10 Game & Entertainment Centers in London That You Shouldn't Miss

August 3, 2021 Matilde Konrad

The crown jewels, Buckingham Palace, Camden Market…in London, history collides with art, fashion, food, and good British ale. A perfect day is different for everyone: culture aficionados shouldn't miss the Tate Modern and the Royal Opera House. If you love fashion, Oxford Street has shopping galore. For foodies, cream tea at Harrod’s or crispy fish from a proper chippy offers classic London flavor. Music and book buffs will love seeing Abbey Road and the Sherlock Holmes Museum (at 221B Baker Street, of course).

A great night out. We did the 90 minutes taster. Had great training and was fun to shoot the arrows. Would have liked to shoot a bit more. Was fun and it was something new. Place is a little hard to get to. Would recommend it is fairly expensive

Whistle Punks Urban Axe Throwing

You'll be slinging axes side by side against your friends or colleagues, hitting bullseyes and cheering on your mates. All backed up with great music and atmosphere and a chance to socialise between throws. Our experienced throwing coaches will get your throwing like a pro in no time. Then once you've got the hang of it we'll take you and your group through a tournament until the king or queen of axes is crowned. Check out our covid safety info: https://whistlepunks.com/covid-safety/

Reviewed By Longdog71

Highly recommend group activity within a quirky location. Strangely therapeutic and almost immediately addictive once you master the basics. Eight throwing lanes split into four separate areas accommodating up to ten people each make for an ideal set-up. Excellent tuition and guidance from our ‘axe wrangler’ Ali who has an excellent memory for names and the ability to keep the energy levels to the max as the competition heats up. Enjoy!

Of the Escape Rooms I've done it was one of the best. Also, this was the first one that I've done with just two people (I took my son and it was his first escape room) but we managed to escape ... allbeit with 4 minutes to spare! It was not easy but the clues were well written and all was definitely not what it seemed. We had a lot of fun and the staff were great too.

I had such a great time - Chaz (game master) and Abs (host) were great and did such an amazing job introducing us to escape rooms. There were 2 of us doing the Prison Break room - which was a great room, super challenging - and Chaz was great with the hints and encouragement. I cannot wait to come back and try another room! The venue itself was easy to find, very well presented and clean. There were lockers in which we could secure our belongings and keep them safe. All in all I would highly recommend this escape room!

Had a brilliant experience at this gaming bar. The staff were super friendly, especially Lem who was super enthusiastic and talked us through the COVID-19 procedures and all the games available to us. The pizzas are delicious with great drinks too including the Parma violet and gin shot of the day! Only other comment is that the games available were quite limited. Would love to see more variety of games including Tekken and NBA Live.

I bought the tickets for my niece for her Xmas present (aged 11), we took her friend, and myself and my wife (in our 40’s & 50’s) we all really enjoyed it, it was great fun, and would recommend for all ages. We will definitely be back, for more drumming fun.
