Who we are
A gaming home built in the heart of Shoreditch
Since 2019 we have run East London’s busiest gaming floor from a converted warehouse two minutes from Old Street station. Our engineers rebuild every rig each quarter, our staff are all ranked players, and our café keeps the espresso and energy drinks flowing until 2am.
Whether you are grinding ranked ladders, hosting a birthday LAN, or streaming to your community, MetaArenaCastle gives you tournament-grade hardware, 10Gbps fibre and a crowd that actually cares about the game.
