The Expedition
Every player who walks through our doors on Rivington Street follows the same charted route — from first assessment to ranked climb.
A 45-minute session where a coach reviews your recent matches, benchmarks your mechanics and maps your current rank against clear, measurable goals.
We build a personalised training plan across the titles you play — aim drills, VOD review schedules and a weekly practice cadence that fits around your life.
Practice on tournament-grade rigs with 360Hz monitors, low-latency peripherals and a coach on the bench to correct habits in real time.
Enter our Thursday in-house ladders and monthly cash tournaments, then track your ranked progress on a dashboard you keep for good.
What We Offer
Three ways to level up — whether you are grinding solo queue, running a team, or hosting an event that needs a proper broadcast.
60–90 min sessions
Sit beside a rank-verified coach for Valorant, League of Legends, CS2 or Rocket League. Live gameplay review, positioning drills and a written action plan after every session.
Rolling, cancel anytime
Unlimited access to our 32-station arena, 10am–11pm daily. Includes two ladder nights a week, priority booking and a locker for your own peripherals.
Half or full-day
We produce your event end to end — brackets, casters, multi-camera stream and an overlay package. Ideal for studios, brands and university societies across London.
A Look Inside
Two floors of competitive space, tucked behind an unassuming Shoreditch shopfront.

“Went from Gold 2 to Diamond 1 in Valorant over eight coaching sessions. My coach spotted crosshair-placement habits I never would have caught on my own. Worth every pound.”

“We ran our university esports final here and the production was broadcast-quality. Casters, observers, a clean overlay — our stream doubled its usual viewership.”

“The arena membership pays for itself. 360Hz rigs, zero commute headaches, and the Thursday ladder nights are genuinely the highlight of my week.”

Good to Know
Everything you might want to check before your first visit to Rivington Street.
Our core titles are Valorant, League of Legends, Counter-Strike 2 and Rocket League. Every coach is rank-verified in their game — most sit in the top 1% of their respective ladders. If you play something else, get in touch and we will try to match you.
Not at all. We coach complete beginners through to aspiring semi-pros. Your first session includes an assessment so the coach can pitch everything at the right level for you.
The arena is open every day from 10am to 11pm, including weekends and most bank holidays. Members get priority booking, and walk-in stations are usually available outside of ladder nights.
Absolutely — most competitive players do. Members get a personal locker, and every station has hot-swappable peripherals with tool-free cable routing so you can be set up in under a minute.
For full production events we recommend at least three weeks so we can lock in casters and build a custom overlay. Smaller in-house brackets can often be arranged within a week, subject to arena availability.
Get In Touch
Book a session, ask about membership or enquire about producing your event. We usually reply within one working day.
