London is home to a plethora of sports venues and hosts numerous world-class tournaments as well. From rugby to lawn tennis, football to cricket, there are plenty of sporting venues for sports enthusiasts to explore when in the city.  

If you are a sports fan then London is the city that will whet your appetite for sports. If you have a trip planned and are looking for boutique accommodation at an affordable price, book the Barbican Rooms Hotel Suite offered by London City suites in a central spot in the city. A must-have experience is the hotel’s London Afternoon Tea affair at the London City hotel.   

One of the games catching on with golf lovers in London is crazy golf. It offers a great opportunity to hang with family or friends and enjoy a few rounds of golf. Unlike a formal golf game, crazy golf is highly creative and innovative and definitely is something to try when in the capital.

Some of the best crazy golf courses to visit in London include:

Dinosaur Escape:

Another animal-themed crazy golf venue in west London is Dinosaur Escape, with no prizes for guessing draws inspiration from the extinct creatures. It draws its inspiration from the sunny US state of Florida and offers an 18-hole course, with everything on a gigantic scale including massive animatronic dinosaurs. It definitely adds to the fun of playing at the course as long as you do not let it distract you from the game.

Plonk:

If you want to enjoy golf at a unique location try Plonk at Dalston or any of its other three venues across London.  The Dalston venue has the very spiffy Efes Pool Hall that has its own unique interior décor featuring luminescent paint that gives it an unearthly glow during the night. If you are looking for an al fresco golf venue during the summer months head to Brixton and Hackney both of which have their Plonk courses outdoors. The fourth and final Plonk venue is at The Four Thieves, formerly a Victorian music hall located in Battersea. While it is smaller in size than the rest it has a games room with arcade games and table tennis to make it more fun.

Swingers:

With a rather dubious sounding name, Swingers was the first crazy golf bar to open in London. Located at the base of the Gherkin in central London, it is a popup venue that received a lot of popularity with crazy golf lovers. Spread over 16,000 square feet it has two 9-hole courses, plenty of street food options and an amazing 5 bars serving golf-themed drinks. Definitely, a fun way to sip and practise your putt!

Dragon Quest Adventure Golf:

A great place to take the kids to and introduce them to crazy golf. It offers an 18-hole dragon-themed golf course with actual replicas of dragons. The factor that makes playing here all the more unique is the background shrieking special effects. Other unique features include water features, massive monster footprints around the course and caves. The place is popular with families during the weekends and holidays so it is best to make your booking in advance.
