📌 The five picks

Gravity Wandsworth

Nine activities under one roof, including e-karting, AR bowling and darts, VR, esports, shuffleboard and street golf, with two bars and a food hall. It has dedicated corporate spaces, so it can be a full team event rather than a casual drink. Splitting into teams across activities keeps everyone involved.

NQ64 Soho

A retro arcade bar with vintage machines, classic consoles and a craft-led drinks menu. Booths, semi-private areas and full venue hire are all offered, so it scales from a small team to a whole company. It is a friendly way to get quieter colleagues talking, because everyone can play arcade games.

The Traitors Live Experience

An immersive game inspired by the TV series, where players get secret roles as Faithfuls or Traitors and work through missions, puzzles and voting rounds. It rewards communication and reading people, which is close to what a team day is meant to build. There is a bar on site for afterwards.

Ballie Ballerson

An 18+ ball-pit bar with cocktails, pizza and DJs. It is the most playful option here, best for a team celebration rather than a structured workshop. Photo ID is required on entry. The button below goes to Ballie Ballerson’s gift-voucher listing rather than a direct booking page, so check the current options there.

Sixes Cricket

Cricket simulators and batting cages in a converted warehouse on Bermondsey Street, with a bar and kitchen. No cricket experience is needed, and it takes private groups from 30 up to 300 guests. See our Sixes Cricket London guide for more on the venue.

❓ FAQ

Quick answers before you book

What makes a good team building activity?

Something everyone can join without prior skill, where people work with colleagues they do not usually sit with. Team games, arcade challenges and simulators all do this better than a sit-down meal.

How big a group can these venues handle?

It varies by venue, and most have private hire or semi-private options for larger teams. Capacity and minimum spends change, so ask the venue for its current figures when you enquire.

How far ahead should we book?

As soon as you have a date. Weekday afternoons and evenings are easier to book than Fridays, but the best spaces for larger groups still go early.

How do we work out a budget?

Set a per-head figure, then ask each venue what it covers. Activity, food and drink are sometimes bundled and sometimes charged separately, and private hire may carry a minimum spend.
