First pictures from Namco Funscape, Romford after refurb

Works inside Namco Funscape in The Brewery were officially completed yesterday (July 12), introducing new bumper cars, arcade machines and much more to the venue. 

According to the company, the new bumper cars are made of recyclable materials and are more energy efficient than others (Image: Namco The Brewery) The Bandai Namco Group, best known for the PAC-MAN and Tekken video games, confirmed in April that hours at the Romford centre would be cut to just Friday to Sunday to allow for the works to go ahead. 

Regular hours have now been resumed and customers are welcomed to see the new changes for themselves. 

New arcade games are just one of the additions to the venue following the refurb (Image: Namco The Brewery) According to Namco, the bumper cars have been made from recyclable materials and are likely to be "the stars of the attraction". 

The entrance to the venue has been revamped, now featuring a large exterior screen. 

The refurbishment works were previously expected to be completed by mid-July (Image: Namco The Brewery) Namco Romford's party room and bar has had a makeover, and a new reception and prize desk fitted.
