Roxy Ball Room St Mary Axe: Darts in London

Paid5 boards18+Walk-inGroupsFood & cocktails

Roxy Ball Room St Mary Axe is a games bar in the City, tucked right next to the Gherkin. Darts is one of about ten activities under the same roof, so it suits a group that wants more than one thing on the go: a few legs of tech darts, then pool, ping pong or duck pin bowling between rounds. The darts boards run on automatic scoring, which means nobody has to do the maths and total beginners can jump straight in. Worth knowing up front: this is a strictly over-18s venue on a Challenge 25 policy, and there is a dress code (no sportswear, football shirts or tracksuit bottoms). You can walk in if there is space, but booking ahead is the safer bet, especially after work.

The darts setup

There are five tech darts boards here, all fitted with built-in score-tracking, so the screen handles the numbers for you. You can play a straight game of 501 or work through the interactive challenges built into the system, which keeps things moving whether you are a sharp thrower or have never picked up a dart. Boards are booked by the oche and charged per person per hour, so you take one with your group rather than queueing for a public board. It sits alongside the other games in the same gaming hall, so you can rotate between darts, pool and the rest without leaving the room.

Good to know

Roxy is over-18s only and runs a Challenge 25 policy, so bring ID. There is a dress code too: no sportswear, no football shirts and no jogging or tracksuit bottoms. Walk-ins are accepted when there is space, but with City crowds after work you are better off booking online. On the food side it leans American: pizzas, burgers and chicken wings, plus sides. Drinks run to Roxy's own rock and indie themed cocktails, beer, cider and mocktails, so the non-drinkers in your group are covered. Hours run late, to 00:30 on Friday and Saturday.

Getting there

The venue is at 33 St Mary Axe in the City of London, EC3A 8AA, in the cluster of towers right beside the Gherkin. That puts it in easy reach of several stations: Aldgate and Liverpool Street are both a short walk, with Bank, Monument and Fenchurch Street also close by. It is a solid pick for an after-work session if you work in the Square Mile, and easy to reach from across the City and east London. Because it is squarely a City spot, expect it to be busiest on weekday evenings.
