London has endless ways to fill your days, but if you’re after something fun, social, and a bit competitive, you can’t go wrong with mini golf. Sure, you won’t find sprawling 18-hole courses here, but you will find plenty of quirky, colourful venues that are big on atmosphere. Grab your mates, bring a date, or round up the kids, these spots are all about fun vibes and a little friendly competition.
Some venues glow under UV lights, others are tucked into markets or rooftops, but all are brimming with personality. You can make it the highlight of your day or fit it neatly between other plans.

Indoor vs Outdoor: Which Fits Your Day?
Indoor mini golf in London means you can play all year without worrying about the weather. Venues like Swingers West End, Puttshack, and Junkyard Golf are atmospheric, social, and often paired with food and drinks.
Outdoor mini golf offers a more relaxed pace, with fresh air and scenic settings, for families or a sunny afternoon. Spots like Plonk Camden Market and Dinosaur Escape Adventure Golf bring playful designs and seasonal charm.
Indoor mini golf is weather-proof and social (hello, snacks and soundtracks); outdoor is slower-paced and scenic—ideal for sunny weekends. Either way, you’re sorted for pre-game coffees, family-friendly meals and nightcaps across our Bloomsbury neighbourhood, browse
Restaurants & Bars, or plan a leisurely
Afternoon Tea or hearty
Hotel Breakfast before you play.
