London Trocadero will close for good on February 25

[revs]

Most of the arcades that were worth anything have probably been sold off now hence why all the ones left are crap or broken. They are apparently for sale too though lol.

Went in there last year and all that was in there were crappy cheap shops selling tourist tat and that one cosplay shop that drew in the anime nerds who like to wear pikachu hats.

Is the cinemas still there?

literally some dead indoor market with dem shops ud see down your local high st

 

mobile phone covers.. luggage etc...fucking heartbreaking and dusty

[Lieutenant]

Yeah troc is a mess these days tbh

[Drift]

looked around a few months ago, surprised to see so much dust in central

[The Infamous]

always wondered how them dead market shops stay open 

[dub]

because they are cash businesses

[Don Crack]

yea place has been dead for a few years now

[Sole]

place was dead from when they got rid of the Pepsi max drop.

[kerser]

That oblivion rebore

/

Used to enjoy troc would go regularly yr 8/9/10 days

/

Man r sayin they still go now leave it

[Vertigo]

Went to the Cineworld in there recently and I'll echo the general, feeling the place is ultra dusty some of the shops that have setup in there.

The state of the arcade machines left is disgraceful.

[Mizchif]

Had to watch your back them times there. Gang warfare, place was always tense.

 

My favourite memory is going there with some Klepto girl who was upset coz I wouldn't let her steal a hat from Claires Accessories.

[time_bomb]

Favourite memory was going in that alien thing, when the soldier guy told us to get down i found a load of cash on the floor, was a great day in my childhood.

 

Who remembers that sweet shop, was expensive and my mum would never buy me nothing from there.

[Ephren Taylor]

Glad i checked this topic before heading down there for nostalgia before it closes..

 

Will just have to remember the good ol days

 

Anyone remember them bumper cars where you drive over plastic balls, then you could shoot them at the other cars?

[Incumbent]

not surprised it's closing tbh

 

went there just before christmas, it was a painful sight if you used to roll there in the good days

 

i couldn't believe such a place existed in such prime location

 

like they were loads of those here today gone tomorrow type shops selling bullshit

 

proper dead out

 

keep the good memories & never venture there, really sad 

[james00]

Any one know whats gonna replace it? 

 

Tescos? macdonalds? Amazon? bank?

[Incumbent]

probably all the above in some shape or form plus more

[The Somalian]

Swear the op already said hotel

[Kuffir]

echo the good and bad of segazone

[dub]

Man I miss arcades, even Sega Park in Wood Green used to be decent (obvs it didn't touch Sega World). I remember going to a birthday party when I was younger when they rented out the place and closed it to the public. Free-to-play on arcades was the coolest thing ever.

 

Gonna find a MAME emulator and try relive the days.

[local]

Arcades will be back soon when virtual reality properly drops n the equipment costs grands

I'm planning on owning a few so don't worry lads I'll let u in on the cheap

[kurious]

Nokia Face Off days. One of my most vivid memories is going there one Saturday eve with the girls. we sighted this group of boys scoping

 

 then i clocked one like 'aye u look familiar ' he said 'yh i swear ur that chick that got shifted with me'

trocs was always bringing the most unlikely of people back together

Member when the south dans asked if they could search my pockets telling me that "iam a long way from north west"
