Sega Park Wood Green was an indoor Sega Park arcade located at 88-96 High Road (Unit 7), Wood Green, London.
Very little is known about this venue, and its known opening and closing dates are unknown. The retail unit Sega Park was housed in was formerly home to one of the first Toys "R" Us stores in the country. The store closed in 1995, so it is likely that Sega Park moved in around 1995 or later. It was still trading by 2000, as it was listed on Leisure Exchange's website.
The venue closed around 2000 or 2001, with the unit being sold by Leisure Exchange to SFI, a pub management company, and the unit reopened as part of the company's "Litten Tree" pubs (later named "Wood Green Tavern") in 2001. However, after various anti-social behaviour and crime issues (with at least one confirmed stabbing),[1] the venue was put up for sale and closed in May 2003.
After a long period of the retail unit being empty, refurbishment work took place in 2010 with the building's adjacent unit to create a Lidl Supermarket, which opened in 2011 and has since accompanied the building.
