London December 2024 meeting will be on 14.12.2024

There will be a meeting of the London Shogi Club on 14.12.2024. We hold these meetings monthly where possible, normally on the last Saturday or Sunday but December meetings are often earlier. Always check to see if we are meeting, and which day we are meeting on.

We are currently playing in the basement room at Starbucks on Cowcross St, Farringdon. Do check downstairs, as you won't see anyone upstairs. There should be someone around from 11.00am until at least 2pm.

Everyone is very welcome, regardless of strength or experience.

The nearest tube station is Farringdon. Barbican station is also close. It's best to check which lines are running with Transport for London.
