Leisure operator Gravity set for London debut

Set within a former Debenhams department store unit, the 80,000sq ft venue will feature various competitive socialising activities as well as an F&B offering.

Spread across four floors, it will include gaming experiences such as e-karting, augmented reality bowling, crazy golf, pool, ping-pong, and shuffleboards. 

It will also offer an array of dining and drinking options including a noodle kitchen, American diner, and cocktail bar.

The Southside JV (a joint venture between Landsec and Invesco Real Estate) and Gravity are investing £4m to redevelop the site as part of a combined strategy to reimagine the destination and incorporate new and innovative concepts.

“This is a huge milestone for Gravity as we look to not just grow our business, but also the types of venues we are creating,” says Harvey Jenkinson, Gravity co-founder and CEO.

“We believe concepts like this will be the future of the high street and shopping centres, offering a solution for landlords who are looking to diversify and secure the future of their assets.

“This exciting entertainment hub will showcase Gravity’s ability to create venues that cater to a varied audience, which is so immersive they will feel like they could be in a completely different place in the world.”
