Feeling a bit beaten-down by the daily grind? We get it, but don't fret - the capital's got you covered with some of the greatest spots in town to let your inner Hulk out (no gamma radiation required).
It's time for destruction therapy, as these rage rooms let you smash up furniture, old technology and crockery, to help you release some of your deep-burning issues. Here are our top recommendations for the best rage rooms in London (and more nearby in Kent and Essex) to smash your stress away. Safety goggles on, folks.
What is a rage room?
Rage rooms (or sometimes referred to as smash rooms) are a way for people to get out anger, frustration and negative energy, in a safe space. Using recycled TVs, old plates and mugs, abandoned printers and boxes, people are invited to use baseball bats, crow bars and more to smash up these objects, wearing safety gear and goggles.
Often in warehouses and similar venues, rage rooms are designed to be contained but high-energy spaces, where you're motivated to smash the stress out, literally.
Why should you go to a rage room?
Rage Rooms are just another unique way to not only experience activities with friends, but challenge yourself to resolve stress differently. While to some, chilling out might include something delicious in front of the telly on the sofa, rage rooms encourage you to leave old comforts behind, get out in to the world, and use good old-fashioned physical activity as a means of releasing frustrations.
