Boom Battle Bar, London Oxford Street

Oxford Street isn't short of places to drink. What it lacks are places where 400 people can throw axes, play augmented reality darts, belt out karaoke, and compete at shuffleboard — all on the same night, all under one roof, one minute from Tottenham Court Road. Boom Battle Bar occupies that gap with deliberate energy.

Gaming as Event Format

The venue spreads across basement and ground floor levels at 70-88 Oxford Street, packed with 8-10 competitive games that keep groups moving rather than standing in clusters. AR axe throwing and AR darts use augmented reality to add scoring, effects, and competitive structure to classic activities. Crazier golf winds through the space. Beer pong, shuffleboard, private karaoke booths, a photo booth, and Sega arcade games fill the rest.

For event planners, this format solves a problem. Guests arrive at a venue where entertainment is immediate and accessible — no ice-breaking exercises, no DJ warming up an empty dance floor, no guests checking their phones in the corner. The games do the social work automatically.

West End Accessibility

The Oxford Street location is the venue's operational advantage. Tottenham Court Road's Elizabeth Line connection puts it within easy reach of Canary Wharf, Paddington, and the City, while the Northern and Central lines cover most of London. For corporate events pulling guests from multiple offices, the transport arithmetic works in the venue's favour.

The in-house street food kitchen and cocktail bar keep everything under one roof — no coordinating external suppliers, no split-venue logistics. Dedicated event planners manage the detail from booking through to the night itself, with bespoke packages available for groups wanting structured tournament formats or specific combinations of games and food.
