If you live or work around Canary Wharf, Greenwich or Lewisham and fancy a round of golf without a long drive out of the city, indoor golf is closer than you think. The City Golf Club sits in Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, a short hop across South East London, with tour-grade Trackman iO simulators, coaching and a proper club atmosphere. Here is why it is worth the short trip.
A short hop across South East London
The club is five minutes on foot from Woolwich Elizabeth line station, which changes what counts as local. From Canary Wharf you are around 14 minutes on the Elizabeth line. Greenwich, Lewisham, Blackheath, Charlton and Eltham are all a short journey by train, DLR or car. For a lot of people in this part of London, it is the nearest premium indoor golf there is, and far closer than heading into central London for a bay.
For the Canary Wharf crowd
If you work in the Wharf, indoor golf is an easy after-work plan that beats another evening in a bar. Book a bay for an hour, bring a few colleagues, and play a famous course or run a longest-drive competition. The club is open until 11pm, so there is no rush, and the members' co-working space means some people treat it as a place to work and play in the same visit.
For Greenwich, Lewisham and the wider South East
For locals, this is a golf club on your doorstep without the drive to a course in Kent or the suburbs. Whether you are a complete beginner wanting to try the game, a parent squeezing in practice around family life, or an experienced golfer keeping sharp over winter, it is close, warm and open early until late every day.
