PC EsportsValorant Ladder Night
Weekly 5v5 ladder on the main stage.
Nova Arena Empire is a calm, spotless gaming venue on Hanway Street. RTX battle stations, console pods, and VR bays — kept immaculate, open ten in the morning until eleven at night.

We opened Nova Arena Empire in 2021 to give London players a bright, unhurried place to compete. Every station is wiped down and reset between bookings, seating is ergonomic, and staff are on the floor to help — whether you have played for years or are picking up a controller for the first time.

Forty PC battle stations run RTX 4080 graphics on 240Hz displays, backed by a 10 Gbps fibre line and sub-5ms local latency. No stutter, no queues for the good rig — every seat is the good seat.

Sound-dampened pods, adjustable lighting, and a quiet lounge with barista coffee mean you can focus during a ranked run or unwind between matches. Under-18s are welcome until 8pm with a supervised zone.

Both work. Walk-ins are welcome whenever seats are free, but weekends and evenings fill up fast, so we recommend booking a station online or by phone. Booked seats are held for fifteen minutes past your start time.
PC battle stations start at £6 per hour, console pods at £5 per hour, and VR bays at £12 per 30 minutes. Four-hour PC passes are £20, and members get 15% off every booking. All prices include peripherals.
Yes. Players under 18 are welcome daily until 8pm in our supervised zone, and all games in that area are rated PEGI 16 or below. Anyone under 13 should be accompanied by an adult.

Absolutely. You are welcome to plug in your own keyboard, mouse or controller, and you can log into your own game accounts — every station is wiped after each session, so your logins are never stored.
