3 circuits in Greater London run arrive & drive events. Turn up, sign a form, drive.
Canary Wharf, London, Greater London
K1 Speed Canary Wharf is the UK site of an international chain with more than a hundred locations, and it is one hundred per cent electric. The karts are indoor and battery powered, which puts it in a small group alongside Revolution Karting on the other side of the city.
Mile End, London, Greater London
Revolution Karting sits in the arches on Burdett Road at Mile End, and is London's most central outdoor kart track. Genuine tarmac, 450 metres, open all year in all but extreme weather, and running for over twenty years.

Worcester Park, Greater London
Surbiton Raceway at Worcester Park runs three separate outdoor tracks, which is more than almost anywhere else we list, and it means the age bands are properly catered for rather than fudged with restricted karts.

The thing that catches groups out. Below the minimum you either pay for absent drivers or book an open session instead.
We calculate it the same way for every track: price divided by minutes on track. It is the only way to compare a 20-minute session against a 30-minute one.
At the same price per minute, a 750m circuit gives you nearly twice the driving of a 400m one. We show the distance you would cover.
Balaclavas, gloves and licence fees are often mandatory and rarely in the headline price. Every listing shows them.
Some tracks genuinely take walk-ins. Most reserve track time, and turning up without a booking means waiting or leaving.
