If you can’t pull yourself to the city’s outskirts, head to the premiere indoor golf destination instead. Urban Golf first opened in 2004, and while it doesn’t offer the open space and fresh air experience of some other entries on this list, it has some of the best technology and the best vibes to boot. Players can challenge themselves on one of the 11 state-of-the-art simulators, practising driving or picking one of more than 100 courses to play. Afterwards, unwind with a cocktail, craft beer or a burger, watch sports on the big screens, or dance along to tunes from the in house DJ. urbangolf.co.uk

Despite its name, World of Golf is situated in Surrey – though it is, granted, a stone’s throw from the city. Being so close to the city has made it one of Europe’s most popular driving ranges, housing 60 bays set over two tiers, each with Power Tee mats delivering each ball to the tee automatically. Overlooking the huge, floodlit course, visitors can practice their swing with the help of Toptracer technology screens in every bay. Plus, video coaching studios are available, as well as PGA Qualified Instructors on site. worldofgolf.co.uk

Specialising in golf, tennis and skiing, this west London driving range has the most prim and proper setting on the list, situated in the grounds of a former stately home. There’s a huge nine-hole par three golf course that backs onto a driving range with 50 bays alongside a five-hole academy course. Plus, pick up another skill on the four clay and five hard tennis courts, or gliding down the indoor ski slope. dukesmeadows.com
