All Star Lanes Stratford

Fourteen lanes above Westfield's shops

Of the four All Star Lanes sites in London, the one on the second floor of Westfield Stratford City has the most lanes, 14 in all. Being inside the shopping centre means bowling can be fitted between shops and restaurants without stepping outdoors, and that lane count makes it the group's best fit for big parties and office outings.

The retro styling found across the brand continues here, and the extras suit groups: private karaoke booths, a run of classic arcade games and large screens for live sport. The later nights come at the end of the week, with Thursday, Friday and Saturday running to midnight. Neither a price list nor an age policy is printed on the Stratford page, so read the booking terms before bringing under-18s in the evening.
