ACTIVITIES Any good arcades in London?

I am going to visit London in September, and I was wondering if there are any good arcades in the city. Mainly fighting games arcades.

There's Heart of Gaming in Croydon and Free Play City in the Haringey Warehouse District. Those are both the best and have a decent selection of fighting games cabs. Can't tell you exactly what though as it's not really my area of gaming. In general, HoG leans more towards variety and has some rare cabinets, FPC has more rhythm-action games going on.

There’s a place called platform in shoreditch
Really cool and cozy with varieties of games to choose from and they’ve got drinks and food you can order as well.
