Corporate karting and team building in London
8 tracks in London run team building events. The appeal is that karting is a genuine leveller: seniority stops mattering the moment the lights go out.
The 8 tracks
K1 Speed Canary Wharf
Canary Wharf, 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.
Revolution Karting
Mile End, 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.

Surbiton Raceway
Worcester Park, 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.

Minimum group sizes
The thing that catches groups out. Below the minimum you either pay for absent drivers or book an open session instead.
What to look for
Team endurance formats
Drivers share a kart and swap over across an hour or more. Far better for building a team than everyone racing individually, and often cheaper per head because it is priced per kart.
Invoicing and payment terms
Most operators take card on the day. Fewer will invoice a company on thirty days, and it is worth asking before you commit.
A room to use
Meeting or dining space on site turns half a day into a full one and saves moving everybody twice.
Something for non-drivers
Height, weight or medical limits will rule someone out. Sites with a simulator or a second activity handle that gracefully.
Questions worth asking
- Can you invoice us rather than taking payment on the day?
- What is the per-kart price for endurance, and how many drivers can share one?
- Do you have a room we can use before or after?
- What happens if someone cannot drive on the day?
