About Venue
Get ultra-competitive and choose between new or nostalgic experiences. You can either go all out with your gaming moves or take it easy – it's your call. No matter your vibe, our hosts will be there to keep you fueled and provide expert advice. We have 8 semi-private video game booths, each loaded with a Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5, and an E-sports stage with 10 high-performance gaming PCs. Switching between consoles is a breeze with a simple touch. Our menu offers signature cocktails, craft beer, wood-fired pizzas, a variety of soft drinks, and low-alcohol options to cater to everyone in your group. This venue is perfect for corporate events, team building days, networking functions, birthday celebrations, bachelorette and bachelor parties, or just a fun night out with your pals.
The Squad Bay is your all-in-one play-and-party hub right by the bar: four console stations (each with Nintendo Switch and PS5 loaded with fan-favourites), an esports stage with 10 high-end PCs for competitive titles, and a generous F&B area with board games for chilled-out rounds between matches. Perfect for team socials, mixed-ability groups, and mini-tournaments—grab a drink, rotate between stations, and let the scoreboard (and the snacks) do the bonding.

Such a great place. I looked all over London for a suitable games cafe and I'm so glad I found platform. The vibes were great, the staff were super friendly, super cool and super helpful. If I had one suggestion, I would love to see a wider selection of installed games on the PS5, but this didn't affect my experience and we had a blast. Would definitely recommend.

My boyfriend and I had an amazing first time experience here! There are so many games to choose from, and the whole place is incredibly fun. We also enjoyed some really nice cocktails during our visit. Tayo took great care of us, and the entire staff was so friendly and welcoming. We’d definitely love to come back!

The atmosphere was so so so nice, amazing music playlist with rnb and afrobeats and good game selection. We were served by Tayo and he was good energy and really helpful. Recommended a really good cocktail when i wasn’t sure what to get ( the gold star martini is so good🌟). Preciate you tayo 😂

i went on a first time date with somebody and the ladies working there 10th october (yesterday) around 5:30 onwards were amazing ! they made me feel so comfortable and eased my nerves while remaining professional (which they didn’t have to at all) and i’m ever so grateful for them. the customer service was really good. i’d 100% come back. the lady at the bar was really nice and funny too. i enjoyed my birthday so i just want to say thank you :) enjoyed myself so much i didn’t have time for the nintendo switch but i’ll be back !

Keith was an absolutely superb host. From the moment I arrived, he was incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive. His warm personality made the entire experience feel comfortable and relaxed. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and that I had everything I needed. I genuinely appreciated his hospitality and would highly recommend him to anyone. Thanks again, Keith!
