First Floor, The Chimes Shopping Centre, Uxbridge, Middlesex · UB8 1LA

Hollywood Bowl Uxbridge is a big ten-pin bowling centre on the first floor of The Chimes Shopping Centre in the middle of town. It opened in 2025 after a £4 million fit-out, so the lanes, screens and seating are all new. There are 22 standard lanes plus 4 smaller duckpin lanes, which makes it a solid pick for groups, birthdays and a rainy-day plan with kids.

It is paid and easy to slot in around shopping. A game runs from £7.70 for adults and £6.70 for under-16s, with family deals from £27.36. Up to 8 players share a lane, and there is an American-style diner, a bar and arcade machines if you want to make a longer afternoon of it.

The bowling setup

You get 22 full-size ten-pin lanes here, which is a lot, so even on busy weekends you are rarely stuck waiting forever. Alongside them sit 4 duckpin lanes, a shorter format with smaller balls and squat pins that younger kids and total beginners tend to find easier to enjoy. Each lane takes up to 8 players, so a decent-sized group can stay together rather than splitting across the building. There are no VIP lanes, so everyone bowls in the same room. Bumpers and lightweight balls are available if you ask, which helps with little ones.

Good to know

Pricing is per game rather than per hour. Adults start from £7.70, under-16s from £6.70, and family deals start at £27.36, though prices shift by day and time so it pays to book online to lock in a slot. The venue sits inside The Chimes, with 1,551 parking spaces including disabled, parent-and-child and EV bays. There is step-free access via slopes, air conditioning and free WiFi. Assistance dogs only. Sport is not shown at the bar, so it is bowling-first rather than a screen pub.

Food and drink

The Hollywood diner does stacked burgers and loaded nachos plus a wider menu, so you can eat without leaving your lane area. The bar pours spirits and soft drinks and makes milkshakes, which keeps both kids and adults happy. There are arcade machines with prize games and pool tables too, handy if some of your group wants a break from bowling or you are killing time before a booked lane. A change machine on site keeps the amusements topped up.
