180 Club Camden: Darts in Camden

180 Club Camden is a darts bar tucked into Camden Lock, built for groups who want to throw a few legs without taking it too seriously. It suits a casual night out, a birthday, or an after-work session, and it works whether you are a regular thrower or have never picked up a dart.

The setup is four electronic dartboards, each in its own booth, with automatic scoring so nobody has to do mental arithmetic over a cocktail. The boards run group games and the digital scoring keeps things moving, which makes it friendly for beginners and easy to rotate a bigger crowd through. Capacity is up to 14 players across the four lanes, so it handles small groups and larger parties.

You book a lane by the hour rather than walking in and hoping. Pricing is timed: off-peak runs at £10 an hour (Monday to Wednesday all day, Thursday and Friday until 5pm), and peak is £20 an hour (Thursday and Friday evenings, plus all day at the weekend). There is a bar doing cocktails and food alongside the darts. It sits right in Camden Market by the lock, a short walk from Camden Town and Chalk Farm tubes, and the late weekend hours make it a solid spot once the market winds down.
