Leadbelly's is a sports bar and kitchen in Canada Water, on Deal Porter Square just by the station. It runs an interactive darts board with automatic scoring and a handful of game modes, so nobody has to keep the maths in their head. You book it as an area for up to six people at £9 a head, which makes it an easy call for a small group or an after-work crowd rather than serious league players. The single most useful thing to know: pre-book your darts and you get 20% off any food you order on the day. Beyond the oche it leans hard into sport, with six screens including a 120-inch projector, plus beer pong and table tennis if you fancy switching it up. Expect a full kitchen, cocktails and a proper drinks list alongside the games.

The darts setup

This is interactive darts, not a traditional pub board. You throw at a brand-new board fitted with automatic scoring, so the system tracks the numbers and runs several game modes for you. It is set up as one bookable area rather than a wall of oches, and you reserve the whole spot for your group. That format suits casual play and group sessions far more than a competition night, since the tech does the counting and keeps things moving. If you have never played beyond a holiday pub board, you will be fine here, the screen walks you through each mode and tallies the score automatically.

Good to know

Darts is £9 per person for a group of up to six, and you book the area through the widget on the website rather than just turning up and hoping. The standout deal is the food discount: pre-book a darts session and you get 20% off everything you order from the kitchen. Leadbelly's serves food from breakfast and brunch through to dinner, with a full cocktail and drinks list, so it works as a proper meal-and-games outing. It is also a serious sports venue, with six screens and a 120-inch projector showing football, rugby, F1 and boxing, plus beer pong and table tennis on the side.

Getting there

Leadbelly's sits in Montreal House on Deal Porter Square, right in the middle of the Canada Water development on Surrey Quays Road, SE16 7AQ. Canada Water station is the one to aim for and it is only a short walk away, putting you on both the Jubilee line and the London Overground. That makes it quick to reach from central London and the City, and easy to peel off home afterwards. Open late through the week, with the kitchen running into the evening, so there is no rush to finish your throws and your food.
