We all know the usual date night routine; it tends to revolve around going out somewhere nice to eat and possibly watching a film. It’s a classic, usually nice – provided that the food is – and is an easy fallback. Here, we’re looking at more out-there activities for a date night that’ll get you revved up with a bit of competition and plenty of laughs. For this pulse-raising date night in London, here’s where you should visit!
Battle it out with a bit of Everything
If you happen to head on down to Bayswater, you might just stumble across one of the best mini-battle venues LDN has to offer. At Queen’s you’ll find a superb collection of versus mini games that all tap into niche little skills and will have you battling for the perfect scores over one another. The selection is, most certainly, unique – especially for a place in the city!
Under the same roof, you’ll be able to go from VIP ten-pin bowling lanes to trying your hand at the deft winter sport of curling. After spending some time on the ice, turn to the AR Darts boards that are loaded with different challenges and games to keep even the most competent 501 players on their toes. After all that, you can see who’s the ultimate champion on the retro arcade game machines!
Fun Doesn’t Have to be Costly Here
Few occasions give you quite as much bang for your buck as one of cheeky number calls, leaping and shouting with wins, and even some prizes! We are, of course, on about the classic British pastime of playing bingo in a buzzing hall of ticket-dabbing. While there aren’t quite as many of these classic gaming halls as there once were, those that remain draw in the crowds and have enjoyed a resurgence of popularity of late. Best of all, they operate across multiple channels to bring maximum bingo action to all!
Importantly here, bingo has always emphasised that fun doesn’t have to be costly. Whether you’re a bit on the fence or just can’t wait to dive in, you can get a good look at what modern bingo has become by visiting one of the top bingo sites UK players can find. Not only are there digital bingo lobbies to help you refamiliarise yourself with the creative ball calls of the game, but there’s also live bingo. Blurring the lines between in-hall and online play, live bingo brings you that extra dose of charismatic host cheekiness akin to the in-hall experience. If you love it, get some in-hall bingo on the docket for your date night.
Catch the Stars Warming Up on the Circuit
Nothing quite beats having a good laugh and a few beverages to see out a date night on the town. For this, the best place to turn is a very trendy part of London. Before they hit the stage, the best comedians Britain has to offer will do low-key sessions at comedy clubs around the country to warm up, test their material, and generally get to grips with what they’ve got. Many of them gravitate to Soho, which is well-known for its bars and clubs that offer cheap tickets to see these stars warm-up before they commence their tours.
In the Soho area, you can look to the hit club 21Soho as a regular landing spot for Britain’s funniest performers as well as comics who are starting to get buzz around the country. You’ve also got Zebrano London in the area, which has earned a reputation for hosting low-cost comedy nights to complement its cocktail range, Soho Comedy Factory, and what’s usually the most affordable of the bunch, The Blue Posts.
