TOCA Social London: You Can Walk In Without Playing

Play from 10 pounds, boxes hold twelve, and the booking fee is charged per transaction rather than per person. You can also walk in and use the bar without playing at all.

Players on an indoor football pitch, the game TOCA Social is built around

You can walk into TOCA Social and never kick a ball.

Booking a box is optional. Walk-ins can use the food, the drinks, the foosball tables, the arcades and the selfie booths without playing at all.

That is the thing nobody mentions about it. The interactive football is what it sells, but the building also works as a bar with games in it, and that costs nothing to walk into.

£10 to play, and a fee you pay once

Play from £10 per person. Prices vary by venue, day, time and availability.

An online booking fee applies per transaction.

Read that carefully, because it is per transaction and not per person. A group of twenty booking as one transaction pays the fee once. The same twenty booking as four separate groups of five pays it four times.

So nominate one person to book for everybody.

Each box holds twelve

A private box accommodates 12 players.

That number decides the shape of your group. Thirteen people means two boxes. Twenty-four fills two exactly.

Online booking covers 2 to 48 players. Above that, groups of 49 or more go through the Events Team, as can anything bespoke for 25 to 48.

One small inconsistency on their own site: the group booking link is labelled 24 to 48 in one menu and 25 to 48 in another. Either way, the online self-service ceiling is 48.

Only two London venues, and they are not central

The O2, London.

Westfield White City, London.

Both are destinations rather than places you pass. The O2 is North Greenwich on the Jubilee line, Westfield White City is Shepherd’s Bush. There is no central London site, which is worth knowing before you suggest it for after-work drinks.

Outside London there is Birmingham Bullring, and internationally Dallas, Paris CNIT and Monterrey.

Christmas is cheaper per head than you would guess

Christmas packages start from £15 per person.

Five pounds over the base play price for a full package is unusually tight for a December booking in London, where most competitive socials add a significant premium.

What else is on

Their standing programme includes a student discount, a happy hour, and live football screenings on giant screens, so it doubles as a sports bar on match days.

For October half term 2026 they are running Attack of the Zombies, a Halloween version with interactive football games and a zombie game, aimed at children.

They also run adult birthdays, kids’ parties, stag and hen dos, corporate events and brand partnerships.

How to plan it

From £10 a head to play.

Book as one transaction, because the fee is charged per booking, not per person.

Group size: 12 per box. Up to 48 online, 49 or more through the Events Team.

Not playing: just walk in for the bar, foosball, arcades and screens.

Christmas: packages from £15 a head.

Getting there: North Greenwich for The O2, Shepherd’s Bush for White City. There is no central venue.

The booking fee is charged per transaction rather than per person, so one group booking once pays it once while four smaller bookings pay it four times. Each box holds 12 players. You can walk in and use the bar, foosball, arcades and screens without playing at all. Both London venues are at The O2 and Westfield White City, with nothing in central London.

Where to go next

Electric Shuffle and bowling are the other competitive socials, with different group caps.

The O2 covers the rest of that site, and activities for adults covers the category.
