London June 2024 meeting will be on 22.06.2024

There will be a meeting of the London Shogi Club on Saturday 22.06.2024. We hold these meetings monthly where possible, normally on the last Saturday or Sunday of the month. 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. If for some reason the basement room is shut, we might go to Costa, which is on Cowcross St but in the opposite direction from Starbucks.

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.
