Yeah, I have fond memories of family summer holidays and we often went to the West Country. A few of the old seaside towns like Ilfracombe, Woolacombe and Weston-Super-Mare and the arcades in those places. Ghost 'n'Goblins, Star Wars(sit down cab), Space Harrier(full hydraulic cab), Xybots(with the twisty joystick), Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Spy Hunter(sit down cab), Chase HQ and probably the one that I sunk the most money into - Gauntlet(used to play with my dad and younger brother).
Back home, there were two local towns that were nearby me that had decent arcades : Deal and Margate(both seaside towns). Deal actually had 3 arcades in the town : one in the local cinema; where I nearly managed to complete Midnight Resistance(with the rotatable joystick) - they got rid of the cab the following week; one which also housed a snooker club, and that had Afterburner, The Simpsons, Back to the Future 2, Robocop, R-Type and Aliens(based on the film) - which had the volume turned up really loud; and the final one is still functioning(sort of) on the seafront, and at one time that housed : Mercs, Final Fight, Space Invaders '90, Ivan "Ironman" Stewart's Super Off Road and Street Fighter 2(which was always the most popular game).
I suppose it was always interesting seeing if the home ports of the arcade games could some how capture the essence of the original arcade versions. They were different times.
I did visit the old Casino arcade in London a few times, but they seemed to winding down when I went in. They had a lot of shoot 'em ups in there.
I do remember playing Sega's Wing War at Gatwick airport with my brother back in the early 1990s - I doubt there's an arcade there now. I also remember playing Buck Rogers at a motorway service station in the 1980s and Return of the Jedi in Dover Hoverport in the late 1980s. Those types of places probably don't have an arcade cab there now - unless it's like Guitar Hero or those dance machines.
