All Star Lanes Holborn
Where All Star Lanes started
Victoria House on Bloomsbury Place holds the site where All Star Lanes began. It has stayed small: just four lanes with retro styling, set beside a restaurant seating 90, a dimly lit cocktail bar in speakeasy style and a few classic arcade cabinets. Eating and drinking carry as much weight here as the bowling itself.
Because weekday doors do not open until mid-afternoon, from Monday to Thursday this is mainly an after-work venue, while Friday and the weekend start around lunchtime and Friday and Saturday nights run late. Four lanes fill quickly, so reserving ahead is the safer plan, above all for a party that also wants a restaurant table. Sunday finishes earliest of the week.
