Walthamstow Go Go Golf: Mini Golf in London

CRATE, 17&Central, Selborne Road, Walthamstow, London · E17 7JR · Mo 08:00-22:00; Tu-We 08:00-23:00; Th-Sa 08:00-23:30; Su 10:00-22:00

Go Go Golf is a 9-hole indoor mini golf course inside CRATE, the food hall at 17&Central in Walthamstow. It is built around a Waltham Forest theme, with holes nodding to the Walthamstow Wetlands, Epping Forest, Hollow Ponds and Chingford Plains, plus lifelike plants, coloured grass and neon lighting. It suits families, casual groups and anyone wanting a cheap, low-effort thing to do before or after eating.

The single most useful thing to know: it is genuinely cheap. A round is £5 for ages 13 and up and £2.50 for under-12s, and you can either book ahead or just walk in. Because it sits on the first floor of a working food hall, you can play a round and then go straight to a counter for food and a drink.

The mini golf setup

There are 9 holes, each bespoke built rather than off-the-shelf, so the layouts vary as you go round. The whole thing is themed on Waltham Forest, pulling in the local landscape: the Wetlands, Epping Forest, Hollow Ponds and the Chingford Plains. Expect coloured grass surfaces, lifelike plants and animals as props, and special effects with neon lighting that give the course a glow. It is indoors, so weather is not a factor, and the scale is compact rather than a sprawling 18-hole affair.

Good to know

It is £5 for ages 13 and over and £2.50 for under-12s, which makes it one of the cheaper rounds in London. Advance bookings and walk-ins are both fine, so you do not have to plan ahead. It lives on the first floor of CRATE at 17&Central, a food hall with multiple kitchens and a bar, so it works well as a quick add-on to a meal or drinks. CRATE is open late, from 8am most days through to as late as 11:30pm Thursday to Saturday.

Where it fits

This is a good shout for families with kids, since the under-12 price is low and the course is short enough to hold attention. It also works for a casual group or an easy date that does not take itself seriously. Treat it as one part of a CRATE visit rather than a whole night out: play a quick round, then sit down to eat. If you want a longer or more elaborate mini golf experience, this compact 9-hole course may feel brief.
