About this space

The Upside Down is a private event space in Zombie Games Café & Bar, a basement club-style room defined by low ceilings and coloured mood lighting.

Design: Exposed brick walls, a concrete floor and a low beam-lined ceiling give the room a compact, industrial basement look. The lighting is driven by concealed LEDs and neon strips that cast deep red and magenta tones across the floorplate and seating clusters.

Features: The space provides a built-in PA system and speakers, allows own music and external DJs, and includes an open floor area suitable for dancing. The space also offers Wi‑Fi, air conditioning and loose sofas and chairs that can be rearranged to suit standing or seated layouts. The space has counter service for drinks on site.

Ideal for: Groups of friends or social collectives seeking a music-centred, informal gathering space that favours standing receptions and relaxed lounge-style evenings.

What guests say: The space presents a lively, nostalgic backdrop centred on retro gaming and 90s memorabilia. The space benefits from responsive event support from on-site staff during bookings and on the night.

30th Birthday Party · 40 guests · May 2026

Amazing venue, they set up the dance floor with break out gaming spaces which worked a treat !! A range of disco lights with colour options and easy tech to plugin your phone and hook up your own Spotify playlist. There was AC too on both floors which was a god send 🙏 Would recommend hiring out the whole place so there’s something for everyone, e.g. if people want to get away from the dance floor. Warm friendly staff (shout out Xander and the other bar staff whose names I have forgotten sorry!) they answered any qs and helped us with storing cake in their fridge and putting the smoke machine on. Such a chill, vibey atmosphere, loved it so much and everyone complimented the food and drinks were amazing value for London

Nothing! Just wish it was slightly closer to central as I’d pop by more often, but definitely worth the trip

We had a 30th birthday party here and it was honestly amazing. We hired both floors and had around 35-40 people, we were able to have our own DJ and equipment on the dance floor downstairs, and people also enjoyed the games upstairs. Paddy the host was so friendly and amazing at communicating with us from the very start of planning up until the night of the party. Food and drinks were amazing value, the staff were so friendly and honestly made the night. Our guests had an amazing time they didn’t even want to leave at the end. Honestly would recommend we will definitely come here again. Thank you all!

There was nothing to dislike!
