Sixes Social Cricket Fitzrovia: Darts in London
Sixes Social Cricket in Fitzrovia is a cricket-led social venue on Great Portland Street, run by the team behind Mac & Wild. The headline act is the tech-powered batting nets, but tucked alongside them is a private games room with a full-size pool table, a classic dartboard and giant Jenga, plus its own self-serve beer tap. So this is the place for a few throws as part of a bigger night out, not a dedicated darts hall. It suits groups, after-work crowds and anyone who wants games with proper food and cocktails rather than a quiet pub board. Everything here is paid and best booked ahead. Under-18s are welcome in the daytime, and it sits two minutes from Great Portland Street station.

The darts setup
Darts here lives in the private games room rather than on the main floor. You get one classic dartboard, set up next to a full-size pool table and giant Jenga, with a self-serve beer tap in the room so you are not running to the bar between legs. It is a single board shared by your group, so think of it as one part of a wider games session rather than a venue built around oches. The room is hired as a private space, which means it works best when you book it for a group and have the darts, pool and Jenga to rotate through across the evening.
Good to know
This is a paid, book-ahead venue. The cricket nets are reserved by the hour with pricing that scales by group size, and the games room is a private hire with a minimum spend that shifts by day and season, so message ahead for a quote. Food leans into BBQ-style pub grub, burgers, pizza and sharing plates, with cocktails, beers and a long drinks list to match. There is bottomless brunch at weekends too. Under-18s are welcome during the day (roughly until early evening), after which it tilts towards the after-work and party crowd.
Getting there
Sixes sits at 170 Great Portland Street in Fitzrovia, W1W 5QB, about a two-minute walk from Great Portland Street station on the Circle, Hammersmith and City and Metropolitan lines. Regent's Park (Bakerloo) and Oxford Circus are both a short walk away if those work better for your group, and Warren Street is close on the Victoria and Northern lines. Opening hours run later as the week goes on: it opens from late afternoon on Monday and Tuesday, from midday Wednesday to Friday, and from mid-morning at weekends, closing at midnight on Friday and Saturday.
