Attractions company Little Lion Entertainment is to build a new flagship FEC opening early next year.

The Arcade Arena will be in London and will follow the successful opening of locations in Manchester and in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Central to the venues is the Pac-Man Live Experience and Chaos Karts, both of which will be part of the London venue.

A third major new element will be added, said the company, although it is not revealing its nature at this time, said Tom Lionetti-Maguire, founder and CEO of Little Lion.

He said: “The success of this venue in both Manchester and Dubai proves that the human need for in-person interactivity and connectivity transcends borders and cultures.

"This new venue will be the first of many new location announcements over the coming months, both within the UK and abroad, as we embark on our ambitious growth plans.

“Our London Arcade Arena will be our boldest, most electrifying venue yet, bringing both of our existing games to as prominent a location as you can get in London. And just wait until you see the third game we have in store!”
