Huge variety of games making for the perfect spot for a little hang out and game, or to meet passionate fans of all things tabletop
Also try the London Fog drink (I think that's what it's called). Never heard of it before and it was a nice new experience, highly recommend!

Not bad for a place to grab a cup of (expensive) tea and play board games for free

Stopped in today and ended up getting some food and drinks and staying a while. Food was really decent for the price with generous portion sizes. The milkshake was delicious. The atmosphere was really good - a few folks were playing at a table and it felt friendly and pleasant. LOVE the inclusive toilet signs and the provided hygiene products- a wonderful idea which felt non judgemental and discreet. Will definitely be coming back!

The best place in the city for easy access to other tabletop RPG or TCG fans, with plenty of tables available to play at. There are games provided if you just want to hang with some friends or weekly tournaments for Magic the Gathering and Pokemon TCG (a registered Play! store as well). Not to mention plenty of stock of said games to expand your decks. Just a great spot!

Found a hard to get expansion for one of our games here at a good price and the missus and I had a very nice Panini and cup of tea each. Atmosphere OK apart from the open door onto the street which unfortunately is right on a busy bus stop so get people sheltering (and smoking) from the rain.

Absolutely brilliant place. First time visiting with my son for his 13th birthday. Great day playing D&D. Thank you so much to all the wonderful staff.
