Axeperience Tower Hill: Axe Throwing in London
Axeperience at Tower Hill is an indoor axe throwing venue tucked into a basement just off the Minories, a couple of minutes from Tower Hill and Aldgate. It runs coached 60-minute sessions where an instructor talks you through technique before you move into a tournament and some trickshots, so it works whether you have never thrown an axe or just want a competitive hour with friends.
It suits groups, work socials and birthdays more than solo visits, and you book ahead rather than walking in. The single most useful thing to know: each lane takes up to eight people and a session costs around £30 each, so it is easy to plan numbers and budget before you turn up.

The axe throwing setup
You throw on lanes that hold up to eight people, with two targets at the end of each so a group can keep things moving. A coach stays with you for the full hour in a two-on-one format, starting with training so everyone lands a stick before the competitive part. The session is built around training, a tournament and trickshots, which keeps beginners and more confident throwers in the same game. It is a basement space, so it feels enclosed and focused rather than sprawling.
Good to know
Booking is required, so sort it online before you go rather than chancing a walk-in. Sessions run 60 minutes and cost around £30 per person, with the option to book a whole lane privately for roughly £240 if you want the space to yourselves. Opening hours stretch later at the weekend, with Saturday and Sunday running 11:00 to 22:00 and earlier closes midweek. Nearest stations are Tower Hill and Aldgate, both a short walk, with Tower Gateway and Fenchurch Street also close by.
