TeamSport Brent Cross

About TeamSport Brent Cross

TeamSport Brent Cross is unusual among London karting venues: it sits up on the fourth floor of the Brent Cross Shopping Centre, and it is built as much for a family afternoon out as for a race. Rather than a single circuit, the site has three separate indoor tracks — a full racing circuit, a shorter fun track, and a dedicated Mini Racer track for the youngest visitors — all using electric karts. Alongside the karting you'll find eight bowling lanes, pool tables and an arcade, so a group can mix racing with other activities in one trip. That breadth is what sets it apart from a straight arrive-and-drive centre.

The Circuit

The main racing track runs to roughly 400 metres, wound tightly into the building with the quick change-of-direction you'd expect from an indoor floorplan. Because it's electric, the karts pull away cleanly with no gears and no engine noise, which keeps the focus on lines and braking rather than managing revs. TeamSport quote a top speed of around 45mph for the adult Ecovolt karts, and the layout is short enough that consistency across a run of laps counts for more than any single flying lap. Newcomers pick it up quickly; regulars still have room to chip away at their times.

Who Should Visit

This is one of the most family-friendly TeamSport sites in the capital. Standard racing is open from age 8 upward, but the separate Mini Racer track caters for children aged 4 to 7 (roughly 1.0m to 1.4m tall), which is rare — most London tracks simply turn younger kids away. That makes Brent Cross a genuine option for a mixed-age group or a younger child's birthday. Adults and teens after a competitive session are well served too, and the bowling, pool and arcade give non-drivers something to do while others race. Corporate groups and party bookings are both catered for.

Planning Your Visit

You'll find the venue on Red car park level 4 at Brent Cross Shopping Centre, 4 Prince Charles Drive, London NW4 3FP. Being fully indoors, it runs whatever the weather, and the mall setting means shops, more food options and free parking are right on the doorstep.

By Tube, Brent Cross and Hendon Central (both Northern line) are the nearest stations, so it's reachable without a car. On site there's a bar and food menu — burgers, pizzas, hot dogs and the like — plus high chairs and baby-changing, reflecting how much the venue is geared towards families.

Pricing sits in the mid range for London karting, and TeamSport usually offer a discount for booking online ahead of time. Weekends and school holidays get busy given the shopping-centre footfall, so reserve in advance and confirm current session times and prices with the venue before you travel.
