Three Crowns
Old Street and Hoxton EC1 EC2 N1
Quite how two people are expected to play a game of darts in this, London’s narrowest oche, is beyond me. But sometimes darts is best as a solo game, and maybe this slightly wanky bar is the place to play with yourself. This is one for the Luke’s.
Windmill
Waterloo SE1
An almost perfect oche in a fabulous pub in the quietest high street in London. Feels like a place to play darts with a random stranger, and ending up sharing a pizza. I could spend a lot of time here (although not at the weekends, when it’s closed).
Cock Tavern (Soho)
Soho and around W1
A board appeared here in 2025. It is close to the bar, but by a no-service section, so actually well situated. Feels like an afternoon-in-the-pub type of venue, and is a very welcome addition to the guide. The pub is stunning.
Rosy Hue
London Bridge and Borough SE1
At the back of the vast sports bar is a lonely looking board, which, in 2025, was probably in the worst condition of any board in central London. Seeing as the board has only been put up in the last year or so, this suggests that it gets some use. This place will become a […]
George
London Bridge and Borough SE1
A proper locals community pub, with an excellent darts area to the left of the bar – albeit one which appears to be in a thoroughfare for the smoking area. Lots to like here.
Tokenhouse
City EC2 EC4
The board is downstairs in its own dedicated area, making this an excellent central addition to Capital Arrows. It’s a confusing pub, which doesn’t seem to know how posh it is, and which was oddly busy at 12.15 on a Tuesday visit in 2025.
George & Dragon
Soho and around W1
The board is downstairs in the slightly musty games room. The throw is narrow, but this is therefore an excellent place for a lunchtime practice. There’s not a lot more to say about this pub, so you may be interested to know that George is the patron saint of Ethiopia, as well as England. You’re […]
Lucky Saint
Soho and around W1
So you can take darts out of the pub, and you can’t take the pub out of darts, but can you have darts in a pub which is best known for low & no alcohol? Yes, of course you can. The Lucky Saint opened in 2023 in place of the Masons Arms which never made […]
Horse and Groom
Soho and around W1
A decade after this very traditional Sam Smiths pub removed their dart board for absolutely no good reason, in 2024 someone put it back. Since then it get regular use, from regulars and tourists alike. Happy days. The board is on the right hand wall in the small bar area towards the dining space – […]
Barley Mow W1
Soho and around W1
There’s a dart board at the back left of the pub. But this doesn’t even tell part of the story as to why this is such a great place to throw darts. Firstly, this is one of the finest pubs in London, and a must for any history-pub lover. It is more than 230 years […]
Three Tuns
Aldgate E1 and City EC3
Hidden away around the corner in an upstairs bar is a very useable dart board. Like a lot of edge-of-City boozers, this pub can get very rammed after work, so being able to get on the board may be something of a challenge. But if you can get on the board, it looks like a […]
