Pinball republic -Croydon - Well worth a visit

[cmrl9]

During my visit to London I paid Pinball Republic in Croydon a visit.

It was great to visit a venue where the machines are clean and well maintained. Most machines where running (only one or two off) and all the machines where in great playing condition.

It made a pleasant change to be able to enjoy playing machines without the normal problems found, with them being dirty or toys/mechs not working, flippers weak. This was NOT the case at Pinball Repbulic.

Any one thinking of going I would highly recommend, even the wife enjoyed it and she's not a pinball fan

Went a couple of times, on my own, with the wife, with my brother and nephew, who both loved it.

Decided I really want a Medieval Madness, not much hope of that.

I see you have the obligatory ‘small child playing a pinball machine’ shot

What do you mean 'boring pictures' - that's the legend himself 'Big Dave Fowler' in the background of one of them!

Yes thanks, nice to put a face to the name. We had a short chat about your old LOTR, which is now in my hands. Almost finished the restore just the ramps to sort some time later in the year.

I stand corrected
