Gfinity arena is being retired17 Dec 2022 12:42
Did anyone else notice the gfinity arenas is being shut down? I suspect cost is a massive issue due to the central London location. This is a positive move for me as a better location than Fulham Broadway in London and better access would be better.

A poignant moment here at the Gfinity PLC Studio tonight. We are about to go live with the very last show of a successful 2022 F1 Esports Series, but it is also the very last show ever from the Gfinity Studio.
Over the years, she has produced thousands of hours of esports and gaming content for the biggest brands in the world, founded player’s esports careers (ended some also!), appeared on BBC’s The Apprentice, hosted celebs including Robbie Williams, Trevor Noah, Peter Crouch & Thierry Henry, given out millions in prize money, survived the great Vue fire of 2020 and stayed operational throughout all of lock-down… but for me all of that is inconsequential as my lasting memory will always be the people that were part of the journey. Everyone, that over the years have come in, worked their socks off, together as a team, and produced some amazing broadcasts we can all be proud of. Whilst the ‘bricks-and-mortar’ of this place is getting ripped down after tonight, the memories, fun, laughter, and amazing content we all created from here will live on forever!
Lots more great shows planned by Gfinity being broadcasted from new locations in the future! But for now, opening pre-record done (second take!) and time to go out with a bang!
