London: airport lanes, West End bars and duckpin in the City

London's 32 alleys split two ways. The big lane counts sit on the edges of the city, at Airport Bowl by Heathrow, Tenpin Acton and Hollywood Bowl Tolworth, while central London is mostly bars with a handful of lanes, from All Star Lanes to Roxy Ball Room's duckpin floors.

Rowans on Stroud Green Road spreads 24 lanes over two floors, and Hollywood Bowl added a 2025 centre at The Chimes in Uxbridge with duckpin and karaoke pods beside the ten-pin.

Bars, hotels and short lanes

All Star Lanes runs four venues, from the original four lanes in Holborn to 14 lanes on Westfield Stratford's second floor. Vintners Lanes sits in a historic yard by Davy's Wine Vaults, and The Croc at the Ham Yard Hotel is a 1950s alley imported from Texas, booked as an events space.

For duckpin, with smaller balls and shorter lanes, there are Roxy Ball Room at Old Street, St Mary Axe and Holborn, Urban Fun in Kingston, and three lanes inside a Chessington soft play centre.
