Hollywood Bowl The O2: Bowling in London

Hollywood Bowl at The O2, Entertainment District, Peninsula Square, North Greenwich, London · SE10 0DX

Hollywood Bowl at The O2 is a big ten-pin bowling venue inside the entertainment district at North Greenwich, a couple of minutes from the arena and the cinema. It works best for groups, families and anyone filling time before a gig or film. The single most useful thing to know is that there is more here than standard bowling: alongside 13 ten-pin lanes you get six smaller duckpin lanes upstairs, so you can pick the format that suits your crowd.

You bowl by the game rather than the hour, with adult games from £8.65 and under-16s from £7.65. There is a diner doing burgers and salads, a bar with Costa coffee, American pool tables, arcade machines and Shufl Board, so it is easy to make a full evening of it.

The bowling setup

There are 13 standard ten-pin lanes here, the kind with bumpers available if you are bowling with younger kids. Upstairs on the mezzanine you also get six duckpin lanes, which use smaller balls and shorter pins and are booked by time rather than by game, from £6.67 per person for 60 minutes. There are no dedicated VIP lanes at this branch. Ten-pin is charged per game, so a longer visit means booking more than one round across your group.

Good to know

Pricing starts at £8.65 a game for adults and £7.65 for under-16s, with a family deal from around £31. Booking ahead online is wise, especially at weekends and around O2 arena events when it gets busy. Beyond the lanes there is a Hollywood Diner doing burgers and salads, a bar serving drinks and Costa coffee, American pool tables, arcade games and Shufl Board, so non-bowlers in the group have plenty to do.

Getting there

It sits in the Entertainment District at The O2 on Peninsula Square, SE10 0DX. North Greenwich Underground station on the Jubilee line is right next door, and the venue is part of the same complex as the arena, cinema and the other O2 bars and restaurants, so it pairs naturally with a show or a film.
