Problem Solved! Escape Rooms
Escape rooms offer a fantastic opportunity for a fun team activity. Aimscape and Breakin' Escape are two venues that provide a wide variety of rooms and experiences. Additionally, some escape rooms provide themed packages designed especially for team building.
Your group may need to be divided into smaller teams for this form of team building, but this can be an opportunity to mix up individuals who don't often get the chance to interact (or an opportunity for Deb and Mike to settle their spreadsheet argument).
The same amazing experience can be had by your team in multiple locations that even feature more than one of the same room.
Tech Crazy Golf, Puttshack
Puttshack has two sites throughout London and has essentially changed the way crazy golf is done. The Puttshack courses use technology to track the ball and the course, eliminating scorecards (and the opportunity to cheat!).
The ingenious technology allows each ball to precisely track its movement and number of hits. Your day out here will be both incredibly engaging and a lot of fun thanks to the atmosphere, which resembles a form of techno paradise.
Jury Duty Live
In the acclaimed immersive experience Jury Duty, you'll need to cooperate to question the defendant and examine the evidence, which includes sworn statements and a computer database. You decide if he is guilty or not.
All Star Lanes
All Star Lanes Bowling is an excellent venue for amazing food, drink, and cutting-edge bowling.
Your team building day will be catered for thanks to the facility's capacity to hold events for up to 520 persons. Four sites give flexibility and enable you to experience your piece of America! It's a tried-and-true recipe for wonderful food, drinks, bowling, and pure enjoyment with an American twist.
TOCA Social Greenwich
Playing rounds of virtual football games on TOCA Social will help you and your team bond over the love of the beautiful game. The indoor team building activities at the Greenwich location offers something for people of all skill levels, and there are lots of additional team building games to explore afterward, such as foosball, video game arcades, and photo booths.
Sweet Workshops
Looking for team building ideas combined with a sweet treat? You're in luck!
Meringue's modern obsession has at last made it into the world of teambuilding! If you want to learn how to make those delightful sweet delicacies that often arrive in a box that is too little, take a look at places like The Meringue Girls.
Add some bubbly Prosecco in the experience so that team building activities can prove to be memorable (we hope!) and deliciously unforgettable.
Boat Trips
If you're a bit more adventurous and are looking for outdoor team building activities, why not hop on a boat along the mighty River Thames?
You can go on a guided canoe journey down the river with your group. This is a terrific approach to get everyone outside and slightly push their comfort zones.
Another option is to rent a bigger boat like The Elizabethan or West End on the Thames, which provide catered events for a midweek lunch or early evening gathering with drinks. Followed by a night out on the town, an evening of pure sophistication!
Why should you organise team building events?
Let's face it: when your team spends most of their days glued to spreadsheets and Slack, it’s easy for team dynamics to get a little... stale.
That’s where team building events swoop in to save the day! And not just any events – we’re talking unusual team building activities that shake things up, spark friendly competition, and (gasp!) actually make everyone want to participate.
Whether it's belting out ballads in a Lucky Voice karaoke room or cracking codes in an escape room, team building in London is all about getting the whole team out of the office and into the fun zone. These experiences don't just boost morale; they also sharpen those all-important leadership skills and build connections faster than you can say "Barry Manilow medley."
Unusual team building events help break down barriers and let colleagues see each other in a whole new light (yes, Steve from accounting does know all the words to "Livin' on a Prayer"). Plus, with Central London offering endless options for quirky venues and wild experiences, you’re guaranteed to create unforgettable memories that’ll have your team buzzing long after the event.
So, swap the yawns for yays, level up those team dynamics, and get ready to turn "just colleagues" into a truly connected crew. After all, the team that sings (or escapes, or golfs) together, wins together!
