Nestled in the heart of London’s British literary district, All Star Lanes is a charming bowling alley with an American 1950’s twist. Posters of pin-up girls are plastered onto the walls while Elvis and other American Bandstand regulars play from the jukebox. Bowlers can even purchase their own vintage bowling tee or dress. If you’re looking for a more British approach to bowling, try a Pimm’s Cup from the bar and take a break from your game of tenpin to order organic fish and chips from the restaurant.

Getting My Bowl On
In England, my shoe size is a 2. The magic of the tiny shoes helped me bowl a strike and two spares that night =)

Poster
Lots of old school concert posters and pin ups were all around.

Pin Up Girl
Terrible lighting, sorry about that. I'm not too camera savvy.
