Recommended pubs

  • Blue Posts 81 Newman Street
    W1T 3EU

    Make sure you find the correct Blue Posts as there are five in and around Soho (there were 15 in 1841 but hey, who's counting?). The board is in the middle of the bar, so if you're gonna play here, throw well. You'll be on show.

  • Bricklayers Arms 31 Gresse Stret
    W1T 1QY

    A lovely little pub with a tremendously cool oche tucked away in the back bar on the ground floor, albeit at bit of a squash.

  • Horse & Groom 128 Great Portland Street
    W1W 6PS

    Sam Smiths pub just a few minutes from Oxford Circus containing a spacious, dedicated darts room at the right rear.

  • One Tun 58-60 Goodge Street
    W1T 4LZ

    A relative newcomer to the world of London's darts pubs, but reporting in 2013 that the board is used most days. The oche is at the rear of the pub in a dedicated area. An ideal escape from furniture shopping on Tottenham Court Road.

  • Other pubs

  • Angel in the Fields 37 Thayer Street
    W1U 2QU

    Just off Marylebone High Street, the board is stuck in the corner and often blocked by tables in what is an extremely pleasant little boozer.

  • Captains Cabin 4-7 Norris Street
    SW1Y 4RJ

    You probably won’t be able to spot the board, but that’s because it’s only put up for events –making it a perfectly good venue for a very central London darts ‘do’. As it happens, last time I visited, one was just about to take place.

  • Champion 12-13 Wells Street
    W1T 3PA

    A Sam Smiths pub with beautiful stained glass, a true London feel, and a million people on a summer Friday night. The oche is by the Eastcastle Street entrance, but the darts area is extremely narrow, making this a better place for practice than for competitive action.

  • Comedy 7 Oxenden Street
    SW1Y 4EE

    Amongst the horrors of Leicester Square and Pic Circus is a pub with a dart board to the right of the upstairs bar. This is a suprisingly central and perfectly reasonable place to throw a few.

  • Glasshouse Stores 55 Brewer Street
    W1F 9UN

    Fine tardis-like Sam Smiths pub which appears to have added a well-presented dart board into one of its many quiet corners early in 2012. Not visited. Suggested by Jonathan Rounsley.

  • Red Lion 14 Kingly Street
    W1B 5PP

    The board is next to the downstairs back bar near a table, so can only be used in quiet periods. A good option during the day.

  • Tudor Rose 44 Blandford Street
    W1U 7HS

    Decent pub with a decent board, but darts isn't a priority when it gets busy.
