What we’re about
Welcome to Chess in Russell Square!
This group is for absolutely everyone who would like to play friendly and fun games of chess at the outdoor tables in Russell Square, Bloomsbury (right next to Caffè Tropea).
Chess sets and clocks are available to borrow from the cafe from 8am to 6pm daily, or feel free to bring your own. Three chess tables are available to use whenever the park is open - from sunrise until 10pm.
YOU'RE WELCOME TO BRING A FRIEND OR CHALLENGE PARK USERS...BUT NO MORE ORGANISED CHESS EVENTS UNTIL THE BEGINNING OF MARCH 2025, due to cold weather. Please do JOIN the group to keep updated! :)
Before the first meetup of Spring feel free to stop by whenever the cafe is open (or any time the park is open, if you have your own pieces), bringing someone to play with, or inviting passersby!
