★★★★★Featured review by VIC

Went with the family, we had such a fun time! đŸŽŗ Great music, friendly staff, and awesome atmosphere. Perfect spot for a fun day out in London! 👌

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with teenagers or older children celebrating a birthday or special occasion where the atmosphere and entertainment are as important as the bowling itself. The live DJ, karaoke, and darts make this distinctly different from a standard bowling venue. Evening visits when the DJ is active give the best experience.

“Bit a little gem in the centre of Bloomsbury! Really good atmosphere with a mix of modern and old school tunes, the alleys have a nice retro feel and the games were really smooth not technical issues. Good price which is per lane not per game with plenty of food and drinks options Would highly recommend!”

“Great place for bowling and late night drinks + some games like darts or karaoke. ÂŖ20 for 2 for a game of bowling or rent the lane for an hour for ÂŖ65 a bit expensive but with a live dj good fun.”

“Been here many times now and it's a great little gem. Bar staff are friendly and often very quick. The receptionist is also incredibly helpful. On the pricey side but always good fun.”

Overview

Bloomsbury Lanes is a basement venue combining retro bowling lanes with live DJ music, karaoke booths, and darts. Lane rental runs per hour rather than per game. Pizza is a reviewers' favourite, and the beer selection is broad for a venue of this size. The atmosphere builds into the evening when the DJ is in full swing. Party facilities and group bookings are available.
