Description: London Trocadero is a large centre that houses a cinema, bowling, sports bar, shops, arcades, casino, restaurants, Ripley's believe it or not, laser quest and much more. There is so much to do here that you could easily spend a day out here however it would be an extremely expensive day out as all of the attractions here are very costly.
I generally go to Trocadero to play in the arcades and to go shopping in some of the alternative shops such as Tokyo Toys (which sell lots of anime merchandise). There are two types of arcade here, one for tokens and one for money. The tokens are quite easy to get and you can trade them for some very good prizes such as perfume.
The cinema here is quite big and show a lot of the new films. The Amazon restaurant is quite overpriced but the shop is really fun as they play rain forest sounds into the shop and the décor is reflective of the theme. the website lists all of the shops and attractions that are available here.
Another great reason for going here is that it is close by to both China town and the West end so you can go out afterwards to enjoy an exciting night life!
The only problem with Trocadero is the amount of children and teenagers that come here after school as they can get very excitable and loud so it is best to go there before 3pm.
The easiest way to get there is to travel by tube to Picadilly Circus and then following the signs to Trocadero. Opening hours are Monday- Sunday 9 am till 5pm. It is free to get in to Trocadero but all attractions come with a charge.
A good day out as long as you have a fair amount of spending money.
