SEGAWorld London Sonic Statue Found and Restored

Monday, August 21st, 2023

SEGA’s legacy franchise channel SEGA Forever have revealed that they have managed to find and restore the original Sonic the Hedgehog statue that stood in the SEGAWorld venue in the Trocadero in central London.

The statue was rescued and stored by the company Proun. A user on SEGA Forever’s Discord called Ted Haydon made SEGA aware of the statue’s current location which started the process of bringing the statue back to SEGA to be restored. The restoration was completed by the company 13 Finger FX.

The SEGAWorld Sonic statue is now going on tour and will be on the show flow at this year’s Gamescom from the 23rd to the 27th of August 2023 at SEGA’s booth.

London Trocadero to Close This Month

Friday, February 14th, 2014

The London Trocadero which is home to one of the most popular arcade gaming spots in the UK, is closing its doors for good on February 25th.

Previously the home of SEGA World and later Fun Land, the venue has housed one of the biggest arcades in London and an important landmark for those who are interested in arcade gaming and don’t live near a seaside town.

The Heart of Gaming in North Acton obtained a selection of its arcade cabinets from the Trocadero last year which was telling of the degradation of the Trocadero which had slowly been shrinking in scale since its Fun Land days.

It’s sad to see London’s premier arcade go, but it certainly wasn’t in the best shape in recent years. RIP London Trocadero; we knew thee well.
