Gaming cafes in the United Kingdom

11 gaming cafes, PC lounges and esports centers in 5 cities, 168 gaming PCs counted.

Eleven venues in the UK, 168 gaming PCs counted across the nine that publish a number — the list has grown well beyond London: Coventry, Manchester, Leeds and Liverpool all have rooms of their own.

The newest is also the fastest and the cheapest. The Warwick Esports Centre, on the University of Warwick campus outside Coventry, runs 24 machines with 400Hz monitors at £4 an hour, and unlike most university arenas it states plainly that no connection to the university is needed.

London holds six of the eleven and splits between PC floors and bars with machines. Outside it, Pixel Bar runs three gaming bars — Manchester, Leeds and Liverpool — each with console and PC booths and a bar, and The Gaming Suite near Liverpool lists twelve PCs on RTX 2060 cards.

Seven of the eleven run past midnight on at least some nights, none around the clock. Six publish an hourly rate: £4 at Warwick, £4.50 at the Pixel Bar rooms in Manchester and Leeds, and £8 at the three London rooms that charge by the hour.
