Passenger Reviews
Rated by the roster
Based on 214 verified reviews
★★★★★Went from Gold to Diamond in one bootcamp block. The VOD reviews were brutal in the best way and the Thursday scrims are gold.
★★★★★We hosted our studio's CS2 night here for 32 players. The staff handled the whole bracket and the stream looked properly broadcast quality.
★★★★★The rigs are the fastest I've played on in London and the day pass is a steal. I come in every weekend to grind ranked before work.
★★★★☆Great coaching and atmosphere for my Rocket League duo. It gets busy on Friday nights so book ahead, but that's the only catch.
Travel Info
Before you board
Booking & access
Do I need to book a rig in advance?+
Walk-ins are welcome whenever seats are free, but Friday and Saturday nights fill fast. We recommend booking online or by phone at least a day ahead for evening slots, and any bootcamp session must be reserved in advance.
Is there an age requirement?+
Players aged 16 and over are welcome any time. Under-16s can join our weekend junior sessions and holiday camps when accompanied by an adult. Some late tournament nights are strictly 18+, and we'll flag that on the event page.
Kit & titles
Can I bring my own peripherals?+
Absolutely — every station has spare USB and 3.5mm ports for your own mouse, keyboard and headset. Our rigs also come loaded with pro peripherals if you'd rather travel light. Personal accounts stay logged out and wiped after each session.
Which games are installed?+
Valorant, CS2, League of Legends, Rocket League, Apex Legends, Overwatch 2 and Fortnite are ready on every machine. Need something specific for an event? Tell us 48 hours ahead and we'll pre-install and license it for your booking.
Events & venue hire
Can you host a private tournament?+
Yes — we run private LANs, birthdays and corporate socials for up to 40 players. Packages include a managed bracket, shoutcasting and optional catering from neighbouring Shoreditch spots. Get in touch and we'll build a run sheet within two working days.
How do I get to the arena?+
We're on Rivington Street, a five-minute walk from Old Street and Shoreditch High Street stations. Numerous buses stop on Great Eastern Street, and there's paid parking on Rivington Street after 18:30 on weekdays.
