Its name might not leave much to the imagination but that does nothing to negate the charm of Bayswater’s iconic Queens Skate Dine Bowl. Boasting a 1,100 square-metre ice rink, a burger restaurant, and 12 bowling lanes, the Queensway fun palace has been a popular choice for generations of west Londoners’ childhood birthday parties. What’s more, this isn’t just any old all-year-round ice rink (although in central London, that is a rarity), but the oldest one in the UK, having been hosting skaters since it was built, way back in 1930, when it was founded by entrepreneur and ice skating enthusiast Arthur Octavius Edwards. As well as standard ice skating sessions – by which we mean ‘slowly shuffling around the edges while clinging to the railings for dear life’ sessions – it also hosts skating lessons, ice curling sessions and even the ‘ice karting’.
Curling is bowling’s wonderfully weird cousin, and it is BAAAACKKK and only at QUEENS on real ice this Winter!

Hosting a private event?
This venue has areas available to hire for private events
NEW FOR 2021 - Brand new arcades; with retro vibes & of course dividers between bowling lanes, a reduced ice-rink capacity, and socially distanced dining - all to keep you safe whilst you hang out.
We've got:
12x main bowling lanes, awash with a blue neon script and industrial decor. Each lane has its own table and seating booth for MEATliquor's drinks & bites.
5x VIP lanes, aka "the liquor lanes" - slightly trippy and super slick ruby-red bowling lanes, complete with a dedicated host, private bar access & VOID sound system.
A whopping ice-rink, with state-of-the-art lighting and some seriously comfy skates.
from kids lessons to late-night DJ nights - we're cool all year round.
We'll be bringing back curling, real curling. On real ice. For xmas 2021.
Watch this space.
We can't wait to see you & get London rocking n rolling again!
PS, we've also got:
• 2 person and classic arcade games + a pool table + photobooths.
• The only west London outpost of MEATliquor.
• Bar, lounge & lane-side waiter service.
• DJs & a couple of cafés too!
A great man once said that "QUEENS is a one-stop-fun-shop" and we agree!
