Namco Funscape County Hall (formerly Namco Station) was a family entertainment center located in London, England, UK within the County Hall complex.
History
The venue opened in August 1997.[1] and was the sister venue to the nearby Namco Wonderpark in Soho. It was one of the largest FECs in the United Kingdom, situated over three floors containing a bowling alley, an arcade, a bar, a restaurant, an American-style Pool Hall, a Shooting Gallery, and a Dodgems track.[2]
After the closure of Funland in 2011, Namco Station became the largest FEC in the country.
The venue closed on 12 August 2021 to allow for the planned redevelopment at County Hall.[3]
