Darts · Shoreditch
Flight Club, Shoreditch
- Social darts with automatic scoring. You get your own oche and play short, silly games rather than a proper 501 match.
- £10 to £17 per person, set by the day of the week and whether you book 60 or 90 minutes.
- Two traps: Friday after 16:00 and all day Saturday need a minimum of six players.
- Five London sites, all charging the same. Book whichever is nearest.

What is Flight Club?
A darts bar built around the oche: a private throwing area with a board, a screen and automatic scoring. You do not play a real match. You play a run of short arcade-style games with names and animations, which is a deliberate design choice and the reason it works on people who have never held a dart.
Food and drink are brought to the oche while you play, so nobody has to peel off to queue at a bar.
There are five London sites: Bloomsbury, Shoreditch, Victoria, Islington and Canary Wharf. Pricing is the same at all of them, so pick on journey time rather than cost.
How does it work?
You book an oche for 60 or 90 minutes and share it between your group. Scoring is automatic and the games rotate, so nobody has to keep track and nobody who is bad at maths gets caught out.
The booking flow takes 2 to 36 players. Above 36 you are pushed to an events team and off the published price list.
Two rules catch people out, and both are about minimum group size rather than money:
- Friday after 16:00 requires at least six players, at every site except Islington.
- All day Saturday is single-oche bookings only, again with a six player minimum.
If you are a group of four wanting a Friday after work, Islington is the only site that will take you. That is the single most useful thing on this page.
How much does it cost?
Refreshingly simple after Toca. Two rates, split by day of the week, and the same at every London site whatever time you play.
| When | 60 minutes | 90 minutes |
|---|---|---|
| Sunday to Tuesday | £10per person | £14per person |
| Wednesday to Saturday | £13per person | £17per person |
Per person, for one oche. Food and drink are extra. Rates verified September 2026.
What that means in practice
- Sunday to Tuesday is a third cheaper than the rest of the week for exactly the same thing.
- 90 minutes is the better buy. The step from 60 to 90 costs £4 for half as much time again, which is the best value move on the page.
- Time of day does not change the price, unlike most venues here. A Tuesday at 19:00 costs the same as a Tuesday at noon.
- For eight people, 90 minutes on a Monday is £112. The same booking on a Thursday is £136.
One figure we could not stand up: Flight Club's own marketing advertises social darts from £9 per person. No slot at that rate appeared anywhere in the booking flow. Treat £10 as the real floor.
The other things they sell
- Brunch, from £33 per person, with prosecco or beer, bottomless pizza, darts and a Saturday DJ.
- Bar tables, free to book, walk-ins welcome, with outdoor terraces at some sites.
- Large events, 37 players and up, private space and bespoke packages by enquiry only.
What is the food and drink like?
Pizza-led, served to the oche while you play, which is the part that matters. It is bar food designed to be eaten standing up between throws rather than a sit-down meal, and it is priced accordingly.
The brunch package is the exception and is a genuine sit-and-eat proposition, though at £33 a head before drinks it is a different sort of outing.
How do you get there?
Shoreditch. Closest to Old Street on the Northern line, with Shoreditch High Street on the Overground as an alternative. A few minutes on foot from either. We have not timed the walk from the station or confirmed step-free access, so check with the venue if either matters.
The other four sites. Bloomsbury, Victoria, Islington and Canary Wharf all charge the same, so choose on where your group is coming from. Victoria and Canary Wharf are the easiest for anyone commuting out of a mainline station.
How do you book?
Online for 2 to 36 players. You choose a site, a date, a session length and a group size, and the price follows the day of the week rather than the hour.
Check the minimum player rules before you get attached to a slot: six players on Friday after 16:00 and six all day Saturday, Islington excepted on the Friday rule.
Groups of 37 and up go through an enquiry form. Deposit and cancellation terms are not published. Not yet confirmed by us.
Is it worth it?
Yes, and it is the easiest booking in this set. Flat pricing with no hourly games, five sites so somebody in your group is always near one, and a format that works on people who arrive insisting they are bad at darts. The 90-minute session on a Sunday to Tuesday at £14 a head is arguably the best value competitive socialising in London. What lets it down is the minimum player rule, which quietly closes off Friday evening and all of Saturday to small groups.
Right for
- Groups of six or more, who can book any slot without restriction
- Anyone who wants a price they can quote before they book
- Sunday to Tuesday, where the same session is a third cheaper
- Mixed abilities, since the games are arcade rather than a real match
- Groups spread across London, given five sites at one price
Wrong for
- Groups of four or five on a Friday evening, unless you go to Islington
- Any small group on a Saturday, which needs six players everywhere
- Anyone expecting a proper game of darts rather than a scoring gimmick
- Groups over 36, who lose the published price entirely
- A sit-down meal, unless you are booking the brunch
Common questions
- How much is Flight Club?
- £10 per person for 60 minutes and £14 for 90 minutes on Sunday to Tuesday. Wednesday to Saturday it is £13 and £17. The same at all five London sites.
- Is there a minimum number of players?
- Yes, in two cases. Friday after 16:00 needs six players at every site except Islington, and Saturday needs six players everywhere.
- Which is cheaper, 60 or 90 minutes?
- Per minute, 90 is much better value. The extra half hour costs £4 whichever band you are in.
- How many people can play?
- The booking flow takes 2 to 36. Above 36 you go to the events team and off the price list. How many fit on one oche is not published.
- Which London sites are there?
- Bloomsbury, Shoreditch, Victoria, Islington and Canary Wharf. All the same price.
- Do you need to be good at darts?
- No. Scoring is automatic and the games are arcade style rather than a real match, which is the point.
