What is F1 Arcade?
F1 Arcade is a competitive racing simulator venue set in the heart of London near St Paul’s Cathedral. It combines full-motion F1 simulators — the kind used by professional drivers for training — with a social bar and food setting. You race, you compete, and you eat and drink around it. It’s the most technically accurate motorsport experience available to the public in the city.
What to expect
🏎️
Full-motion simulators
Each pod replicates the physical forces of an F1 car — G-forces, acceleration and braking all transmitted through the seat. These aren’t arcade cabinets; they’re the real thing.
🏆
Competitive race formats
Structured races against friends or other groups, with leaderboards and session-based competition. The social format makes it work for groups who’ve never raced before just as well as petrolheads.
🍸
Bar and dining
Cocktail bar and food available throughout your session. You don’t have to race the whole time — it’s designed as a social venue around the simulators.
