All Star Lanes White City: Bowling in London
All Star Lanes White City is a retro-styled bowling and karaoke bar tucked inside Westfield London, with eight lanes, two cocktail bars and an American-leaning menu. It suits groups, date nights and family afternoons, and the most useful thing to know is that you should book ahead, especially for evenings and weekends when it gets busy.
Bowling runs from £9.50 a game off-peak, climbing to £14 for adults at peak times, with children's games at £9.50. If you want the full evening, the Bowl, Dine and Drink package bundles a game, a cocktail or mocktail and a main for £30 a head. There are arcade machines and private karaoke booths if you fancy something beyond the lanes, plus an outdoor terrace.
The bowling setup
You get eight retro ten-pin lanes, kept deliberately small so the place feels more like a bar with bowling than a giant alley. Lanes are booked by time slot rather than per game when you reserve online, so a group can settle in without rushing. Alongside the lanes there are classic arcade games and private karaoke booths you can hire separately, which makes it easy to keep a longer night going. White City also has a Qbix GameCube immersive gaming setup that is exclusive to this location.
Good to know
Booking is the safe move, particularly Thursday to Saturday when the venue stays open until midnight. Off-peak games are £9.50, peak adult games £14, and children twelve and under pay £9.50. The Bowl, Dine and Drink deal at £30 per person covers a game, a drink and a main from the American-style menu. Two cocktail bars handle the drinks side, and there is in-house catering for parties. It sits inside Westfield, so getting there and parking is straightforward.
Getting there
The venue is inside Westfield London on Ariel Way, W12 7FU. Wood Lane station is about a four-minute walk and White City station roughly six minutes, both handy on the Central and Hammersmith and City lines. Shepherd's Bush station is around eleven minutes on foot. Because you arrive through the shopping centre, it is easy to combine bowling with food, shopping or a film in the same trip.
