I wish I would have known that .....

........there are so many different sporting venues

London is home to many large sports venues. Sporting activities is my favourite past-time to do with my friends, from watching football to having fun with paintball. The places that work best for me are in the evening or after I have been on a journey of discovery. Sport venues provide an amazing atmosphere to enjoy and add a unique and exciting attraction to your day.

My favourite place in London was the Emirates Stadium, home of Arsenal Football Club. It is a breathtaking sports arena that is also an innovative venue for non-football events. But first the football and a new way to enjoy this sport with so much fun ! This is Bubble Football, which is hilarious. The players are encased in an inflated torus, similar to a zorb, which covers the player’s upper-body and head. In London you can enjoy this sport in Barnet, the Barnet Bubble Football.

An another great past-time is ten pin bowling and London has so many spots for this sport. Here's 3 good bowling in London : Hollywood Bowl Finchley, Tenpin Acton and Bloomsbury Bowling.

In London there isn't that much Karting spots, but I found a great place which is TeamSport Go Karting in North London. A little advice if you decide to try Karting, the more the merrier !

My favourites are paintball and laser games which is the same but without the paint. You can either compete in a team or alone, everyone’s first paintball or Laser Game experience is exciting. You can practice those two in Bloomsbury at Paintball Nation - Paintball Games, and Laser Strike - Laser Combat.
