Arbitrager 27a Throgmorton Street
EC2N 2AN

Assuming you manage to find the place – which is a skill in itself - don’t be put off by the tiny ground floor bar; head downstairs and there are two boards, one of which is in very good nick and used regularly by their team.
City Tavern 29-30 Lawrence Lane
EC2V 8DP

The boards were not in great shape when visited, but there were two of them in the downstairs games bar, so mustn't grumble.
Hoop and Grapes 80 Farringdon Street
EC4A 4BL

Extremely accommodating, although needs to be as the board is two floors up in a section of the pub that is often roped off. However, and it's a big however, staff are willing to use the dumb waiter as a beer lift to save trips up and down the stairs, so worth visiting (or more realistically hiring) just to see the carnage likely to follow.
Porters Lodge 17 Arthur Street
EC4R 9BR

Darting heaven just near the Monument, with 7 (count them) boards in total. Genial landlord, an in-house individual league, and teams in four different leagues give credence to the claim that this is the mecca of central London darts.

Other pubs

City Retreat 74 Shoe Lane
EC4A 3BQ

Tables and chairs usually block the oche, but affable staff are familiar with moving them for the team that plays there.
Flying Horse 52 Wilson Street
EC2A 2ER

Entrance to the upstairs bar is via an unmarked door on the right of the entrance. Inside is an out-of-condition board, in a room that will almost certainly be your own; a little grotty, but a perfectly acceptable reserve venue.
Sea Horse 64 Queen Victoria Street
EC4N 4SJ

Tiny pub where you wouldn't expect to find a board, but there's a perfectly reasonable oche to the right of the bar. Board is bookable. Got thrashed last time I played there.
