If you live in London, you're in a for a cool Monster Hunter experience. Starting on July 1st the Lazarides Gallery is being transformed into a real life Monster Hunter Gathering Hall. In fact, three floors of space are set aside, enough for a few hundred people to fit comfortably. Speaking of comfy, you won't just have to stand there. There's nice chairs to lounge in, free sodas, some awesome art, and a overall cool place to hang out and play Monster Hunter Ad-Hoc. 

Doors will be open from 10am to 8pm, 7 days a week, and from 10am to 10pm on Thursdays. I wasn't kidding about the location being called The Gathering Hall either, and really, there's no better name for it. Just like the Gathering Hall in Monster Hunter, this is the place to come recruit hunters for quests, and join in quests. Just no talking cats, at least as far as I know... 

The Gathering Hall will be open to everyone who wants to experience Monster Hunter at its best (4 player co-op!), and to meet fellow fans. Admission is only allowed with a PSP - so don't forget your console and a copy of Monster Hunter!

Remember to swing by when it opens on July 1st, and it'll be open all the way until September 1st.
