Puttshack Bank is a tech-driven mini golf venue tucked inside the 1 Poultry building, a couple of minutes from Bank station. It runs three nine-hole courses where a microchipped ball tracks your shots, scores automatically and posts results to live leaderboards, so there is no scorecard and no arguing over who actually won. It suits after-work groups, birthdays and dates more than serious golfers.

The single most useful thing to know: book online. Walk-ins depend on availability and online prices knock £1 off per game. Expect around £14 a course for adults and £9.50 for juniors, with an Unlimited Golf option Sunday to Thursday if you want to keep playing. There is a full bar and kitchen, so you can stay on for cocktails and food after your round.

The mini golf setup

Three separate nine-hole courses run on Puttshack's Trackaball tech. Each ball carries a microchip that knows where it lands, so points rack up on their own and appear on screens around your bay and on a live leaderboard. The holes lean into the gimmicks, with bonus games and moving targets rather than a straight putt to a windmill. A round for two takes roughly 30 minutes per course, so a typical visit is short and social. Doors open 30 minutes before the listed opening time, which gives you a buffer if you are coming straight from work.

Good to know

Pricing is per player per course: about £14 for adults aged 13 and over and £9.50 for juniors aged 12 and under, with £1 off each game if you book online first. On Sunday to Thursday there is an Unlimited Golf ticket at roughly £20 for adults and £16 for juniors if you want more than one course. Booking ahead is the sensible move, especially evenings and weekends. There is a full bar and a kitchen on site, including weekend brunch, so plan to eat and drink around your tee time rather than rushing off.

Getting there

You will find it inside 1 Poultry on Queen Victoria Street, postcode EC2R 8EJ, in the heart of the City. Bank station is the obvious arrival point and sits just around the corner, which makes it an easy meeting spot for a group coming from different directions. Surrounding offices mean it gets busy at the end of the working day, so an earlier or weekend slot is usually calmer if you want space to play.
