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.
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 […]
Dog
Aldgate E1 and City EC3
The board is in the conservatory, which sounds a bit posh, but isn’t – and the space had a recent re-fit so in 2025 is a very lovely place to while away some time. The Dog lost its truck in recent years, and is now part of the Feeneys Irish Bars stable, so drink the […]
Kings Arms
Vauxhall SW8 & Kennington SE11
Large, old-fashioned, non-descript boozer – which if I lived nearby I would be very happy to know about as: 1. It seemed super-friendly on my 2026; 2. It seems to have some sort of amazing garden with lots of TVs in it. The dart board is central and fairly prominent, so good luck getting a […]
Green Man
Angel N1
A pub with lots of pool and a dart board tucked into the corner – at least it looks liked it was still there when I peeked through the window in 2025 with a hire bike in tow that I couldn’t leave outside to absolutely double check. The pub is rough around the edges, and […]
Artful Dodger
Aldgate E1 and City EC3
A locals pub with league teams far away from the feel of the City. No reports of a pocket or two being picked here, and there’s certainly no food, glorious food. It is a surprise that so far no developer has stepped forward who will buy it. I’d do anything for more pubs like this, […]
Boot
King’s Cross and Holborn WC1
Always welcoming old-fashioned locals boozer just a few minutes away from Kings Cross. The oche is on the right hand side of the bar, and is a little tight for anyone who throws from the right of centre. Like a few other central London pubs in 2024, the staff report a big upsurge in usage […]
Traders Inn
Edgware Road NW1 NW8 W1H
Proper boozer with a dedicated darts area to the right of the bar, and, in 2026, a Monday night darts team. Always loud and friendly when I’ve visited, and you are likely to leave with new friends, regardless of whether you want them. Not everyone’s cup of tea, but an ideal if unlikely spot for […]
Sea Horse
City EC2 EC4
Small, and perfectly formed – one of the capital’s smaller darts venues, which continues to be well used and maintain a confusing charm. Although space is tight, someone here cares about darts and it’s a lovely place to throw. In 2025 there was talk of new competitions at this venue. Of course, like many of […]
Pride of Pimlico
Victoria and Pimlico SW1
The board sits at the rear right of the pub in a dedicated space, making this a surprisingly good place to throw – I imagine. That’s because I never have. It’s a proper old school locals pub, which usually feels a little charmless (although the bar person was very friendly on my 2025 visit). It […]
Nolans
Vauxhall SW8 & Kennington SE11
With three boards, multiple teams on most evenings, regular competitions, and an outstanding collection of darts trophies, this boozer is right up there as one of the best darts pubs in London. It’s a proper place, run by the Nolan family (and there’s even a copy of my book somewhere on the premises!). But, it […]
