Swingers Crazy Golf - City, London

A Unique Urban Mini Golf Experience

Swingers Crazy Golf - City is a vibrant indoor venue located at 8 Brown's Buildings in London’s bustling financial district. The venue features two distinct 9-hole miniature golf courses, the Lighthouse Course and the Windmill Course, each offering classic obstacles like windmills, loops, bridges, and lighthouses. The design evokes a 1920s English country golf club atmosphere with a modern twist, incorporating elements such as unfinished wood, green turf, and faux wisteria to create a stylish yet playful environment. This venue is tailored primarily for adults seeking a fun and social night out rather than a traditional family mini golf outing.

Atmosphere and Social Scene

Inside the 16,000-square-foot basement space, the mood is lively and upbeat, with music, multiple cocktail bars, and street food vendors adding to the festive vibe. The venue’s layout encourages competitive socialising, making it a popular spot for birthday parties, team-building events, client entertaining, and casual group outings. Staff are attentive and eager to keep drinks flowing, enhancing the overall experience. The venue’s speakeasy and belle-epoque-inspired decor complements the energetic yet classy ambiance.

Food, Drink, and Entertainment Options

Swingers offers a solid selection of bar food including wings, tacos, fries, and burgers, alongside indulgent options like gelato and donuts for dessert. Guests can enjoy drinks before, during, and after their rounds of mini golf, with five cocktail bars spread throughout the venue. The combination of food, drink, and entertainment makes Swingers a comprehensive nightlife destination beyond just the golf courses.

Course Design and Playability

Both courses have a par of 21 and feature a variety of classic mini golf challenges. The holes are designed to be fun and accessible rather than highly technical, with each course taking about 30 minutes to complete. The equipment is well maintained, with quality putters and a single ball per group to keep play orderly. While the courses are not overly difficult, the creative obstacles and layout provide an engaging experience for players of all skill levels.

Accessibility and Practical Details

Swingers City is wheelchair accessible and offers disabled toilets, catering to a broad audience. The venue operates mainly in the afternoons and evenings, with opening hours extending later on Thursdays through Saturdays. It is located near Liverpool Street Station, making it easily reachable by public transport. The price for a round typically ranges from £16 to £20, reflecting its mid-range pricing and premium social experience.

Legacy and Closure

After nearly a decade of operation since its permanent opening in 2016, Swingers City closed permanently in early 2025 due to planned redevelopment. Its unique blend of mini golf, food, and nightlife left a lasting impression on London’s social scene. The Swingers brand continues to operate other venues, such as the West End location, preserving the spirit of fun and competitive socialising.
