Went from hard-stuck Gold to Platinum in six weeks of coaching. The VOD reviews are brutal in the best way — worth every penny.

Why players keep coming back
Not a cafe with PCs. A clubhouse for people who play to win.
We started in a single room above a bookshop with four machines and a kettle. Seven years later we run 24 calibrated battlestations, two VR bays and a soundproofed streaming studio — still on the same Bloomsbury street, still run by the people who built it.

How we got here
Seven years on the same Bloomsbury street.
No franchise, no investor playbook — just a slow build from a kettle and four PCs to one of London’s most-booked lounges.
- 2018
Four machines above the bookshop
We opened with four self-built rigs in a single room on Lamb’s Conduit Street, charging £3 an hour and running our first 8-player cup the week we got the keys.
- 2020
The coaching academy
When everyone was stuck indoors we moved coaching online, then brought it back as a flagship. Our first cohort pushed 14 players from Silver to Diamond in a season.
- 2022
VR bays and the main stage
We knocked through to the unit next door, added two VR bays and built the casted tournament stage that now packs the room every Friday.
- 2025
The streaming studio
Our soundproofed booth opened in spring, giving members a proper place to go live. Three resident streamers now broadcast from EpicSpinProtocol every week.
From the roster
What members say after a night here.
Real reviews from regulars who book the room week in, week out.
Best Friday night in central London. The casted finals had the whole room shouting and the bar tab made it feel like a proper event.

I rent a battlestation every Tuesday to grind ranked. Zero input lag, clean accounts, and the staff actually know the games.

Islington · January 2025
Booked the VR bay for my son’s birthday — four kids, two hours, total chaos in a good way. The team handled everything.

Holborn · December 2024
The streaming studio got my channel looking pro overnight. Having a producer on call for the first session was a game changer.
Olu A.
Camden · November 2024
We run our work team’s FC25 league here every month. Couch co-op, decent food next door, easy walk from Russell Square. Sorted.
