Draughts Hackney

Draughts Hackney is a board game bar and event space in east London, with an industrial character that carries through in details like metal chairs and an unpretentious, relaxed atmosphere. The venue holds up to 250 for a reception across its three spaces, with the Garden, Conservatory and Dive Bar combination accommodating up to 100 standing - a useful configuration when a more contained setting is needed. On-site facilities include AV equipment, a sound system, high-speed internet, air conditioning, breakout rooms and onsite catering. Getting here is straightforward: Dalston Kingsland station is a one-minute walk and Dalston Junction is four minutes away on foot, while London City Airport is around 33 minutes by car. Tower of London and Tower Bridge are both within a 20-minute drive, which may be relevant for groups arriving from further afield or combining the event with time in the city.
