Roxy Ball Room / Roxy Lanes St Mary Axe: Bowling & Pool in London
Roxy Ball Room St Mary Axe (Roxy Lanes) is a competitive socialising bar tucked next to the Gherkin in the City, built around seven American pool tables plus duckpin bowling and a wider spread of bar games. It suits after-work drinks, birthdays and group nights out rather than quiet practice, and the single most useful thing to know is that you book a table or lane by the hour and play alongside food and a full bar.
Pool here runs at £24 per table per hour, and you can mix it with duckpin bowling and other games on combo deals from around £21 per person for two activities. It is paid and bookable, over-18s in the evenings, and it leans loud and social. If you want a casual frame or a few frames of bowling with mates after work, this is an easy City option a short walk from Aldgate and Liverpool Street.

The pool setup
You get seven American pool tables, the smaller-pocket US style rather than English pub pool. Tables are hired by the hour at £24, which covers the whole table for your group rather than per person, so it works out well when there are a few of you sharing frames. Beyond pool the venue stacks in beer pong, ice-free curling, duck pin bowling, ping pong, tech darts, tech shuffle, karaoke rooms and shooting pods, so a session can move between games. If you want variety, the mix-and-match deals let you pair two or three activities across the night.
Good to know
Book ahead online, especially for evenings and weekends, since City demand is high after work. American pool is £24 per table per hour and ping pong matches that; combo deals run around £21 per person for two activities or £28 for three. There is a full bar and food on site, so you can eat and drink between frames. Evenings are over-18s and the vibe is loud and social, better for groups and celebrations than a quiet game. The venue sits at 33 St Mary Axe, right by the Gherkin.
