The prices are affordable, and they have a nice bar and restaurant. It's definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

There's also an arcade and pool tables available, which adds to the fun. The entry fee is just £1, and they offer late-night games for only £2.50, making it a great value. Unfortunately, there's no bus stop directly outside the bowling alley, just a large parking lot. It's a shame I don't live closer, as I'd love to come here more often. On the bright side, I won the first game—hard to complain about that!

Sometimes, the pins go missing after they reset, but honestly, for just £2 per game (including shoe rental), I can’t really complain. What did surprise me was the entrance fee of £1 per person and the ID check at the door. They do have a bar, pool tables, and arcade games, which makes it reasonable, but it would have been nice to find this information on their website before we drove all the way to Heathrow. Also, the Moonlight promotion starts at 1 AM, but they don’t inform you when it ends until it actually does, which adds to the confusion. Overall, it was a bit disorienting.

I 've lived right by Heathrow for three whole years...how didn 't I not know this existed!? As a person driven by curiosity and the randomness of life offer me any sort of novelty feature and I 'm sooo there. Now I 'm not overly keen on bowling but what makes this yelp worthy is MOONLIGHT BOWLING!! Every Friday and Saturday from 1am this place is open for cheeky late-night coolness. Good times: It 's cheaper £2.15 per game per person incl shoe hire, £1 entry though watch out for that one) Uber cool UV lighting Very few/no children They sell alcohol They have McDonalds Arcade/Pool sans chavs cos it is bare late for dem innit Chances to win free games :D You kinda feel like a rebel because only conformers bowl in the day pfftt! Bad times: They don 't really tell you when it ends. Bit of a 'let there be light moment ' Stiff arm from having not bowled for 3 years
