Just to report back on pinball outside of The Pipeline in London that I explored into.
There's an amusements on Wardour Street called Las Vegas, had 2 pins, LOTR and Metallica, both £1 for 1 game or £2 for 3 games. LOTR played surprisingly well and had a few games on it, didn't notice anything not working right and got some good scores on it and a couple of extra games too. Noticed Martin Ayub was the grand champ on it.
The Metallica looked in nice shape but didn't really play very well, it's not a table I've played before and it must have been the normal table as it was quite bare of toys. Firstly I got my first played ball stuck behind the target behind the captive balls so had to get someone to get it removed, the bloke who freed it gave me a free game. Secondly the table was not level at all and had quite a sloping left to right playfield which was very annoying. Finally and most annoying, it's a music themed table that had the volume turned wayyyyyyyy down.
I then went to the Superdry department store on a Regent Street where there was supposedly 2 pins on free play. I found them there (Fish Tales and Gilligans) but both were switched off.
Finally I went to an amusements on Tottenham Court road, no pins found on the upper level. There looked to be a lower level but it was roped off and the jobsworth staffing there gave me a filthy look when I peered down.
So overall a bit of a waste unless you like LOTR which I do thankfully.
I don't know MK so I can't comment!
