Hercules
Craft beer pub Hercules is not only a cool destination for its modern look, amazing pints, unique spirits and live sport, but also shuffleboard to get stuck into as well. Plus, you can refuel on wings, burgers and more.
First gaining notoriety as a much-loved pastime of King Henry VIII, shuffleboard has had a bit of comeback with Londoners of late. Simple in its concept (gamers simply slide a disc along a narrow surface - aiming to land within the scoring area), the game can now be found in many boozers and bars, with sleek full-sized playing tables, outdoor play spaces and electronic scoring systems. So, if you're looking for something a little different for your next night out, look no further than our guide on where to play shuffleboard in London.
