Rocket Room Leicester Square: Axe Throwing & Darts & Shuffleboard in London
Rocket Room is a gaming bar on the second floor of Market Place Food Hall, right on Leicester Square. It pairs cocktails with competitive play, so shuffleboard sits alongside axe throwing, interactive darts and beer pong. It suits groups and after-work crowds who want something to do with their drinks rather than just stand around a table.
The most useful thing to know: you book your activity by the hour, and shuffleboard is the cheapest of the lot at £30 an hour, or £20 off-peak. It is a central, late-opening spot, running to midnight on Friday and Saturday, with the food hall downstairs covering dinner. Walk-ins are possible but booking ahead is the safer bet at weekends.

The shuffleboard setup
Shuffleboard is one of four games on offer here, and the gentlest of the bunch next to axe throwing and darts. You book it by the hour rather than buying a fixed session, which makes it easy to stretch a game out over a few rounds of drinks. At £30 an hour peak and £20 off-peak it is the cheapest activity in the room, so it is a sensible pick if you want the competitive play without the axe-throwing price tag. It works well for small groups taking turns rather than couples after a quiet table.
Good to know
The venue sits on the second floor of Market Place Food Hall, so you have a proper range of food options downstairs before or after your game.

Axe throwing is strictly 18-plus; other activities allow under-18s with adult supervision. Opening runs to 23:00 most nights, midnight on Friday and Saturday. Book ahead for weekend slots, when the popular times go quickly.
