Hey Pinsiders,
I'll be going to Europe for the first time pretty soon, so I'm wondering since I will be in London and Paris, where are the best places to play??

I wouldn't waste my time in Europe trying to play pinball unless there was something that is on route over there that you can't find over here. Enjoy the things Europe has to offer that you can't enjoy in the states, pinball will be waiting for you back here when u return. That said if I was walking by a place and saw a pin inside I would give it a play or two if I had time.
Villejuif
A place to visit in Paris is the Paris Pinball Museum. You must make an appointment well in advance with its owner, Raphael Lankar, as this is more a private collection open to true lovers than a real Museum.
EM only, though, from bagatelles from the 30's to a few pins from the 70's. Some legendary EMs are there (Balls-A-Poppin is one: 9-ball multi ball... in 1956).

London
I was in Las Vegas in Soho a couple of weeks back and they had Metallica, LOTR and SM, all having seen much better days. The only other place I've found with multiple machines is the Pipeline bar. Been a couple of months since I was there but they had 6 machines (they change) and they are always kept in good nick.

No kidding, take a break, you'll appreciate the down time, especially there.

Couldn't said it better myself!
OP: Forget about pinball! You're on vacation and in Europe!
