1 / 3Tenpin Croydon
๐ Croydon, Greater London
Indoor bowling centre with lanes for all ages, arcade games, on-site cafe, and free parking. Tuesday half-price sessions are popular with families. Bar service has drawn repeated negative feedback from recent visitors.
Tuesday half price bowling is a god send ๐ฅฐ kiss and adults all have fun. Takes approx an hour for one game so you can time your plans for the evening ๐ staff are always very helpful if a bowling ball gets stuck. Arcades are a nice distraction if you have the time and money for it, great selection of games. This time the Photo Booth want working which was a shame as the kids wanted a memory keepsake from our evening out with friends. Location is great as lots of food places nearby and ample parking. Go early for parking if you want to park close by.
๐ Family Action Verdict
Best for families focused on bowling, particularly on Tuesday discount sessions when the value is strongest. Children of all ages can participate with staff support. The bowling experience and arcade games hold up well; parents wanting bar service alongside their game should be prepared for a variable experience.

โI recently visited Timpinn Croydon and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience, mainly due to the bartenderโs attitude and service. From the moment we approached the bar, the bartender seemed uninterested and irritated. There was no greeting, no eye contact, and it felt like we were an inconvenience rather than paying customers. When we asked a simple question about the drinks menu, the response was short and dismissive, as if we should have already known the answer. The service was also incredibly slow, even though the bar wasnโt particularly busy at the time. Other customers who arrived after us were served first, and there was no acknowledgment or apology for the wait. When our drinks finally arrived, they were carelessly prepared and didnโt taste right. Overall, the lack of basic customer service and professionalism really let the place down. A friendly and attentive bartender makes a huge difference to the atmosphere, and sadly that was completely missing during our visit. I wonโt be rushing back anytime soon.โ

โI came here to have a great time with my friends but unfortunately I didnโt, the staff at the bar have bad attitude. I come tenpin every week and I show physical Id, because Iโve shown my physical ID several times , today I didnโt have my Id on me I only had a picture on my phone. This one lady that works at the bar that Iโve showed my physical id before didnโt want to serve me. She has seen my id last week but this week she wanted to pretend she doesnโt recognise me which is absolutely absurd. The picture that Iโve uploaded is with the staff member of tenpin thatโs has been completely rude and had no customer service skills, really upset that I couldnโt enjoy my time at tenpin. Now I prefer to go somewhere else.โ
