Gamers, Get Ready to Drool!

A hidden treasure was discovered in Central London a couple of weeks back whilst doing another round of sightseeing. Yep, believe it or not, we still have a lot of sightseeing ground to cover, even five years later and there is always something new popping up. London is really amazing in that respect as it is ever-evolving into something new and exciting. This hidden treasure was in the famous Trocadero Centre in Piccadilly Circus.

 

The Trocadero Centre is already famous for housing a massive arcade on three floors, a bowling alley, sports bar and cinema. Ripley’s Believe it or Not moved into the building recently and tourists and locals have been enjoying the Rainforest Café for years. Now Trocadero opened their doors to Gamersbase where people can sit in pure “gamers luxury” and play on their networks and their games. Gamersbase have teamed up with HMV and boy is the setup sweet.

Whether you love playing LAN games or just curious about the latest games coming out before buying them, pop down there and give it a whirl. This set up is perfect for people who want to meet more gamers or test out games without forking out a fortune for it. If you have ever played in a LAN, you will know that it is great and not to be missed.

 

 

Nokia Store in London

Exploring London can be a daunting task most of the time but you should make some time to set your inner-child free and let them explore London. There are always constant changes about in London; you might see something now that will disappear within weeks. We went exploring on Sunday and hit central London. Amazingly we managed to walk from Piccadilly Circus all the way to Oxford Street, Soho and back and we saw so much.

This is then we discovered the new Nokia store in Reagent Street, just off Piccadilly Circus. It is not too far from the Apple store, if you know where that is. The best thing about this Nokia store is that it is interactive. They have a few stalls where you can sit on a stool and explore the new phone from top to bottom, if you want.

Guess this post is not as informative as you would have liked but at least we took a few interesting photos to spice it up with! It shows you that you do not have to spend money to explore London and to have fun or at least to be entertained.

Hidden Treasures in London

Thursday, June 11th, 2009 | Weird & Strange with No Comments »


One of the top reasons why I decided to come to London was the endless amount of things I could see and experience within the M25. Today reminded me of that very reason when I found a small brick-a-brac shop on a road a rarely walk. There was antique furniture outside on the pavement and a few boxes scattered with books and small toys. One of those boxes caught my eye and I leaned closer to find a whole set of Star Wars action figures.

Excitement won’t be the correct word to use but I sure felt something when I saw them. The gentleman in the shop came outside and with a smile on his face told me that they were £6 each, which is a bargain for anything related to Star Wars. They even had 3CPO and Princess Leia and the mighty Darth Vader. Sadly I had no cash on me and I doubt they would have accepted a debit card so I took a photo instead.

 

I am seriously tempted to withdraw some money and get Darth Vader at least, definitely a collectable. With this find in mind, I urge you to scour through Charity Shops; they sometimes have amazing things hidden away for next to nothing.
