About this space

Take over all of New Meta for your event. Exclusive hire gives you the entire venue — the ground-floor console and social area, the 5v5 Battle Arena, the main gaming floor of [30+] competition-spec PCs, sim racing rigs, private duo rooms and soundproof streaming booths — as one private, fully-hosted space on Upper Street, Islington.

It's a genuine turnkey production venue, not a blank room. Everything is built in: high-spec gaming across PC, console and sim, big-screen displays, live-streaming and broadcast capability, dedicated fibre internet, a licensed bar and our in-house event and technical team. That means no juggling suppliers — we handle the tech, the format and the production, and build the day around your brief.
Perfect for corporate away days and company takeovers, product launches and brand activations, esports tournaments, press and creator days, large team socials, Christmas and summer parties, and filming. Add catering, bar packages, security, filming and dedicated event management as required. Available for half-days, full-days and evenings.

Capacity: up to 200 standing / 120 seated · 42 gaming stations across the venue ·
Best for: full-company events, product launches, activations, tournaments, exclusive parties, filming.
