Have you heard of Paul Spooner, Tim Hunkin or Southwold Pier?

No.

Well you have now, they’re all indi arcade machine makers who are currently showcasing their works at Novelty Automation, a new ‘homemade’, humour-based arcades room in the heart of Holborn.

You won’t find Pac-Man or Street Fighter here, experience the joys of ‘Divorce’, your own ‘Personal Nuclear Reactor’ or the power of the ‘Small Hadron Collider’ without the fear of destroying the universe in this novelty games hut.

Brain child of Tim Hunkin, lover of all things amusement based, he has created a haven for all those trying to escape Mario and his green brother.
