All Star Lanes

If you’re after a family day out with a bit of a competitive edge, All Star Lanes is a total strike. With retro-chic vibes, American diner food, and tenpin bowling that’s friendly for all ages, it’s one of London’s top indoor spots for families with kids, tweens and teens.

Little ones can join in thanks to lightweight balls, ball ramps, and bumpers, while older kids can take the lead in karaoke battles, arcade games, or just trying to beat mum or dad’s score. It’s all indoors, so it’s perfect for rainy weekends, birthday parties or half-term hangouts.

Under-18s are welcome until 6pm, and every child must be with a grown-up. Birthday packages are brilliant, complete with private lanes, party food and kid-friendly playlists.Parents, you’re not left out either. Grab a coffee or mocktail while the kids play or join in and show them how bowling’s really done.

Top tip from the KidRated team:

Is All Star Lanes family-friendly?

All Star Lanes is a brilliant mix of retro fun and cool vibes that kids, teens, and grown-ups will all enjoy. From bowling and arcade games to karaoke and milkshakes, it’s perfect for family outings.

Are there facilities for younger kids?

Definitely. Little bowlers are sorted with lightweight balls, bumpers, and ball ramps, so even toddlers can have a go. The friendly staff are great at helping first-timers get started.

Are there time restrictions for kids?

Yes. Under-18s are welcome until 6pm, and the latest booking slot for bowling or karaoke is at 5pm. All children and teens must be accompanied by an adult during their visit.

How long does a game take with kids?

Allow about 10 minutes per player per game. So a family of four will get through one game in roughly 40 minutes (give or take a snack break or giggle fit).

What food options are there for families?

The menu’s packed with American-style favourites – juicy burgers, loaded fries, mac and cheese, chicken tenders, and kids’ portions too. Great for post-game fuel-ups or a birthday feast.

Do we need to book in advance?

Absolutely. It’s a popular spot, especially at weekends and school holidays, so we recommend booking online in advance to secure your lane or karaoke booth.

Can teenagers go without an adult?

No, sorry. Anyone under 18 must be with an adult at all times, whether they’re bowling, singing, or just hanging out.

Do they offer birthday party packages for kids?

Yes, and they’re a blast! Think private lanes, karaoke rooms, tasty party food, and the chance to make your own playlist. Whether it’s a mini pop star or a bowling champ, they’ll be buzzing for days.

Are the venues accessible?

Most All Star Lanes locations are step-free and accessible, but it’s best to check with your chosen venue if you have specific needs.

Is there anything else to do on-site?

Yes. Many venues have retro arcade machines, stylish bars, and lounges. Parents can relax with a coffee or mocktail while the kids burn off some energy.
