Citadel Highlights
A minute inside a Friday LAN night — plus what regulars say after their first climb.
I went from Gold to Diamond in one bootcamp cohort. The VOD reviews alone were worth the price — Priya caught habits I’d had for years.
March 2024
Best 40Gbps I’ve ever felt. Booked the squad studio for our org tryouts and the stream rig just worked out of the box.
January 2024
Friday LAN nights are the reason I stopped playing solo queue at home. Proper crowd, proper stakes, warm brownies at the bar.

Questions, Answered
Everything you need before you walk through the door on Rivington Street.
No. Every station ships with a 240Hz monitor, mechanical keyboard, low-latency mouse and headset, all sanitised between sessions. You’re welcome to bring your own peripherals — every seat has front-facing USB and a spare mousepad.
Cohorts are grouped by rank, from hard-stuck Silver to aspiring Radiant. We assess your current rank and recent match history when you book, then place you with players within one tier of your own so scrims stay competitive.
Absolutely. Roughly forty of the 128 seats are held for walk-ins each Friday, first come first served from 19:00. To guarantee a seat or register a full five-stack, book online by Thursday evening.
We’re at 54B Rivington Street, a two-minute walk from Shoreditch High Street station. The area is pay-and-display and fills quickly on weekends, so we recommend the Overground or a short walk from Old Street.
Yes. The soundproofed Squad Studio and the main floor can both be hired privately for tryouts, launch parties and creator shoots. Email us with your date and headcount and we’ll put together a room plan.
