The dedicated gaming space will be open seven days a week and provides Virign Media O2 customers and other members of the public free access to games and consoles.
Gamepad was built “with gamers in mind,” has been designed step-free and can be adapted to meet sensory needs.
Iain is clearly passionate about the concept and explained: “I just love gaming, I genuinely do! But also, there’s a few things about gaming – it can be very expensive. When I was a kid, I didn’t have all the consoles, all of that stuff, I had to go to a friend’s house.”

“It gives people [a chance at playing] who might not have [a chance]. You can get access to all the equipment [streamers] would use and there’s a streaming room.”
“The streaming room they’ve got in there impressed me, it’s better than mine! And mine isn’t bad, I’ve spent a lot of time on this!”

“It’s a great place for people who like gaming. Also as a parent, I know it’s nice to find something that can fill your day when you’ve got little ones. Also, more importantly, if you can find something that they love and you love, it’s a nice bonding [experience]!”
Iain Stirling recently teamed up with Virgin Media O2 to launch the Virgin Media Gamepad – a brand new, free to use space for gamers to play without limits – at The O2 in London. For more information, please visit: https://tinyurl.com/3h27c9f5
