Katzenjammers
London Bridge and Borough SE1
* REPORTED TO HAVE CLOSED IN 2025 * Five dart board in a row in a cavernous German beer hall in the middle of London. Well, well. Darts launched here in the second half of 2024, and has proved rather popular – so much so that to play at weekends and on Friday evenings, you […]
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 […]
The Gladstone Arms
London Bridge and Borough SE1
A fantastic pub where darts is a low priority, but that shouldn’t stop you going there. The function room upstairs has a (fairly tatty on 2024 visit) board, but there are many better reasons to visit the Glad.
Spots & Stripes
Waterloo SE1
This is, and always has been, a pool hall with darts, and a very welcome one at that. The interest in darts seems to vary year on year, but in 2025 darts seems important once again, and the six boards are regularly fully booked in the early evening. If you are new to the venue, […]
Temple Brewhouse
Covent Garden and WC2
Two ‘smart’ boards are tucked away on the right once you get to the bottom of the stairs.This is probably my favourite of the dartatainment venues, but the sciency-stuff means that you can’t use your own darts, so it is only really in this guide because: i. The old version of this pub had a […]
Black Horse
Aldgate E1 and City EC3
It’s hard to tell is this is a pub or a bar, but, frankly, who gives a toss as it has three dart boards upstairs, although one is a little awkward and surround-less – probably used as a practice board when teams play here.
Rileys Victoria
Victoria and Pimlico SW1
Four well looked after dart boards on the ground floor and another in the more dingy downstairs make Rileys one of the very best places in central London to throw some darts. Having launched London’s first darts lanes here in 2010, the early 2020s saw Rileys toying with interactive darts – but on my 2025 […]
Libertine
London Bridge and Borough SE1
This remains my all round favourite central London pub with a dart board (as opposed to a pub which is primarily about darts). The board is on a dedicated raised oche in the corner, and it is used a lot, including by a bunch of locals who ensure a new board arrives on a regular […]
