UK fans of retro gaming will undoubtedly be familiar with Play Expo – the events, held by Replay Events around the UK, are a heady mixture of classic arcade, console and computer gaming, with modern games, pinball, shopping opportunities, special guests and more added for good measure. While the events are a popular destination for players, they’ve typically been located more conveniently for those in the north – only 2016’s Margate event stands out against Blackpool, Manchester and Glasgow.

But that’s about to change, as Play Expo London has been announced for 11-12 August 2018. The first Play Expo to be held in the capital will be at Printworks, a venue located in the Surrey Quays area of the Docklands. The show will offer up all the fun normally associated with Play Expo, but in a slightly more convenient location for those of us in the south. Adult day tickets are £20 and child day tickets £14, with discounts for family and full weekend bookings.
