“Oh, come on, the Virgin Media Gamepad? Please, I can describe my experience in two words: "Absolutely perfect!" Seriously, it literally was as if I died and went to Heaven, especially with me growing wings and becoming an angel, and with the Gigabit broadband (or Gig1 as it's named) the technology there is powered by, that is something the other broadband providers (e.g. Sky, EE, Vodafone, etc.) can't, especially making a facility like that in a world-famous place like the O2 Arena. 10/10 would recommend, friendly staff, great games, etc.”

“Went to this place for the Zenless Zone Zero Angel of Delusion collab and honestly I had so much fun! I spent hours there! All the staff there were so cool and friendly to chat with, instructed and helped us to complete the ZZZ puzzle event to win prizes (and they were really generous with the ZZZ merch prizes and gifts). Big thanks to the staffs - Minnie, Luana, Mosfirat and Joe. Give them a higher raise :D”
