F1 Drive London at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium combines an F1-themed experience with three track formats, including a 500-metre, 17-turn Super Circuit. K1 Speed Canary Wharf offers straightforward adult and junior electric arrive-and-drive racing on one indoor track. Gravity MAX Stratford City provides multi-level indoor electric karting inside Westfield Stratford City. All three are weather-independent, but their locations, driver requirements and booking formats differ, so compare the full journey and current session rules rather than choosing on headline claims alone.

London karting FAQs

Ready to hit the grid in the capital? From the F1-inspired straights of North London to the digital battlegrounds of Stratford, London’s tracks offer a diverse range of high-tech challenges. We’ve answered the most common questions to help you prepare for your session at these premier venues.

F1 Drive is at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, K1 Speed is in Canary Wharf and Gravity MAX is inside Westfield Stratford City. All three are indoor electric venues.

F1 Drive publishes a 500-metre Super Circuit with 17 turns. K1 Speed and Gravity MAX do not currently publish comparable definitive track lengths, so unsupported length claims should not decide the choice.

F1 Drive offers age-specific karting from age eight, and K1 Speed provides separate junior racing subject to its height rules. Gravity MAX Stratford City currently requires drivers to be at least 14 and 145 centimetres tall.

F1 Drive is an F1-themed electric karting experience at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. It has Future Stars, Sprint and Super Circuit formats rather than one single track configuration.

The current official K1 Speed page describes one challenging indoor track but does not publish a 1,050-metre length. The previous claim should therefore not be relied on.

That depends on the starting point. F1 Drive is beside Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, K1 is in Canary Wharf and Gravity MAX is at Westfield Stratford City, all with nearby rail or Underground connections.

The three venues in this guide are indoors, so ordinary rain does not affect the track. Travel disruption or exceptional operating conditions can still affect a visit.

No previous karting experience is normally required for the public formats. Attend the safety briefing and book the age- and height-appropriate session.

Wear closed-toe shoes and comfortable clothing, tie back long hair and follow the venue safety instructions. Required helmets and track equipment are supplied.

Yes. Advance booking is strongly recommended because sessions can sell out and age-specific products may run only at selected times.
