We went to celebrate my husbands birthday and between the 4 of us we had 2 simulators to share - however after a few minutes one of these had issues but the team were quick in getting this resolved, we had a short wait before we were moved to a different set of simulators with a direct view of St Paul’s. We could all of easily stayed a lot longer, and really enjoyed the experience - we’ll definitely be coming back!! Thank you Vincenzo, you & Josh were great!!

A really really cool looking place, maybe even the best looking bar I’ve ever been too. The prices are really high tho, but that is something everyone should expect from a place that has F1 in its name. We came there a bit after 21:00, and they didn’t have food anymore unfortunately.

Booked as a surprise for my wife's birthday. We're both F1 fans and this was a great night. Nice staff, great bar and food and drink selection. We had the chicken burger and it was amazing. Racing was great fun, easy instruction and a great laugh. We highly recommend and we'll be back next time we come to London!

F1 Arcade in London offers an amazing experience for Formula 1 fans and anyone looking for thrilling entertainment. The sleek, modern atmosphere and high-quality simulators truly bring the speed and excitement of Formula 1 racing to life. You can race solo or with friends, and the simulators provide a realistic and immersive driving experience. They also have a great selection of food and drinks to complement the experience. However, it’s worth noting that it can be a bit pricey, so it might not be a casual outing for everyone. Still, for a memorable and adrenaline-filled day in London, it’s a fantastic spot to check out!

This was my first time at F1 Arcade, and I didn't even know it was a thing until my cousin took me. What an experience. The place was a lot bigger than it looked from outside. It was nicely laid out, very spacious, and had a tone of cars to race in. It took a while for me to get used to the racing, but it was so much fun. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, we didn't have to wait for service. They had a good selection of drinks, and the menu was good, although we just had nibbles, but we will try something bigger from the menu next time. It wasn't overly busy when we went during the evening but can imagine weekends are busy, so maybe book ahead if possible. Will definitely be going back with my partner and friends as they are very competitive, so it should be fun to watch them battle it out!!
