1 / 3Shipley's Amusements
📍 Croydon, Greater London
An indoor arcade in Croydon with modern gaming machines and staff on hand to assist. Costs can accumulate quickly and refreshment availability is sparse compared to larger amusement venues.
Nice new place and machines, friendly staff offering drinks and snacks. Always have a good time.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with older children who enjoy arcade gaming and want modern, well-maintained machines with attentive staff. Set a spending limit before entering as costs escalate quickly. Not suited to families expecting food, drink, or large-scale entertainment — this is a compact arcade focused on gaming.

“No refreshments offered like in other venues plus many machines reserved for a "ghost" customers. It wasn't even busy-4 of us trying to scrap a quid or two.”
