Flight Club Bloomsbury: Darts in Bloomsbury

Flight Club Bloomsbury is a social darts bar just off New Oxford Street, built for groups who want a few drinks, some food, and a game that does the hard maths for you. You hire an oche (the throwing lane plus its own seating booth), and the boards handle the rest, so it suits total beginners and rusty pub players as much as anyone who actually knows their checkouts.

The setup is the draw. Each board uses precision cameras that track where every dart lands, keep score automatically, flag whose turn it is, and run game modes beyond plain 501, including knockout formats like Killer. There are nine oches spread across two floors under a carnival-style fit-out, with table service for cocktails and sharing food while you play.

It sits in Bloomsbury on the Holborn side, about a three minute walk from Tottenham Court Road and roughly eight minutes from Holborn or Covent Garden. It gets loud and busy in the evenings and at weekends, so book your oche ahead rather than chancing a walk-in, especially for peak slots and bigger groups. Daytime and Sunday sessions are the cheaper, quieter option.
