Feel the rush as you hit speeds of up to 40mph, skimming past corners and overtaking your mates. Average lap times are around 52 seconds, but hey, there’s no shame in a little friendly competition, right?

Hungry after your laps? Head to the Fuel Bar for some post-race snacks and drinks, or challenge your crew to a round of motorsport-themed crazy golf at the Putt Club next door.
Getting there is easy-ish – North Greenwich and Woolwich Dockyard are the closest stations, but they’re both a 30-minute walk away. Maybe don’t skip leg day or just call an Uber.
