Hayes Hill, Hayes, Bromley, Kent ยท BR2 7HN

Old Wilsonians is a members' sports club on Hayes Hill in Bromley, tucked at the junction of Hayes Hill Road and Tiepigs Lane. It is best known for cricket and football, but the clubhouse also runs a darts team, so there is a board in the bar and a regular night built around it. If you fancy a game of arrows over a pint without paying to play, this is a proper local club rather than a slick darts bar. The single most useful thing to know: the darts here revolves around the Monday-night league side, so that is when the oche is busiest and most welcoming to anyone who wants to throw. The clubhouse has a refurbished bar and kitchen, so you can eat and drink while you play.

The darts setup

Darts at Old Wilsonians sits inside the club's social side rather than being a dedicated darts venue. There is a board in the clubhouse bar, and the club fields one team on Monday nights. That team plays in the West Wickham Phoenix Darts League, a long-running local league that traces back to 1946, so the standard of play on match nights is solid club level. You are throwing on a standard board over a pint, not booking a numbered oche with automatic scoring. If you want a casual game, the bar board is the place; if you want competition, Monday is the night the league fixtures run.

The darts scene here

The team competes in the First Division of the West Wickham Phoenix Darts League, a twelve-team division played on Monday nights. They are a competitive side: in the 2025/26 season they finished fourth, winning sixteen of their twenty-two matches. That tells you the regulars take their darts seriously while keeping it sociable. Because this is a members' club built around cricket and football, the darts crowd is part of a wider clubhouse community, so expect a friendly local feel rather than a walk-up commercial darts hall. If you are keen to play league darts, this is a genuine team you could join.
