BattleKart, an experience that combines a physical driving experience with dynamic AR projection mapping, has announced the launch of BattleKart London St Albans.
The new centre will open to the public on Friday 29 November. The life-size video game console experience can be found close to London and just 25 minutes from Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter.
BattleKart London St Albans will be open seven days a week. It offers an Exhibition Park with a 1600 square metre track that can accommodate up to 12 karts. A raised lounge area provides audiences with a view of the games being played. The venue also offers free WiFi and a snack bar featuring local produce.
Franchise success
BattleKart was founded by Sébastien Millecam. Since 2015, it has welcomed more than one million players and is now available at over 30 franchise locations in Europe, the Middle East, and Australia.
The London St Albans location is operated by Yoann Michel and Ozan Ozturk. Michel is an experienced BattleKart franchisee and has launched three successful locations in France, including a venue in Paris, and recently expanded to the UAE.
BattleKart Dubai launched in June 2024 and is one of the most advanced BattleKart locations to date. This location features Panasonic VMZ projectors that create vibrant visuals across the 2,300 sqm playground and walls, in addition to a modern lounge bar with panoramic views and full air conditioning.
The company’s collaboration with Panasonic was recognised in the Integrated Systems Europe 2024 awards where they were honoured in the AV Project of the Year category.
Recently, BattleKart announced the worldwide launch of its new BattleColor game mode. The environment and atmosphere now have a Disco theme, and the track has become a massive dance floor where players light up as many squares as possible to win the game.
