London, meet your new favourite hangout spot — and no, it’s not another rooftop with overpriced olives. XP Tavern has officially landed, and it’s ready to shake up the capital’s social scene with the perfect cocktail of immersive gaming, Neapolitan pizza, futuristic interiors, and dangerously drinkable cocktails. You’ve done pubs, wine bars, coworking cafés — now it’s time to level up.
Forget everything you think you know about a gaming lounges in London. This one blends high-end tech with refined hospitality and just the right amount of LED swagger. The venue officially opened its doors on July 15, and judging by the buzz, it’s already a contender for London’s most stylish space to click, shoot, sip, and repeat.
Where High-Tech Gaming Meets Sexy Design
Most gaming lounges are happy with LED strips and a few sticky keyboards. Not XP Tavern. This place features 25 high-spec gaming PCs, with 15 of them inside a Hexagon-shaped glass arena that looks like it was beamed straight out of Cyberpunk 2077. It’s futuristic, moody, and the kind of setup that makes your home rig cry in envy.
Gaming inside the Hexagon? That’ll cost you just £8/hour. Want to go full esports pro mode? XP’s Bootcamp rooms are designed for squad scrims and cost a touch more at £9/hour. Hardcore commitment? Go all in with a Day Pass for £30 — because who really wants to leave?
Private Console Rooms for the Stylish Button-Masher
Prefer a PlayStation session over pizza and privacy? XP Tavern has 15 console rooms with PS5 Pro units, seating anywhere from 2 to 8 players. Rates are £12 per person per hour — but here’s the kicker: no group pays for more than four players, no matter how many show up. Yes, it’s basically the Netflix password sharing of the gaming world — but legal.
It’s tailor-made for birthdays, date nights, or spontaneous Mario Kart revenge battles. Pair that with a cocktail and you’ve got yourself the ultimate weekday escape.
Gaming Never Looked This Good
XP Tavern isn’t just functional — it’s straight-up gorgeous. The interiors walk the line between high-concept design and gamer fantasy, with warm lighting, sleek geometries, and sound design that won’t fry your ears. The pièce de résistance? A giant, golden joystick suspended above the bar. It’s bold, iconic, and makes your LED light strip look embarrassingly amateur.
Every element, from the seating to the acoustics, is curated for both comfort and cool. This is a space where you can bring a date, your manager, or your D&D squad — and still feel like the most stylish person in the room.
Gaming Lounge, but Make It Gourmet
Let’s talk about the food. This is not your usual nachos-and-soda gaming setup. XP Tavern’s kitchen is led by a Roman chef who takes his Neapolitan pizza seriously — like, traditional-techniques-and-fresh-mozzarella serious. Add a curated menu of Italian plates and you’ve got a meal worth ditching your Uber Eats for.
At the bar, one of London’s top-ranked mixologists is crafting cocktails that are as refined as they are fun. Whether you’re into smoky mezcal or a classic Negroni twist, the drinks are creative, balanced, and dangerously easy to order twice.
The Perfect Venue for Parties, Launches & Late-Night Mischief
XP Tavern isn’t just a lounge — it’s a venue. Available for private hire, it’s perfect for launch events, team offsites, hen dos, birthdays, or even a wedding afterparty (hey, it’s London, weirder things have happened).
You can rent part or all of the space, and they’ll tailor bespoke food and drinks packages to your occasion. Expect themed events, gaming tournaments, live music nights, and community vibes — all with that XP twist. If gaming’s not your thing, you can kick back with YouTube or Netflix on tap. They also stream major sports events and offer room bookings for anyone wanting to join in. Just dropping by for a TV session? That’s 50% off — making it even easier to hang out without grabbing a controller.
The Future of Gaming Hospitality Starts Here
XP Tavern is what happens when someone finally realises that gamers like comfort, design, and a proper cocktail as much as anyone else. It’s the upgrade the UK didn’t know it needed — inspired by Ukraine’s next-gen lounge culture and tailor-fit for London’s creative, tech-savvy crowd.
This is more than a gaming lounge in East London. It’s a whole experience — elevated, inclusive, and absolutely unforgettable.
