Superb oche area, with plenty of chalkboard space. Good beer, including a guest ale (harveys at time of writing).

The Royal Albert, South Lambeth
Don't bother going in to play darts, as there isn't a board. Beer pretty poor too.

As mentioned above, has 2 dartboards. Unfortunately they are purely for decoration, as the tables on the oche's are permanently occupied. Maybe if you pop in at 7am after getting bored of arranging oranges in a body-centred cubic lattice you might get close enough to a board to open the cabinet. Undeniably superb beer, particularly if you enjoy being served short measures by eastern Europeans.

Darts area tucked away to the back of the pub. You might find a few tables on the oche, but if you find them unoccupied and move them aside, you will find an excellent darts cabinet housing a good board. In fact, an excellent place to throw, and good beers too from the Fullers/Gales range.

Dodgy dartboard can be reached by moving a table or two. Good beer.

The Royal Standard, Wandsworth
As long as there isn't a big rugby game on the TV, an excellent place for some darts. Beer reasonable.

The Scarborough Arms, Whitechapel
Good darts pub. Dedicated area downstairs, with upstairs also available for darts on some match nights. Good beer.

The Exmouth Arms, Exmouth Market
Nice well-lit dartboard. A small table often finds it's way onto the oche, but can usually be moved without causing any inconvenience. Beer not bad.

One of Londons best darts pubs, one permanent oche, up to five in total on big darts occasions. Good beer.

The Horseshoe Inn, London Bridge
Excellent oche, acceptable beer. The board is well used, and is a blade III so can't be that old. One small criticism is that it if you move to the right on the oche you hit a wall.

A pub which is the home venue for a couple of darts teams, though in the absence of organised darts you can often turn up and find a table on the oche with a family of 12 tucking into their dinner. Good beer.

Unfortunately the advertised 'Dartboard' is actually an empty darts cabinet. Arghhhhh.

OK, great beer. Unfortunately, rubbish for darts. 2 boards, as advertised above, but both have tables on the oche, which are generally occupied. Dartboards aren't ornaments you know. Disappointing in a pub which clearly tries to be traditional.

OK darts area. Maybe slightly too close to the pool tables, which seem to often be full of city tossers playing a 25-person game of killer. Karaoke can also get in the way of darts. Beer poor.

Excellent place for darts, dedicated oche area, you're never going to turn up and find a table of people eating their dinner on the oche. Beer just about drinkable.

Good ache area, occasional problems if someone is sitting on one small nearby table, otherwise, a nice throw. Beer ok.

The Hope, Tottenham Court Road
Head up the stairs, what's this in the corner? Hurrah, a darts cabinet. Open it up, oh dear. There is a round thing which looks like a dartboard but isn't. OK beer at least.

The Surprise at Pimlico, Pimlico
OK dartboard though the lack of any marks on the floor to show where to throw from is a bit of a problem. Beer OK.
