Clays is virtual clay pigeon shooting. You stand at a semi-private peg with a motion-tracked, shotgun-style controller and shoot at clays projected onto a screen, with the system tracking your aim to within a fraction of a millimetre and scoring every round automatically. There are six games in total, each with its own scoring, and a live leaderboard runs throughout the session. Most beginners improve within their first few rounds.
Soho is Clays' flagship branch, set inside a 1930s Art Deco building on Brewer Street, with its own private room and a premium hideaway space for larger bookings. Clays also has sites in Canary Wharf, the City and Birmingham.
How does it work?
Soho runs two separate formats.
- The semi-private peg is the main booking, and the one most groups choose. Standard bookings run from 2 to 20 people, with gameplay lasting 40 to 90 minutes depending on numbers, playing across the six main scored games with a shared leaderboard.
- The arcade is a separate, faster-paced space at Soho only, with quicker multiplayer games and room for up to five players per station. It doesn't require a peg booking.

What is the food and drink like?
Food comes from Culinary Director Roger Olsson, formerly Executive Chef at the Dorchester and the Ritz London, with a sharing-style menu of bar snacks, sliders, salads and pizzette designed to eat one-handed between rounds. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options run throughout.
Clays' signature drinks are its clarified cocktails, made using a clarification technique that leaves the liquid crystal clear, alongside a wider bar and wine list. The full menu is on Clays' own food and drink page.
