Flight Club Shoreditch: Darts in London
Flight Club Shoreditch is the original branch of the social darts chain, tucked into the Alphabeta Building on Worship Street near Old Street. This is darts as a group night out rather than a quiet local: you book an oche (your own throwing lane plus a seating booth), and three cameras track every dart with automatic scoring, so nobody argues over the maths. It suits birthdays, work socials and anyone who wants a competitive drink rather than a serious league match. The single most useful thing to know: you book by the board, not per person, and it gets busy and pricey at peak times. Food and cocktails come to your booth while you play. From 5pm the venue is over-18s only.

The darts setup
There are 13 oches spread across two bars, including a basement, so you are essentially renting a self-contained darts booth with your own board and seating. The clever part is the scoring: three precision cameras read where each dart lands, then the screen handles the maths, calls out turn order and target numbers, and announces the winner. You can play classic 501 or the more chaotic Killer, where the aim is to knock other players out. It also grabs action replays and short highlight clips of your group, which is the bit people end up sharing afterwards. No chalk, no scrappy paper scoring, no rules arguments.
Good to know
You book online and pay by the board per hour, roughly £15 on weekday daytimes and Sundays and around £30 at peak evenings and weekends, with a minimum spend on bookings of three hours or more. Food and drink come to your oche while you play: pizzas, sliders, small plates and cocktails, including a sharing cocktail served in a giant trophy. Brunch is also on the menu. Under-18s can come into the bar areas for food until 5pm but cannot go on the oches or play, and last food orders for them are 4pm. From 5pm it is over-18s only. Dress code is smart casual.
Getting there
The venue sits in the Alphabeta Building at 2A Worship Street, EC2A 2AH, on the edge of Shoreditch where it meets the City. The nearest station is Old Street (Northern line and overground), a short walk away, and Liverpool Street and Moorgate are both close enough to walk if you are coming from the City side. It is a handy spot for after-work groups, which is partly why evenings and weekends fill up and cost more. Book ahead, especially for larger groups, since peak slots go quickly and walking in on spec is not a safe bet.
