Arcades or retro shops in London area?
I'm about to accept a job offer that will mean relocating to the London area. I'll be working in the Seven Dials area. Anyone from London Town that can point me toward any quality arcades or game shops?

Re: Arcades or retro shops in London area?
Unfortunately there's not much here anymore with regards to independent shops. For arcades there's Heart of Gaming (HoG) a short tube ride away, plus the Las Vegas arcade on Wardour St which is about a 10 minute walk from seven dials. The last time I was in there they had Espgaluda 2 up and running.
Keep an eye on the Casino thread as we still occasionally have meets.
Oh, and welcome to London.

I suppose I'm going to miss the retro markets I have here in California then. There's not a lot of dedicated arcades around though besides wall of claw machines and racing games, so some Galuda 2 would be an amazing treat to play on a proper cab.

I looked for the Las Vegas today's afternoon,but unfortunately the exact position of Las Vegas I still don't know, so hard to find it! There are so many Chinese restaurants and Casino, one of them called NO.1 UK Casino... But where is the Las Vegas?

It's half way down Wardour St, almost on the corner with Brewer St.DKA_Darius wrote:I looked for the Las Vegas today's afternoon,but unfortunately the exact position of Las Vegas I still don't know, so hard to find it!

You want the basement entrance on the left, where it says American Pool.
