Full Venue Hire at F1 Arcade, St Pauls, London.

The only official Formula 1 competitive socialising experience in the world, occupying 17,000 sq ft near St Paul’s Cathedral with 69 full-motion racing simulators, sweeping Cathedral views, and capacity for 600–650 standing. F1 Arcade isn’t a generic go-kart track — it’s the licensed F1 brand translated into a premium event venue where everyone races simultaneously on official Grand Prix circuits, competition is tracked live, and the setting matches the brand’s global positioning. For event planners, the practical appeal is activity at scale. Unlike most competitive socialising venues where capacity limits mean groups take turns, F1 Arcade’s 69 simulators mean large corporate teams can race at the same time. That changes the event dynamic entirely — shared experience rather than spectating, genuine competition rather than polite participation.

The Briefing Room — Private Events at F1 Arcade

The venue’s only fully private space. A bright, colourful lounge with panoramic St Paul’s Cathedral views, an exclusive champagne bar, and private use of eight racing simulators. Accommodates 20–65 seated (up to 100 for standing events) with full AV including an 85-inch presentation screen. Game modes include free play (back-to-back racing) and tournament mode (teams competing in rounds with a crowned winner). The Briefing Room is purpose-built for corporate events — brand activations, team building, client entertainment, meetings with a competitive edge, and large social gatherings where the F1 connection adds prestige. In-house catering draws on a menu inspired by global flavours, and the private bar operates independently from the main venue.

Semi-Private Racing Areas

P1 (20–60 guests, 8 simulators) and P2 (20–60 guests, 7 simulators) sit alongside The Briefing Room and can be combined with it for events up to 220 standing. Both offer semi-private positioning with views of St Paul’s, access to the venue’s dramatic 40-foot feature bar, and varied seating options. P4 is the largest racing area — 30–100 guests with access to 15 simulators — operating semi-privately in the venue’s high-energy centre. The Balcony offers mezzanine views for 30–60 guests overlooking the full venue. These spaces work on minimum spends and can be combined to scale events from intimate groups to large corporate takeovers.

Full Venue Hire

Complete exclusive access to all 69 simulators, the 40-foot bar, all event spaces, and the Cathedral views. Full venue hire suits large-scale corporate parties, product launches, awards events, and celebrations where the F1 branding and competitive racing create an experience that conventional venues cannot replicate.
