Canary Wharf’s captivatingly colourful (and completely free to use) mini-golf course has officially tee-d off. Bridging the gap between golf course and art installation, the much-loved ‘Minigolf by Craig & Karl’ has landed in Montgomery Square, just in time for London’s sunny(ish) season.
The course is perched par-fectly amongst Canary Wharf‘s plethora of skyscrapers, injecting some much-needed colour into the (undeniably pretty drab) east London landscape. Designed by highly-acclaimed art duo, Craig Redman and Karl Maier, it’s sure to be the most good-looking golf course you’ve ever seen, featuring playful geometric shapes, bold colours, and striking patterns.
The course has been created to be enjoyed by those of all ages and skill levels. Difficult enough to make it enjoyable, but not so difficult that the nearby buildings risk having a club angrily flung through their window, you know? And the very best part: it won’t cost you a single penny to use. Just turn up, head over to one of the stewards, grab your equipment, and have a putting great time.
If mini-golf doesn’t take your fancy, there’s also colourful ping-pong tables dotted around the area. And they’re free to use, too. It’s nice to know that not every activity in the capital city will require you to take out a small mortgage in order to enjoy it.
You’ll find Minigolf by Craig and Karl at Montgomery Square in Canary Wharf until October 5. The course will be free-to-use and open from 12pm-6pm daily.
