Soho's co-op gaming lounge · est. 2019
Grab a controller,
find your squad, and level up together.
Forty RTX battlestations, a retro console corner, barista-made flat whites and a resident coaching crew — all under one chalkboard roof on D'Arblay Street.
Our story
From a scribbled idea to Soho's rowdiest lounge
2019
Ten PCs and a chalkboard menu
We opened above a shuttered record shop with ten hand-built rigs, one coffee machine and a wall we couldn't stop doodling on. Weekends sold out within a month.
2021
The coaching crew arrives
Three ranked coaches joined and our Tuesday academy nights were born. Members climbed divisions and our first amateur squad qualified for a regional cup.
2023
Forty stations & a LAN arena
We knocked through the back wall for a 40-seat LAN arena with a proper casting booth. Monthly tournaments now pull crews from across London.
Today
Open seven days, still doodling
The chalkboard still changes daily and every regular gets their name on it. We're a lounge first, an arena second, and a café that happens to serve headshots.

The chalkboard café
Barista flat whites, loaded fries and no-spill "one-hand" snack boxes designed for mid-match munching. All served without leaving your seat.
Rig glow-ups
Drag the slider — before & after
Our build bench refreshes stations every quarter. Slide across to see a tired corner become a tournament-ready battlestation.

Players who keep coming back
Marcus K.
Camden, London
★★★★★
"Six weeks of Tuesday coaching took me from Gold to Diamond. The VOD reviews are brutal in the best way, and the flat whites keep me sharp."
Priya R.
Shoreditch, London
★★★★★
"Booked the LAN arena for my partner's birthday — 10 of us, a proper bracket and a casting booth. The staff ran the whole thing. Unreal night."
Tom O.
Soho, London
★★★★☆
"The retro corner is my Friday ritual. Dreamcast, a milkshake and zero pressure. It genuinely feels like the arcades I grew up with."
Leila C.
Islington, London
★★★★★
"I came in never having touched a gaming PC. The staff set me up, walked me through it, and now my crew books a block every fortnight."
Daniel A.
Hackney, London
★★★★★
"Our amateur squad practises here every week. The 240Hz stations and low ping made a real difference when we qualified for the regional cup."
Sofia N.
Brixton, London
★★★★★
"Best-value gaming in central London, honestly. Off-peak £6 an hour, decent coffee and a team that actually knows their games."
