Activity bars have become all the rage and for those stuck with booking the Christmas party this year, we'd call this trend a total life-saver. Across London, there are places to try everything from laser tag to digital darts, but the beauty of Lane7 Victoria is that your gang gets more bang for your buck and all in one place.
Lane7 has venues all over the country in 12 different cities, from Bath to Edinburgh, but the London branch is one of the best yet. Located in the Zig Zag building in Victoria, it's in the perfect spot for all of your colleagues - or friends or family - to get to easily, and there's plenty of bars and pubs close by if you want to go out afterwards.
Lane7 brings together a collection of your favourite bar games with areas dedicated to bowling, traditional darts, beer pong, crazy golf and retro arcade games called Play Dirty. There's absolutely loads for your team to get stuck into, with a selection of packages to make it easier to plan your visit, too.
Packages are broken up by activity so that you can focus on just one or try out a selection. The Gimmie All You Got package, for example, includes a game of bowling, a drink, an hour of Play Dirty and a meal, while the Pins and Puts package offers a game of bowling and a game of golf.
In terms of venue hire, at Lane7 Victoria you're welcome to book out a large table, a whole area for your gang or even the entire venue. There's also said to be more packages created especially for Christmas closer to the time, but we're waiting for those to be announced.
As for food, cult favourites Patty & Bun have a residency so you can expect a hearty menu of speciality cheeseburgers and mouth-watering sides like cheese balls and rosemary salt chips.
