About TeamSport Edmonton

Edmonton is the odd one out among London's TeamSport venues — and, for a lot of drivers, the pick of them. While Brent Cross, Acton and Docklands all run near-silent electric karts, Edmonton has stuck with petrol machines, so you get the engine note, the vibration and the real motorsport feel that electric can't reproduce. TeamSport bill it as North London's longest track, and at 800 metres over two levels it backs that up. There's also a nine-hole Putt Club mini golf course on site if the group wants a second activity.

The Circuit

This is a proper drivers' track. The 800m layout spreads across two levels and packs in nine corners — a mix of hairpins and banked turns linked by a flyover and wide straights that give you a genuine run at overtaking. Adult karts are petrol-powered, so power builds through the rev range and you feel every bit of grip and slip through the seat, which rewards smooth, committed driving. It's approachable for a first go, but the length and the elevation mean experienced racers keep finding time as they learn it.

Who Should Visit

If you specifically want petrol karting in London, Edmonton is the obvious choice, and it appeals to anyone who finds electric racing a bit clinical. Racing runs from age 8 up with no experience needed — helmet and overalls are handed out on arrival. The long, technical circuit makes it a favourite for stag and hen groups, work socials and corporate race days, while birthday parties and the mini golf broaden it out for mixed groups. It leans competitive and energetic rather than gentle, so it's better suited to older kids, teens and adults than to very young children.

Planning Your Visit

You'll find TeamSport Edmonton at 30 Nobel Road, London N18 3BA, in the Meridian Water regeneration area of the Lee Valley. It's fully indoors with free on-site parking, a bar and a food menu, so it runs all year whatever the weather.

There's no Tube nearby: Meridian Water, Edmonton Green and Silver Street stations are each around a 30-minute walk, and the 192 bus to Angel Road (Stop N) leaves you about 10 minutes away. For most visitors, driving or a short taxi from the North Circular is the easiest option.

Prices are mid-range for London karting, usually with a discount for booking online ahead. Petrol slots and weekend sessions get booked up, so reserve in advance and confirm current times and rates with the venue before you set off.
