About VR Playground Hub
The story behind the UK's most immersive virtual reality club — our mission, our team, and our passion for VR.
Our Story
VR Playground Hub was founded in 2019 by a group of technology enthusiasts and gaming veterans who believed that virtual reality should be accessible to everyone — not just those who could afford expensive home setups.
Starting with a single 800 sq ft venue in London's Soho district, we quickly grew to become one of the UK's most-loved VR entertainment destinations. Today, we operate three flagship venues across London, Manchester, and Birmingham, welcoming over 10,000 players every year.
Our mission is simple: to create unforgettable experiences that push the boundaries of what's possible, while keeping things fun, safe, and welcoming for everyone — from first-timers to seasoned VR veterans.
