Team Building Ideas in London That Aren’t Cringe
Let’s be honest. Most team building ideas are either boring, awkward or best left in 2013. If the thought of trust falls or “two truths and a lie” makes you want to call in sick, you’re not alone.
Here are some genuinely fun, engaging and actually effective team building ideas in London, ones your team will talk about for the right reasons.
1. Take Part in a Live Game Show
If you want something high energy and ridiculously fun, Show Time London delivers a full TV-style game show where your team is the star.
It’s fast-paced, fully hosted and packed with buzzer rounds, shout-offs, bluffing games and challenges that get everyone involved. Teams compete, shout, laugh and somehow bond without even trying.
Perfect for:
Summer parties
Away days
Team socials that need more than just a pub and a panic
2. Do a City-Wide Scavenger Hunt
Skip the generic treasure hunts. Go for one that’s actually designed for fun. We run a proper London scavenger hunt with creative clues, location-based challenges and bonus rounds that aren’t just “take a selfie with a statue.”
It gets people moving, thinking and working together without a clipboard in sight.
3. Host a Race Night at the Office
Yes, it’s pig racing. No, they’re not real. But it’s one of the best things you can do with a group of colleagues and a stack of fake money.
We bring in toy pigs, your team bets on the outcome, and chaos unfolds. It’s fast, funny and perfect for evenings where you want a proper shared experience that doesn’t involve a karaoke machine.
4. Try Musical Bingo
Not your nan’s bingo night. This version is packed with throwback tracks, themed playlists and competitive chaos. Everyone gets a printed bingo sheet and the songs start playing. When you hear yours, you mark it. Simple, fast and surprisingly loud.
It works for mixed teams and gives everyone an excuse to sing, dance or at least lip-sync badly.
Why These Work Better Than “Classic” Team Building
They don’t feel like work. They’re inclusive. They create shared memories without forcing it. And most importantly, they let people drop their guard, relax and actually enjoy being part of a team.
Team building doesn’t have to mean lectures or Lego towers. It just has to get people to show up, take part and have a good time.
