I went karting for a team event today. We went to the newly opened Capital Karts here in London.
I was particularly surprised at the location of the circuit: Canary Wharf — London’s financial district. They’re far closer to central London than almost all other karting options. This made it a no brainer for us to choose them because it was easy for many folks in my team to get to and from the event.
I also anticipate they were able to get real estate in such a prominent area because they’ve set up their circuit four stories underground in a repurposed car park. They’ve done great work turning the space into a circuit, and we had a lot of fun slipping and sliding around in their electric karts.
They’re a great example of 1) the importance of choosing a great location, and 2) being creative with space constraints.
