to the site being designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest), and financial restructuring. As of 2026, the developers have not yet broken ground on the main theme park, though they continue to release updated concept art featuring lands inspired by Paramount Pictures and the BBC. While it is not a "Disney" branded park, the scale and ambition are often compared to Disneyland Paris. For travelers visiting the UK in 2026, Alton Towers and Thorpe Park remain the primary high-intensity theme park options while the industry waits to see if The London Resort can finally secure the necessary government "Development Consent Order."
