Stressed out in London? Throw an axe

Release your urbanite rage

‘Urban axe throwing’ has hit London, an activity billed as ‘the most satisfying day or night out you’ll ever have’ which sees guests hurl axes down a range.

The first and only urban axe throwing venue in the UK, Whistle Punks is located in a purpose-built temple near Brick Lane area, with new throwing venues expected to open across the UK soon.

There is music at the range, which accepts group bookings of up to 14, but understandably no booze.

“Our instructors will kick off your 1.5hr axetravaganza with a safety briefing and then move on to the throwing techniques you’ll need to get you sinking some axes,” its website explains. “Once you’ve got the hang of that, it’s onto the tournament.

“You’ll get one point for an outer ring, three for the inner ring, five for a bullseye and, if you’re feeling lucky you can bet it all and aim for the tiny seven-point corner spots.”

Whistle Punks is priced at £30 per person (1-7 players) and £25 per person (8-14 players).
