F1 Arcade, St Pauls, London.

Seventeen thousand square feet of official Formula 1 competitive socialising at One New Change, with 69 full-motion racing simulators and sweeping views of St Paul's Cathedral. F1 Arcade is the only licensed venue of its kind in the world — not generic simulator racing but the official F1 brand experience, with Grand Prix circuits, live competition tracking, and a premium setting that matches the sport's global positioning.

Racing at Scale

The fundamental advantage for event planners is simultaneous participation. Most competitive socialising venues require groups to take turns — F1 Arcade's simulator count means teams of dozens can race at the same time, creating shared experience rather than spectator downtime. Tournament modes break groups into competing teams with a winner crowned at the end, while free play offers back-to-back racing for more casual events.

Event Spaces at F1 Arcade

The Briefing Room — the venue's private events space — seats up to 55 for dinner with 8 dedicated simulators, an exclusive bar, 85-inch presentation screen, and panoramic Cathedral views. It's the venue's most sought-after space for corporate events and brand activations. Semi-private areas (P1, P2, P4, and The Balcony) scale from 20 to 100 guests each and can be combined for larger groups. Full venue hire takes 600-plus across all spaces.

More Than Simulators

The F1 branding carries weight — the venue design takes inspiration from the Grand Prix circuit's aesthetic, with premium food and cocktail offerings to match. In-house catering runs a globally inspired menu, and the 40-foot feature bar anchors the social side of events. The 1am licence and One New Change location near St Paul's add practical value for City events.
