Roxy Ball Room, the bar and games operator owned by Professionals at Play, will open its third London site on Old Street this summer, expanding its presence in the capital with a 13,500 sq ft venue offering a whole range of activities including American pool, tech darts, tech shuffle, karaoke, duck pin bowling and basketball, to name a few.

The new venue will will operate as an over-18s site into the late evening, and will offer the brand’s full range of games under one roof, all to a signature rock and indie soundtrack. Keeping everyone going, there’s a bar serving cocktails, classic drinks and American-style food.

Roxy Ball Room was founded by brothers Matt Jones and Ben Jones, with the first site opening on Boar Lane, Leeds in December 2013. The company has since expanded to 19 venues nationwide, trading as both Roxy Ball Room and Roxy Lanes. This latest announcement follows the company’s London debut in April 2025, when it opened its flagship site on St Mary Axe. Another London venue is also scheduled to open in High Holborn in 2026, and the Old Street site will for launch this July, bringing the fun to one of London’s established nightlife districts, close to Shoreditch and the City fringe. 

Joel Mitchell, marketing director at Roxy Leisure, said: “Bringing Roxy Ball Room to London last year was an amazing experience, and we’re thrilled to open our second and third sites this year. The Roxy experience has been a huge hit in the capital, and players can look forward to even more exciting games, great food and drinks, and the unbeatable vibes Roxy is known for.”
