The Bermondsey Bierkeller is a big German beer hall under the arches at London Bridge, and ping pong is one of the social games tucked into its two underground games rooms. It suits groups who want a few rounds of bat-and-ball between steins of lager and a plate of hearty German food, rather than a serious league night. The single most useful thing to know: this is a beer-hall-first venue, so the table tennis sits alongside darts, shuffleboard, pool and table football as part of the social mix, not as a standalone ping pong club. It is a paid, bookable activity, so reserve a table or a game slot ahead if you are coming with a crowd. You will find it on Tooley Street, a couple of minutes from London Bridge station.

The ping pong setup

Ping pong lives in the Gamekeller, the venue's games arches set in the historic vaults beneath London Bridge. It is one of a spread of activities that also includes darts, shuffleboard, pool and table football, so you can rotate between games across an evening. This is casual social play rather than tournament-grade tables, pitched at groups who want something to do with a drink in hand. Exact table numbers are not published, so it is worth calling ahead on busy nights if you want to be sure of a board. Sales and bookings go through 020 7403 6333 or sales@bermondseybierkeller.co.uk.

Good to know

This is a German beer hall first and games venue second, so expect long benches, big steins and a loud, busy room, especially on Fridays with live music and during Oktoberfest. Food is hearty German fare to share. Games are paid and best booked, particularly for groups, and you can also fold in extras like the underground drift karting from £20 per person for a 15-minute session. The kitchen and bar run from midday, with later closes Thursday to Saturday. Bookings and gift vouchers are handled on the website.

Getting there

You will find the Bierkeller at 2-4 Tooley Street, SE1 2SY, right by London Bridge station, so it is an easy walk from the Northern and Jubilee lines and from the Thameslink and mainline platforms. The games rooms are in the arches, which makes it a handy rainy-day or post-work option close to Borough Market and the South Bank. Standing private hire runs from 2 up to 200 guests, so it works for everything from a small after-work session to a larger team night.
