Game of Throwing Hammersmith: Axe Throwing in London
Game of Throwing is an indoor axe throwing venue on King Street in Hammersmith, a short walk from Hammersmith station. You throw real axes at digital targets, so instead of chalk-and-board scoring you get screens that track hits and run a rotation of mini-games. That makes it an easy pick for groups, birthdays and work socials where not everyone has thrown before.
There are three lanes, each with an instructor who teaches you the basics and keeps things safe, so beginners are looked after from the first throw. The minimum age is 10, and the venue says it has run sessions for guests aged 10 to 85. Book online and pick a start time. Sessions run about 60 minutes from roughly £27 per person, and there are soft drinks on site rather than a full bar.

The axe throwing setup
You get three lanes, each staffed by an instructor and fitted with digital targets rather than plain wooden boards. Real axes, digital scoring. The screens run around 18 different mini-games, so a session is less about repetition and more about working through formats and a leaderboard. An instructor coaches your technique at the start and stays with the lane throughout, which is why it works for people who have never thrown before. Lanes hold small groups, and the space can be hired exclusively for larger private events.
