Our story
Five seasons of building UK talent.
We started as a Thursday-night scrim group in a Farringdon basement and grew into one of London’s busiest competitive gaming rooms. Here is how the Realm came together.
- 2020
The basement scrims
Twelve players, six second-hand PCs, and a shared spreadsheet of ranked goals. Our first amateur roster placed top 8 in a regional online cup within four months.
- 2021
Exmouth Market opens
We fitted out our 58 Exmouth Market space with 24 tournament-grade stations, low-latency fibre, and a soundproofed shoutcasting booth for live broadcasts.
- 2022
The Relic Circuit launches
Our monthly in-house league — the Relic Circuit — kicked off with 64 competitors. It now feeds three semi-pro rosters and a rotating coaching bench.
- 2024
National recognition
Two academy players signed to Tier-2 organisations, and our Clerkenwell LAN finals sold out 300 seats across a single weekend.
- 2026
The Realm today
Over 400 active members, a dedicated analyst team, and a youth academy running after-school ranked clinics every weekday from 16:00.

Good to know
Frequently asked questions.
Everything about visiting, membership, and how the Realm runs.
No. Every station is fitted with a tournament-spec PC, a 240Hz monitor, and your choice of pro peripherals. You are welcome to bring your own keyboard, mouse, or headset — most competitive members do, and we provide sanitised storage lockers for them.
Our main rosters compete in tactical FPS and MOBA titles, but every station runs the full launcher library. The Relic Circuit currently fields seasons across three titles, and we add new brackets whenever a game reaches 16 committed players.
Absolutely. Our Rookie tier and weekday academy clinics are built for players learning the fundamentals. Coaches group newcomers by rank so you always practise with people at your level, and your first trial session is free.
Use the contact form below or call us on +44 20 7278 4567. Trials run daily between 10:00 and 21:00, last 90 minutes, and include a station, a coach walkthrough, and a tour of the arena. No membership is required to try.
We are at 58 Exmouth Market in Clerkenwell, a five-minute walk from Farringdon and Angel stations. The nearest cycle hire dock is on Rosebery Avenue, and Exmouth Market itself is pedestrianised most of the day.
