Sony has put aside an unspecified number of PS4 consoles to purchase at its official London launch event later this week.

Customers who've yet to place a PS4 pre-order will have the opportunity to pick up the system at the PS4 Lounge located at 17 Bedford Street, Covent Garden.

Queuing for the launch event will start on Thursday morning, with consoles allocated on a first come, first served basis from midnight.

Tinie Tempah will be performing at the event, while those queuing will be offered food and drinks from event partners Domino's and Red Bull.

Sony Computer Entertainment UK and Ireland MD Fergal Gara said: "Day one PS4 pre-orders sold out in record time and this could be the last chance for anyone who wants to get their hands on a console before Christmas."

GAME CEO Martyn Gibbs added: "The excitement and anticipation for the PS4 launch is absolutely massive. The PS4 launch is going to surpass anything PlayStation has done before - our pre-order numbers are around four times higher than the PS3 and we're seeing those numbers grow every day."

PS4 launched in North America on November 15 ahead of this week's European and Latin American PS4 release date of November 29. Sony has detailed a range of European PS4 launch events.
