Clays Canary Wharf

Most corporate entertainment relies on guests making their own fun — a drinks reception, background music, and the hope that conversation fills the gaps. Clays Canary Wharf takes a different approach: virtual clay shooting with real shotguns and four-metre screens, set inside a cocktail bar that looks like it belongs in a design magazine rather than an activity centre.

Competitive Socialising at Clays

Eight shooting pegs occupy the main bar, each handling groups of up to 20 across six digital game modes. The competitive element creates energy without requiring facilitation — teams form, stories emerge, and ice breaks between people who might otherwise spend the evening in polite but forgettable conversation. A Private Shooting Room with three pegs and its own bar seats 30 to 50 for more exclusive groups. Full venue hire across all areas accommodates 300 to 350.

The Venue Beyond the Shooting at Clays Canary Wharf

Dark green interiors, earthy pink tones, and a tree growing around the main bar set the tone — premium cocktails, small plates from a Ritz-trained culinary director, and two heated outdoor terraces overlooking the West India docks. The food and drink programme stands on its own rather than playing second fiddle to the activity. For summer parties, the terraces extend the space outdoors with genuine waterside views.

Booking Clays for Events

Packages scale from 90-minute peg sessions to full exclusive hire with DJ, security, and cloakroom. The minimum spend model means no hire fee — spend goes directly on the experience. Two minutes from Canary Wharf station on the Jubilee and DLR, with a licence until 1am and extensions available. A shoot captain manages every booking, keeping the games running and the energy high.
