About this space

The Squad bay is a semi-private gaming lounge inside Platform Shoreditch that centres on booth-style social gaming.

Design: An industrial interior finished in dark tones and exposed structure. Coloured LED accents and pendant lighting produce low, focused illumination and an energetic, tech-forward look.

Features: The space includes dedicated Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5 consoles paired with large freestanding screens and controllers mounted in semi-private booths. The layout provides modular bench seating, low cocktail tables and flexible floor area for both seated and standing play. The room also has Wi‑Fi, air conditioning, a PA system and natural light, plus step‑free access, accessible toilets, own-music permission and the option to bring a DJ.

Ideal for: Small groups and teams seeking a relaxed, social and competitive console-based gaming session in a semi-private setting.

What guests say: The semi-private booths provide a relaxed, competitive atmosphere and attentive, helpful staff service during visits.
