“Booked a console suite for my brother’s birthday and the host had the cake table set up exactly as I asked. Six of us played Mario Kart for two hours straight — best £56 I’ve spent.”

Built by gamers, one weekend at a time
We started as a LAN party in a Shoreditch basement and grew into the neighbourhood’s favourite place to lose track of an evening. Everything here is chosen by hand — from the mechanical keyboards to the flat whites.
- 2018
A basement, six PCs and a kettle
Founders Priya and Marcus hosted weekly Counter-Strike nights for friends under a print shop on Curtain Road. Word travelled fast down the street.
- 2020
The Hoxton Square move
We took the keys to 55A Hoxton Square and rebuilt it into twelve stations, adding a small bar serving proper coffee and locally brewed sodas.
- 2022
Console suites & retro corner
Three private suites opened for couch co-op, alongside a restored cabinet corner featuring Daytona, Street Fighter II and a pristine pinball line-up.
- 2024
Coaching & league nights
Our resident coaches launched weekly ranked clinics and a friendly borough league that now runs four seasons a year across Valorant and Rocket League.

From Our Regulars
Loved by the Shoreditch crowd
“The 240Hz PC stations are genuinely better than my rig at home, and the off-peak hourly rate is a steal. I come in most Wednesday afternoons to grind ranked.”

“The retro corner sold me — a proper Daytona cabinet on freeplay with a flat white in hand. The Thursday socials are now a fixture in my week.”
