The Chandos

If you want to throw darts in the heart of London, The Chandos on St Martin’s Lane is hard to beat. Just off Trafalgar Square, this Sam Smith’s pub manages to hide a genuine darting oasis in a tucked-away ground floor corner.

The board area is separate enough from the main bar that you can throw in peace even when the pub is busy. Sam Smith’s pricing makes a session here remarkably affordable for a pub this central. One of the strongest recommendations on the site.
