Overwatch 5v5

Our Overwatch event is moving to a regular Wednesday slot, with it potentially becoming bi-weekly depending on turnout! Don’t have a full team? No problem, we’ll be matching up players without complete teams to make sure everyone can get in on the action. We’ll be playing the regular 5v5 mode and map selection will be done via voting! - Signups are on the night from 6:30PM, with games beginning at 7PM, you can still join even if arriving later! - You may bring your own controllers/peripherals if you want - We will be using the Steam PC version of the game for ease of login - Games will run until 10PM or so, and PCs remain available afterwards - No entry fee, but you must make a purchase to take part! Winning teams will get a little soju on the house, and depending on sign up numbers we may do a small bracket to see who’s the best in the room! See you there!

More about Lea Bridge Gardens

Greater London, England

Lea Bridge Gardens sits quietly in Greater London, a place where you can find real music without needing to hunt for it. The Mill has been hosting bands and shows for years, keeping the local scene lively even when the rest of the city feels a bit slow. It is not about how big the crowd gets, but about who is playing and whether you will enjoy the evening. You might catch an open mic night or see a local artist get their first real stage time nearby. Near Here keeps all these bits of culture in one spot so you do not have to waste time scrolling through endless lists. Just grab your coat and head down there for a proper night out without the fuss.
