About this space

The KingPin Suite is a private Bowling Alley in Bloomsbury Bowling Lanes & The Kingpin Suite that centres on an enclosed five-lane bowling area with integrated lounge seating.

Design: The interior pairs polished timber lanes with patterned carpet and low leather sofas. The ceiling shows timber panelling and downlighting that keep the room compact and social.

Features: Five dedicated bowling lanes occupy one side of the suite beside carpeted lounge seating and cube tables. The room contains karaoke, arcade machines and a ping-pong table, plus Wi‑Fi, air conditioning, a PA system allowing own music or a hired DJ, a small dance area and wheelchair access. In-house food is available.

Ideal for: Groups looking for a relaxed, social evening focused on shared activities and casual seating.

What sets it apart: A marble-topped cocktail bar runs along the suite's edge, providing an in-room bar counter inside the private hire area.

What guests say: The suite provides multiple entertainment options and on-site catering, and staff service is attentive. The suite's air conditioning can be inadequate on hot days and operating hours have at times been inconsistent.

Perfect venue for a wedding reception that has something for everyone. Our party could not have been better! Food was delicious and brought out at the right time; bar staff and front office staff were extremely kind and accommodating. Bowling games were easy to set up and ran seamlessly, as did the karaoke and music. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely fantastic place to hold your event! I love that there are different sections for people to interact. All of the games were included in the price which is so good! The service was impeccable from start to finish - Natalie was great putting together a package for me and making sure all details were sent to the venue in advance. The manager on the night along with all his staff were so friendly and attentive. They have a ton of experience with events which made me feel really relaxed! We will definitely be booking again next year for this event.
