Had a lovely evening (another one) at The Ludoquist last night with a friend where we managed to play 5 games, a couple of beers and pizza (which was piping hot and delicious) in a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The staff are always lovely whether they are just taking your order at the counter or if you are asking for game recommendations or help with a game. I've never had a bad evening there and will certainly be returning again very soon. It's probably my favourite place to go out to nowadays and I hope to be able to make more regular trips there in the coming months, whether it's for an organised gaming evening such as the Light Wargaming that they put on or just meeting up with some friends. For me it is definitely the best place in Croydon.

Exciting Escapes

An Escape Room is an hour-long adventure with your friends, your family or perhaps your work-mates. It’s a bit like the Crystal Maze from TV, or a real-life version of an online Room Escape game. You play as a team and have to find clues, solve puzzles, and complete challenges to finish your mission in 60 minutes!

Reviewed By Tinkerbell1109 - Coulsdon, United Kingdom

This was my first visit to an escape room and it defo won't be my last. 6 of us thoroughly enjoyed the different tasks that were needed to be completed within this record shop in order to escape. There really was something for everyone and we all came out having had a great laugh and a lot of fun. We managed to escape with 2 minutes to spare!

Had my sons 11th birthday party here today. The 8 kids all said they had an amazing time. Management was excellent, cleanliness second to none.. continually wiping tables and equipment such as relief with coronavirus worries.

Kidspace Croydon

Kidspace is an indoor adventure park, described by The Metro as 'Simply put, the Rolls-Royce of play areas.' It remains a cut above the competition thanks to its enormous play frame, inclusive Go-Karts, 30ft high climbing wall, huge Toddler Village and Thunderball City. Chuck in a load more cargo nets, rope bridges, tunnels, vertical mazes, exciting slides and cannons galore and you have a recipe for hours of fun and exercise in disguise. Mum and dad can join in too or sit back with a coffee in the spacious seating areas. Kidspace has its own Pod Pizzeria restaurant offering homemade stonebaked pizzas.

I can here with my 2 children who had the most wonderful time! It was so good they both got passes to be returning. As soon as we walked in there was a very warm welcome for the receptionist team especially the brown haired girl who I’m sure was ellie. She went above and beyond to help me out.
