How to Choose Activity bars for private hire in London

What is an activity bar?

An activity bar is a bar built around a game or experience, such as clay shooting simulators, golf bays, karaoke rooms, cricket nets or VR. Guests play, eat, and drink in one venue, making activity bars one of the most popular choices for team socials, birthdays, and office Christmas parties in London. The activity gives everyone something to do and talk about, so groups mix more easily than at a standard bar. Most activity bars in London offer private hire, with set packages that combine game time, food and drinks.

Where are the best activity bars in London?

Most of London’s activity bars are in the West End and the City, close to offices and transport links. Soho has the biggest cluster, with clay shooting, golf and karaoke venues within a few streets of each other. Covent Garden and Leicester Square offer games bars and cricket nets, ideal for after-work groups. In the City, golf bays near Liverpool Street and Bishopsgate are popular for corporate teams and client events. Choosing a venue near your office makes it easier for guests to arrive on time.
