Welcome to the frontier
A proper gaming den, built by people who actually play
We opened Crystal Wild Frontier in 2019 in a converted Victorian warehouse two minutes from Old Street roundabout. The brief was simple: a place where a solo speedrunner, a five-stack of mates and a couple on a first date all feel at home. Low neon, loud sound system, fast machines and zero gatekeeping.
Every PC runs a wiped, ranked-ready setup with 240Hz monitors and our own peripherals. The arcade corner is stocked with cabinets we restored ourselves, and the soda bar pours small-batch sodas, cold brew and proper coffee — no membership, no pressure, just turn up.
Walk-ins welcome
No subscription required. Pay by the hour or grab a day pass — peak rates from £6/hour.

The verdict
What the locals say
Booked a five-seat pod for my mate’s stag and it was the best £150 we spent all weekend. Fast machines, no lag, and the staff sorted our scrim lobby in seconds.
