Types of Bingo Halls in London
Most London bingo halls sit in one of three camps. There are the big national clubs with large seating areas, electronic tablets, a full bar and food menu. These are the places that tend to run several sessions a day and have a steady crowd.
Then you have independent and community venues. These might be social clubs, converted cinemas, or charity bingo nights that run on set days of the week. Some halls, such as Buzz Bingo Tooting and Mecca Rosehill, sit in former cinemas, so you still get a bit of that old picture-house feel with your bingo.
Finally, there are the social and event-style bingo nights that run in bars, clubs and dedicated venues. Brands like Dabbers Social Bingo and Hijingo host lively sessions with music, themed games and bottomless brunch/boozy bingo events. The halls listed on this page cover a mix of these styles, so you can pick the type of evening you want.
What to Expect
If you have never been to a London bingo hall before, the process is straightforward. Most clubs will ask you to register when you first arrive, which usually takes a few minutes at reception. It is sensible to take photo ID in case the venue asks to confirm your age.
Sessions are usually split into afternoon and evening slots, with main sessions starting at set times. It is worth arriving a little early so you have time to register, buy your tickets, and get settled before the caller starts.
Tickets can be paper books, electronic terminals, or a mix of both depending on the hall. Staff will explain the options and help you choose a package that fits your budget. The caller will run through the rules, and you mark off numbers as they are called. One line, two lines and full house are the most common ways to win.
Facilities, Food and Drink
Larger London bingo clubs usually have a bar, soft drinks, snacks and simple hot food. Smaller or community venues may offer a more limited menu, or rely on nearby takeaways and cafés. Either way it is normal to be able to get a drink and a bite to eat during the night.
Seating is often arranged in rows or grouped tables with a clear view of the caller and screens. Some clubs can feel cool because of the air conditioning, so it can be worth bringing an extra layer if you tend to feel cold. If you have specific needs, it is always best to check the venue’s own site or call ahead before you travel.
