About this space

The Games Room is a Function Room in Heist Bank and a compact, games-focused private space centred on casual social entertainment and lounge-style seating.

Design: The room has an industrial-chic interior of exposed concrete and brick, a mixed-width timber floor and low, focused lighting that keeps the space intimate. The layout places a low leather sofa and small round tables against pared-back walls and shelving, creating a contained, informal environment.

Features: The space includes a PA system and speakers plus on-site Wi‑Fi and air conditioning, and it allows clients to play their own music. The room is fitted with flexible seating—a leather sofa, stools and moveable small tables—and shelving and a chilled cabinet provide a place for drinks and service items during an event.

Ideal for: Friend groups or small work teams wanting a relaxed, social evening with informal seating and casual, game-centred interaction.

What guests say: The space is supported by attentive, adaptable staff who assist with event setup and coordination. The space maintains a relaxed, vibrant atmosphere that works for daytime family use and a livelier evening bar setting.

Meeting · 25 guests · May 2026
We booked this for an all staff meeting where we wanted a private space but not your usual boring office venue - this was perfect. Hosts were really lovely, very helpful and the space was really good. A very easy walk from Paddington and very accessible for all. Was lovely to be able to have a drink in the bar afterwards too and didn't feel like we had to watch the clock at any point either. The facilities were fab - screen that we could link a laptop to and wifi had a good signal too.
There was nothing we didn't like!

This venue was amazing for my partners 30th birthday party! The communication was great and the venue prompted planning really well! They have a huge range of board games as well as the old school nintendo to play on which the guests loved doing. The standing formation I picked had lots of space in the middle to mingle but still places to sit where people played the board games. The karaoke also went down well, they’ve got great quality mics! The venue let us bring our own cake and candles as well as letting us coming a little earlier to decorate the place with balloons and buntings. So helpful with setting up the karaoke on a big projector. I even connected my laptop to the screen to do a birthday quiz! They accommodated extra stuff like beer pong aswell. Compared to a lot of places I’ve seen in London, this was also very reasonably priced by letting me choose an option for just venue hire and letting guests buy their own drinks and food! Really friendly service aswell by the bar staff and events team. Close to several stations (Paddington and Edgware Road) an if people need to use the night tube, it’s about a 15/20m walk to Lancaster Gate (on central line)
Nothing! Fantastic place to hold a lively party and lots of guests said they’d book this place for their own events! Highly recommend

30th Birthday Party · 30 guests · January 2026
Perfect venue to host surprise 30th birthday party. Tyler especially stood out, he was so friendly and helpful.
I had to ask for the tables to be wiped before the party as they were a bit sticky. And the games on the shelf weren’t organised, very messy on shelf had to ask for this to be sorted beforehand too.
