    Ok so some of you may know I travel all over the UK for work, I spend a lot of time in London. Seeing the inside of a hotel room can be very very boring and there is only so much drinking a man can do.

    So tonight I decide to go for a walk and I stumbled upon Great Maelborough Street the home of Sony's London HQ.

    I took a few snaps to send to mate

    Looks like you can go in as well, they have display/kiosk with a huge screen, sadly I was to late!

    After a few more snaps I noticed something on the fist floor (now it's time for where's Waldo or Wally, if you are British), what do you see?

    The picture you took is the QA test room where a selected number of gamers are ocassionaly invited to try out games during the developement process. We can also see interesting items such as PSP devkits and other playstation items, one net yaroze and another PS1 console that looks modified (seems like there's a switch or something).

    There are more interesting areas of London to visit ;)

    Oh so close it's a PS2 Tool, the thing was huge I had never seen one in real life, not that I could really see it.

    So here's the question, what else have they got in there?
