Rowans Tenpin Bowl

Retro bowling in Finsbury Park

On Stroud Green Road in Finsbury Park, Rowans has the feel of a classic American alley: 24 lanes over two floors, licensed bars, 13 pool tables and amusement arcades. Its Christmas and New Year timetable for Dec 2026 shows most days running from 10:30 to 00:30, with the venue shut on 25 and 26 Dec.

There are a few house rules worth knowing. Bowling is booked online for groups of one to 24 people, or up to 18 on Friday and Saturday evenings from 18:00, and an admission fee is paid on arrival on top of the bowling price. At weekends extra bowlers cannot be added at the last minute, and birthday cakes may not be brought in. Children's parties combine bowling with dancing to music and synced lighting, and karaoke parties and adult parties for 25 or more are taken by request.
