The long read worth saving for nap time
What’s it actually like?
Crazy Putt London is a solid 18-hole mini golf course in East London, near the O2/Greenwich area. The reviews suggest it’s based on real-life golf holes rather than the usual windmills-and-neon nonsense, so it feels a bit more grown-up than many indoor mini golf spots. That’s good news if you want something that actually keeps older children and adults interested. People praise the value, the length of the course, and the fact it can take a decent chunk of time — one review says 1.5 hours for a single game. It also sounds pleasantly uncrowded at quieter times, with friendly staff and a decent view of Greenwich. The downsides are fairly clear too: some holes are repetitive, the design can be frustrating, and there’s no obvious storage or table setup for drinks. It’s also not the sort of place for toddlers or anyone who needs constant novelty; if you want silly themed obstacles, this may feel a bit plain. But for families with school-age children, it sounds like a sensible, good-value outing rather than an Instagram trap.

Quick read
18-hole mini golf based on real courses, so it’s more skill than gimmicks. Good value, especially for students, and usually calm enough not to feel like a cattle market. Best for children who can cope with waiting a turn and a few tricky holes.
