When someone wants to visit the City of London, people typically
search the internet or ask friends who have been there before to know the good
places to see. Online sites usually list places like the Warner Brothers Studio, the Buckingham
Palace, the Tower of London or the
Coca-Cola London Eye as the most known areas around London.
But the capital of the United Kingdom has much more to
offer than museums, theatres, or parks. For old school gamers who want to satisfy
their gaming needs while a resident at hotels near
Bloomsbury Street London, there are two arcades for the best retro
games experience.
Namco Funscape
London
One of the most popular arcades in Central London is
the Namco Funscape. It is also the largest,
if not the most famous. The game house is located adjacent to the Westminster
Bridge and near the London Dungeon and Coca-Cola London Eye. It offers an extensive
variety of entertainments under one roof. This place not only caters the casual gamers
but also groups for corporate events.
Aside from the typical video games and simulator
machines that arcades normally have, Namco Funscape adds other amenities to add
diversity for its on-goers. One of its main attractions is the Escape Room, where six people will look
for clues and solve puzzles under thirteen minutes to be able to leave the room.
The place also set up professional ping pong tables and
full-sized American pool tables. They also furnish Bumper cars that kids of all
ages will surely love.
The Vault is another featured attraction that emulates a
scene from Mission Impossible where you avoid green lasers while trying to get
out of the place.
Las Vegas Arcade
Soho
Located in 89-91 Wardour Street in Central London, Las Vegas Arcade is an amusement arcade
near the Chinatown in Soho. The place is known for its many popular and some
rare Asian import games.
For the musically inclined or those who just want to
groove to the beat, the arcade also offers music games like Pump It Up and
Guitar Hero. Racing games such as Initial D and Dead Heat are preferred choices
for race enthusiasts. For shooting games, they offer the classics, Time Crisis
and House of the Dead to name a few.
Las Vegas Arcade Soho also offers PS4 games converted
to arcade cabinets. Versus Fighting titles like the iconic Street Fighters,
King of Fighters and Marvel Vs Capcom are the most popular. For people tired of
staring at the screen, ice hockey and snooker tables are also available.
In addition, there are a lot of destinations to stop by
in London when you are on vacation with your family. The Gower bed and breakfast
accommodation is definitely a place to stay if you want to explore
capital’s most popular destinations.
