Bloomsbury Lanes: A One Off in London

Forget bowling past, the Bloomsbury Bowling Lanes is totally unique for London or indeed anywhere!

Bloomsbury is a one off venue that takes a lead for 1950's America, where bowling was the height of style.

Look closely and you will notice features such as our sleek above lane ball returns (sourced from Canada of all places), our bar made from old bowling lanes wood and our pristine 1950's carpet, which had spend 40 years in storage before we found it.

Many of our guests comment about the fantastic atmosphere in the venue. This is due to the vibrant mix of people whom we attract but also the care and time our team put into the venue.

What makes Bloomsbury special is its status as a one off creation. As we are not part of a chain or concept, you will find better service, customer attention and excellent value for money. You might even find the owners taking your booking or serving your drinks!

Reviews for Bloomsbury Bowling Lanes

Jim Business Member

Bloomsbury Bowl has an excellent range of drinks. Just because the place has a 50's style does not mean they have to extend that to bad American beers and milk shakes. Bloomsbury Lanes in my view is ideal for a night out. Good mix of people and impressive music.

The theming of the place and actual bowling was really good but a few of us went for food afterwards and the service was appalling.

The tables we had reserved were already being sat on, then we ordered food and waited TWO HOURS in total for it to arrive sporadically with people getting their side dishes an hour before the main dish.

The actual food was nice but the waitresses were pretty useless and couldn't remember what anyone had ordered. There was one girl who helped to rectify things but after two hours it was a bit pointless.

Definitely just go there for the bowling and atmosphere, find somewhere else to eat!

Also, to say the theming was so good the actual bar drinks were a bit strange, lots of European lagers etc.
