Explore our growing first collection of independent retro game shops and dedicated arcades around the UK.
We're starting with a small, growing directory. Listings may be incomplete or change; check opening hours, prices and availability with the venue before visiting. Missing a place or spotted a mistake? Let us know ↗
The directory list works even if the map doesn't load.
Location accuracy: We aim to position markers close to public entrances. Some represent a wider building, unit or shopping centre. Please check official venue information before travelling. Report a correction ↗
Retro gaming belongs out in the world.
RetroApptive is a little project with a big soft spot for real places: the tucked-away indie games shop, the arcade you didn't know was there, and the cabinets that bring back a hundred memories.
We're starting with shops and arcades across the UK, and growing the guide one verified venue at a time.
Know a hidden gem?
Suggest an independent retro game shop or dedicated arcade we're missing. You can also report incorrect details or a closure. A venue name and town are enough to start.
We review suggestions before updating the directory. We don't publish submissions automatically.
