London took mini-golf and turned it into a night out. Forget the seaside version with the windmill. Here it comes with a cocktail bar attached, a soundtrack, and a course built around some kind of theme, whether that's a scrapyard, a fictional dessert factory, or a jungle that glows in the dark.
Shoreditch and Bank hold a lot of the big-name courses, the kind built for groups who want a few rounds followed by drinks in the same room. Others turn up in more unexpected corners, in old warehouses or under railway arches, which tends to suit a smaller crowd looking for something a bit different from the usual pub.
Most places run on a book-a-slot basis, so it's worth treating it like a bar with a queue rather than a drop-in activity, especially on a Friday or Saturday night. Turning up as a group of four to eight works best, since courses are usually laid out in holes you play as a team.
Price sits closer to a cocktail bar than a round of actual golf, and you're paying as much for the room and the drinks as the putting. If you're weighing it up against bowling or darts, crazy golf tends to be the one that photographs better and needs the least explaining to a group that's never done it before.
It works well as a first stop before a bigger night out, since most venues keep the music going and the bar open after the last round finishes. Some also run daytime slots that are quieter and easier to just walk into.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to book crazy golf in London in advance?
For the well-known venues, yes, especially evenings and weekends. Slots fill up because courses are played hole by hole in groups, so walk-ins aren't guaranteed a space.
Is crazy golf in London suitable for a first date?
It works well for one. You're doing something together rather than just talking across a table, and there's an easy excuse to laugh if either of you is terrible at it.
What areas have the best mini-golf bars in London?
Shoreditch and Bank have the biggest, most theatrical courses. Smaller and more offbeat versions turn up elsewhere, often in converted industrial spaces.
Can large groups play crazy golf together in London?
Yes, most venues are built with groups and work nights out in mind, with courses designed to be played by teams rather than solo.
Is crazy golf in London only for evenings?
No. Plenty of venues open through the day too, and daytime sessions are usually quieter with less waiting around.
