Boom Battle Bar Wandsworth: Darts in London
Boom Battle Bar is a games bar in Wandsworth's Ram Quarter, just off the high street near Southside. The darts here are augmented reality rather than a traditional board, so you throw real darts at a real board while graphics, targets and your live score get projected over the top. It suits groups, after-work crowds and anyone who wants competition with a drink in hand rather than a quiet league night. The one thing worth knowing: a lane is £10 per person for 55 minutes, you can take up to eight people on it, and it is strictly 18+ after 7pm. Walk-ins are welcome, but booking a slot in advance is the safe move at weekends. Alongside darts you get axe throwing, American pool, shuffleboard and karaoke booths.

The darts setup
There are three dedicated darts lanes, each a private booth you take as a group. This is the augmented reality version, so the board detects exactly where every dart lands and updates the score for you, no chalk or mental arithmetic. Digital graphics, targets and animations are projected onto the board, and you pick from a stack of game modes including Classic, Killer, Shanghai, Halve It and a few invented ones like Robin Hood and Hexa-gone. A lane runs for 55 minutes and holds anywhere from one to eight players, so it works for a pair or a full team. It is throwing for fun and bragging rights, not a steel-tip league fixture.
Good to know
Darts is £10 per person for the 55-minute session, and you can bundle it with other games and drinks through a BOOM Bundle from £27.50 per head. Walk-ins are fine, but pre-booking your lane guarantees a slot, which matters on Friday and Saturday nights. Under-18s can come in with an adult before 7pm, after that it is strictly over-18s and you may be ID-checked under a Challenge 25 policy. The bar does street-food plates (loaded fries, burgers, vegan options) plus cocktails, £5 pints and a 4pm to 7pm happy hour Monday to Thursday. It is a cashless venue, so bring a card.
Getting there
The bar sits in the Ram Quarter development on Barley Walk, the old brewery site a short walk from Wandsworth High Street. Wandsworth Town rail station is the closest, roughly a 10-minute walk, with frequent trains to Waterloo. If you are driving, there is parking at the Southside Shopping Centre nearby. Plenty of buses run along the high street too, so it is easy to reach from across south-west London without sorting out the Tube.
