the smash lab returns

goodbye frustration, hello smashed plates :)

Stress getting to you? Feeling like you might snap at the next person who emails “just circling back”? Don’t worry, The Smash Lab offers an unexpected solution: break things. Yes, really! — Back for another round, Penda Studios in South East London, The Smash Lab is inviting you to let loose, embrace life’s chaos, and smash your way to serenity.

Founded on the idea that not all stress relief has to involve quiet conversations, The Smash Lab is London’s ultimate haven for stress relief, where destruction meets therapy. They’re all about minimising waste and maximising impact, offering you a chance to smash bottles, plates, and anything else in your way—all while leaving the world a little better than they found it. Goggles on, bat in hand, and 30 minutes to go wild—it’s as liberating as it sounds.

“Everyone deals with stress differently,” they say, and it’s true. Some people meditate, others take a walk. But let’s be real—sometimes, the best way to feel better is to just break stuff. And here, you can do it without worrying about the cleanup. It’s physical, it’s freeing, and it’s a laugh while you’re at it.

Whether you’re a founder, a creative, or just someone who’s had one too many bad Mondays, this is your chance to smash your way to a clearer head. The Smash Lab’s popping up for a limited time, so don’t sleep on it. Book your session, grab a bat, and let it all out. Go on—you deserve it.
