Our arena
Built by gamers, for gamers
We opened EpicArenaPlay in 2019 in a converted warehouse just off Old Street roundabout. What started as 12 seats and a projector is now Shoreditch’s busiest esports venue, hosting league nights, birthday takeovers and studio launch events.
Every rig runs a 240Hz display, mechanical keyboard and pro-grade headset, all wired to a 10Gbps fibre line with sub-5ms latency to London game servers. Our floor staff are competitive players themselves — ask them for a loadout and they will actually help.
- 10Gbps fibre · sub-5ms London latency
- 240Hz monitors on every PC seat
- Licensed bar with energy drinks & barista coffee
- Coaching sessions with ranked players

Player reviews
Loved by the local scene
Rated 4.9 from over 600 reviews by players across East London.
“Hosted my Valorant team’s scrim night here and the setup was flawless — zero lag on the fibre and the staff sorted our comms in minutes. Best PC seats in East London.”
“Booked the tournament room for my son’s 14th and it was the easiest party I’ve ever thrown. The team ran the whole bracket for us and the kids didn’t want to leave.”
“The Elite membership pays for itself if you come twice a week. Off-peak weekday mornings are dead quiet and perfect for grinding ranked. VR bays are genuinely top spec.”
“Wandered in as a walk-in on a Friday, ended up staying till close. Great coffee, friendly crowd and a coach gave me actual tips on my aim. I’m a regular now.”
