New in London

[Black_Ice931]

You could hire in some places if you just want to get into it, or buy a two tone

I'd like to join a team, one day or another, and for that I'm gonna need a "black" one

Defo best to hire out for the first game or 2 to make sure that you will both enjoy it. Otherwise you will end up having bought a gun that you won't use and even the cheaper of the good guns are not completely cheap.

I am new to this too and I am going to hire out on my first go next month.

I've already played for a while, and him is very intentioned to buy it too, so this wouldn't be a serious problem

You can modify AFTER you have your defence. So it doesn’t matter if it’s two tone to begin with, if you get the stock and rail two tone(as long as over 51%) you can replace with black parts as soon as you have your UKARA.

If you ever come north of the M25, give us a shout, we shall try and come and meet ya.

I started my "team"/group of mates that go airsoft together whilst I had a two tone. If anyone was coming along with us/"joined" us, we wouldn't care if it was two tone, black, tan or clear as long as the banter was good and they don't take life to seriously.

Im from north london and tend to play:

The Mall (Reading)

Elite Action Games (Dorking)

Dragons Lair (Brentwood, Essex)

Played Bunker 51 a few times, basically its 40 odd people in a place suitable for 15!! faaar too small to actually enjoy yourself and quite frustrating to play. I prefer Mall any day even with the drive. 

But then locations depend on if you have access to a car (opens up a LOT more sites if your prepared to drive 90 mins and wheter you want to play woodland or CQB (not so much choice down this way for local CQB except Bunker or The Mall).

But otherwise welcome to the forums and hopefully see you through my red dot one time

'Absolute Airsoft' is near 'The Mall' in Reading if you want to do woodland in that area.

Not the best in game types but nice and cheap at £20 (walkon) including a hot dog for lunch.

My friend wants to buy a specific model and he needs the UKARA, I'll take the chance to do it myself too

Would be great knowing so many place, but we don't have a car :'(

Not having transport is a serious disadvantage. The best places are worth travelling too and with the equipment you need taking public transport/trains is doable but not something I would like to do.

The Mall in Reading is right next to the train station and easy to get too from London, theres a couple of the old regulars who took trains there.

Other than that all the woodland sites are a pain unless you drive.

The place I play does a prebooked pickup service from the local train station to the site. I'm sure they charge a small fee but cheaper than a taxi. I do see some people walking in too but it's a fair old walk.

Cool idea.

Im in south london, normally play at the Mall, or Iron Site near Basingstoke. Both really difficult to get to without  a car (ok the Mall probably isnt that hard but its a ballache getting into central london for a train to Reading from where I live, it'd be like a 2-3 hour trip each way compared to a 1hr drive). Theres also TWA in Croydon/New Addington, I've been there a few times, probably wont go again. Theres a few sites further south towards Guildford and Kent that Ive been meaning to try at some point too.

But the summary is, without a car its awkward! Theres a few CQB sites in London but whether theyre actually any good or not I dont know. Ive not been to Bunker51, Ive been put off by the cost. Might go some day. But I'm not keen on the idea of paying £25 for 2-3 hours, I want a full day of airsofting for that price.

This is also a factor for me, I get london rents and prices are high etc... But Can get a day at Dorking or Dragons lair for that price and have so much more fun!!

Well. I need to find a team with cars lol

I didn't think there where place so cheap in UK

Fair enough. You can get them two toned, but I can understand why you/he may not want to.

The mall is £37 for the day, pricey but worth it. I have heard of places £10-£15 for the day too.. But I suspect they have no frills and basic amenities and/or bung 200 players in one field, both of which dont appeal to me

I think we'll just wait, for now..

Still..40£ for an entire day is ok. Better than 30 for a couple of hrs lol

If you hop on the northbound train from Kings X, there are 2 new sites to RIFT Airsoft: Harmergreen Wood at Knebworth, and The Village at Royston - I'm sure you'd be able to get lifts from the stations. There's a Royston one on the 21st this month.
