Arrowsmiths Bromley (town centre): Darts in London
Arrowsmiths is a digital darts bar tucked inside O'Neill's in the middle of Bromley town centre. You book a booth, called an oche, and a screen runs the games and keeps score for you, so there is no chalk and no mental arithmetic. It suits small groups and casual players more than serious league throwers, with each booth holding up to six people. The single most useful thing to know: it is a paid, over-18s, booking-based experience rather than a free pub board, with 90-minute sessions from £9 per person off-peak. Food and drink come straight from the booth screen, so once you are in your slot you can order pizzas, tapas and cocktails without breaking up the game. Bromley North station is a four-minute walk away.
The darts setup
Arrowsmiths is digital darts, so forget chalk and mental arithmetic. The room has three individual booths, each its own oche with a screen that runs the games and keeps score automatically. You pick a format on the screen, throw, and the board does the maths for you. Each booth comfortably holds up to six players, so it works for a couple of mates or a small crew taking turns. Book more than one booth side by side if your group is bigger. The setup leans toward fun and variety rather than a tournament-grade single board, which makes it forgiving if you have not thrown in years.
Good to know
This is a booking-based experience, not a free pub board, and it is over-18s only. A 90-minute session runs from £9 per person off-peak (Monday to Thursday and Sunday) and £11 at peak on Friday and Saturday, with shorter 60-minute slots from £4 per person. You order food and drinks straight from the booth screen without leaving your oche. The kitchen does hand-stretched stone-baked pizzas and tapas, and the bar covers cocktails, craft beers and soft drinks. It sits inside O'Neill's Bromley, which is dog-friendly, so the wider pub is there if you want to carry on after your slot.
Getting there
You will find Arrowsmiths on East Street in the middle of Bromley town centre, postcode BR1 1QE, tucked inside O'Neill's. Bromley North station is about a four-minute walk away, and Bromley South is a short walk further for Southeastern services into central London.
