Airsoft sites near London

[Rawhead Rex]

Anyone know of any decent airsoft sites close to London that have been in use recently? I usually go to absolute airsoft in reading which i think is great but all woodland so looking for any CQB or woodland sites with good structures.

Welcome to the madhouse.

 

Which side of london? West? I'm over in the south east, the sites i go to may be a bit of a trek.....?

As far as CQB is concerned, pretty much every CQB place is limited to very small venues due to cost of buildings in the London area. I have compiled a list of all the sites that are Public Transportable and up to an hour of walking from Central London. To be honest there are very few additional sites that require a car to get to anyway and none of them CQB as far as I can say. 

 

Outdoors, Pure Woodland or Woodland with few structures considering it's size in Green
Outdoor sites with a specific CQB section(s) of a reasonable size in Blue
Urban sites (Has a mixture of Outdoor/Woodland with significant Man made structures not purpose built for Airsoft) in Purple

Pure CQB in RED

Sites within the M25. 

Bunker 51

Red 1 Chislehurst

Tactical Warfare Croydon

Mayhem Airsoft Abridge

D&A Dropzone

Incursion Airsoft "The Tunnels"

 

Sites just outside the M25

 

Reforger

Red 1 The School

Red 1 Oblivion

Ultimate Wargames

Ambush Airsoft

Campaign Airsoft

South Herts Airsoft

 

Sites a bit further away but possible to reach with public transport and less than an hour of walking. 

 

Airsoft Plantation

Skirmish Billericay

Dragons Lair (Moving soon to a place that's easier to get to on public transport)

CAMO Canvey Island

Driver Wood (But the CQB specific sections are hardly used for Airsoft anymore)

Dogtag

Skirmish Wycombe

Battle Sector X

Future Survival Gravesend

Invicta Black Site **
Imperium
Splatoon

Hockley Arena

** Reachable via Train on Saturday games only, the first Sunday train is too late to arrive in time

 

The only pure indoor CQB sites are Bunker 51, Incursion, CAMO, Future Survival, Battle Sector X, Hockley Arena and Invicta Black Site. The largest being, Incursion and Black Site.

If you have a car than RIFTS The Battery would be well worth the trip as it is a mix of Indoor and Outdoor CQB which is pretty unique in the South East. 

Splatoon is kind of urban considering a 1/3rd of the playing area is taken up by a shipping container area which is pretty good. Red 1 The School uses an old school for half the day but its very limited in terms of a playing area.

Do you mean Imperium? Invicta Black is about a two minute walk from a train station.

It was more of a case whether it was possible to get there before games started via Public transport. I am aware its right next to Yalding station. I believe it is possible for Saturday games, but not Sunday games.

Ah gotcha. Similar names and Imperium is a decent drive from a main road, never mind public transport!

 

What I've found the London area is missing is a good FIBUA site, like Anzio. It either seems to be pure woodland, or CQB but no building to build stuff but I guess that's just a space in the South East issue.

It certainly isn't easy to get to Imperium. But if you are a fast walker you can just about get there for 9AM.

Getting to Black Site ftom London before games start on a sunday is possible. Granted it's cutting it close though as the train arrives 5 minutes before they shut the gates

We've been late... more than once, they're generally accommodating if you warn them ahead of time and have a good reason (such as due to train times)
