Coping with coronavirus: Platform on running an esports venue in lockdown
Platform, a gaming and esports bar and restaurant in London, should be celebrating its one-year birthday around about now.

As part of our ongoing series, Coping with coronavirus, the trio offered insight into how they’ve approached life in quarantine with a business that depends on its physical space.
