The Gaming Den

We run a pop-up retro night for gamers in London. It’s called The Gaming Den. Here’s a snippet of the first one:

Featuring a retro room filled with your favourite consoles as well as recent releases, The Gaming Den lets you show off your skills on all those classic games that you wish you’d never packed away or sold. We have a bar and food, run by the excellent people behind Madd.

If you want to bring your own games and play them against challengers or friends, please do. We can’t take any responsibility for them, so please look after your own stuff.
