Our Story

Before AniEXP, we began as a social meetup group in 2021 known as AniManJapan. The aim was to provide a place for anime, manga and fans of Japanese culture to unite and share their passion in relaxed and wholesome environment. We would visit exhibitions and use venues to host our numerous events from manga to arcade nights!

 Fast forward a few years, we're now ready to evolve into an establishment we can truly call our own. One that can host its own events, open and close whenever they want and serve food and drinks that customers will love and expect.

At AniEXP, our philosophy is to spread the increasing love of anime throughout London (and someday - the world), through community, fun, vibrancy and uniqueness. We want to create a place like no other, that is inclusive to all and encourages people to make new friends, learn new things and feel at home in the name of anime. We also want to boost this with our high quality food and drink as well as our super friendly staff and ethos.
