Black_Ice931 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Hi all, me and my flatmate would like to start to play here, in UK. We live in London, but we don't know where we could go to play. Do you know any good place where to go? Indoor places would be better. Thanks and Happy new year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Gepard Posted January 1, 2018 Supporters Share Posted January 1, 2018 Welcome! I don't live in London, nor have I played at any of the sites nearby, however I've heard very good things about Ultimate Airsoft from a friend who played there recently. (edit: it appears they're relocating at the moment so that's out of the equation..) Alternatively there's Bunker 51 which for the most part has good reviews but, again, I can't comment on how good the site is as I've never personally played there. Both are CQC so take your pick. If you haven't already I'd advise reading the pinned posts which are a good source of information for any beginner looking to get into the sport. Have a happy new year!

Robert James Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Not too far from where I work. I work in Docklands and live in North London There is a couple in London but I've heard bad things about Bunker 51. There is red1 in Watford, battle lakes in Kent, awa Hertfordshire, dragons lair all around the northern parts of London (ISH) I don't go south of the river too often but going to go a bit more this new year. Going Portsmouth 21st Jan TechBrigade (Near Enfield) on 11th of Feb The Gaol in Leicester 11th of March if you and your mate want to join in on any Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We wanted to start with the 3 lessons to get the UKARA and to help him to gather some experience, for that would be the very first time. Are you in a team? Or just a group of friends? About the Bunker 51 what did you hear? We thought to go there to have those firsts games and then trying to find a team to join to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would pick your closest one to go to for UKARA registration, you can always go somewhere else after/in between Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immortal Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 There's TWA in Croydon, not too far from you. Small place but fun. Mixture of CQB and woodland. Bunker 51 is like playing in raw sewage, the stink will cling to you for days... fun place but very very gross. I couldn't go there more than once in this body.

Black_Ice931 Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 Oh. Maybe this is not the best place where to ask, but let's start here and maybe I could move somewhere else. Some feedback on first (again) gun and stuff to buy: Back in Italy I had a classic M4, but I left the country and I sold it; now I need to buy a new one. The budget is 150£ for the gun, or maybe some more if there is a reason to do that -> what would you recommend? I saw this one and it's in the budget. But I saw some feedback and there are a lot of different opinions. On websites/youtube they say this is a great gun, here that is just garbage, for the plastic components. Or should I stay on M4 series again from the beginning? I'm open to suggestions! Another important thing is about the face mask. I wear prescription glasses, so what do you suggest to buy? Face mask, maybe with detachable bottom part, would be better than goggles. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Prisce Posted January 3, 2018 Supporters Share Posted January 3, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Albiscuit Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDcase Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 '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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
