Electric Shuffle King's Cross: Shuffleboard in London
Electric Shuffle King's Cross is a shuffleboard bar in Lewis Cubitt Park, just behind the station near Coal Drops Yard. It is the chain's third London site and the one to pick when you want a night of games with drinks and food rather than a quiet pint. The hook is shuffleboard given a tech makeover: camera vision tracks your puck and runs the scoring, so you can turn up never having played and still keep up.
There are 13 boards spread across several themed rooms, each holding up to 16 people, which makes it an easy call for a group or a work social. Book a board ahead, especially for evenings and weekends, since walk-in space is not guaranteed. The kitchen leans towards sharing plates, pizzas and cocktails.
The shuffleboard setup
Shuffleboard here is the high-tech version. State-of-the-art camera vision tracks your puck and handles the scoring, with on-screen prompts walking you through the rules, so beginners are not left guessing. There are 13 boards in total, divided across themed rooms including The Factory, The Assembly, The Junction, The Forge and The Concourse. Each board takes up to 16 players, so you can split a big group across teams or keep a smaller crew on one. You book a board for a set slot rather than paying per game, which keeps things moving on busier nights.
Good to know
This is a paid, bookable venue, not a free drop-in. Reserve a board online ahead of time, particularly for Friday and Saturday evenings. There is a weekday lunch deal from around £15 for tacos, fries and a drink, served Monday to Friday until 3pm. Brunch events start from about £38, and private hire runs on a minimum spend depending on the room and day. Food is built for sharing, with pizzas and small plates alongside a full cocktail, beer and wine list. Doors stay open late, until midnight in the week and half past midnight on weekend nights.
