The 4 Best Rage Rooms in London
Bats, crowbars and a room full of things to smash: London's best stress-relief by demolition.
In short: our top picks are Smash It Rage Rooms, The Smash Lab and Wreck Room. 4 places in total, chosen on merit, with the full reasoning below.
The rage room is exactly what it sounds like: a room of glass, ceramics and old electronics, a boiler suit, a blunt instrument and permission to destroy the lot. London has a small but genuine cluster of them, most run in short, sharp fifteen to forty-five minute sessions. It is more cathartic than it has any right to be, and better with a friend egging you on. Bring closed shoes and leave the good clothes at home.

Before you book
Sessions start from around £25 for fifteen minutes and are strictly over-18 at most venues, with safety gear provided. Book at least a week ahead for weekend slots, since the rooms are small and turn over fast. Weekday evenings tend to have the best availability and the odd promotional rate.
