The Berkeley Group has unveiled its first ever e-darts space at Grand Union in Wembley. Delivered by St George, this new amenity isn’t just a nod to the game, it is a sign that residential developments are ever-changing, catering to the needs of those who value in-person connection and activity.
Following a series of high profile wins, including taking home the trophy at the Premier League, Grand Slam of Darts, and the World Darts Championship, Luke Littler’s success has seen darts become a popular, more mainstream sport.
In fact, more than 100,000 children were said to have opened Luke Littler-branded magnetic dartboards during Christmas 2024, and since he burst onto the scene there has also been a surge in junior darts academies opening. Now, the craze has made its way into the design of residential spaces too.
At Grand Union, the interactive darts offering harnesses systems that allows for the most accurate auto-scoring technology on the market, surpassing the level of accuracy that other, camera-based systems can provide. The smartboard detects the darts precisely where they land, and instantly displays the scores on the large screen tv alongside the game-play graphics.
The e-darts space forms part of Grand Union’s exclusive resident facilities called The Lock which also comprises a two-lane, ten-pin bowling alley with a jukebox and an entertainment room for film nights, gaming and karaoke. Think of this as your own private arcade – a perfect hangout where kids can compete while adults enjoy a drink with friends and connect over a game or two.
The fun continues at Grand Union, home to Full of Beans soft play, and a variety of outdoor spaces including rooftop terraces, podium gardens and a beautifully landscaped waterside piazza - perfect for making the most of the sunshine this summer.
Throughout the year, Grand Union also hosts a lively calendar of family-friendly events, bringing the community together with something for everyone to enjoy. And if that wasn’t enough, Grand Union is home to a number of eateries and leisure amenities including an Anytime Fitness gym, Peapods nursery, a Co-op store and Crepes+Coffee café, which operates from the development’s narrowboat PAVO.
What’s more, the Grand Union development is a dream come true for sports lovers and city commuters alike. Perfectly located just one stop from Wembley Central on the Lioness Line via nearby Stonebridge Park station, and only seven stops from London Euston, the canalside community hits the bullseye when it comes to location.
