Are there any users in London, specifically Camden/Central? I've recently started gaming but my main opponent lives in Dundee, so we don't really play all that often.

As a store I use the one on Oxford Street.

I live just outside of London (South Eastern), but I tend to play at Oxford Street GW. I can't find a decent club around London yet.

other than that, I know no where else around there.

Okay, how often do you go there?

Darksphere in Waterloo are good chaps. They do a lot of Apocalypse and Malifaux but they do have 40k casuals too. I havn't been to one so I can't say about turnout.

I forgot to ask, what game do you play?

Generally weekly. You might even have seen me a few times/or I know you already.

Oh them too. They don't always play it, and it's quite hard to book since the forums are slow. At least the fee is pretty cheap compared to other clubs.

The thing that bugs me about clubs is booking games. Its fine if you have a group of friends or an arranged following game, but if there's one thing that Games Workshop stores do right is the freedom to just pop in for a game and not the stress of trying to find a different player to book every week. I don't mind the fee/times as long as its cheapish and long enough.

The only other club I tried outside London Bridge is "Cross Gaming Club", but it's generally very noisy in there

Yeah that used to bug me but they have started doing casual nights on Wednesday. There's normally a load of people Warmachine night but I don't know about 40k since I stopped (for now, maybe).

If you're up for a bit of a tube journey, then The Overlords meet in Becontree, which is out on the Central Line near Barking. They have a really good setup and play in a church hall every Sunday afternoon. Usually pretty busy and lots of good terrain. They also hold occasional tournaments and narrative events. http://www.theoverlords.co.uk/

There is also South London Warlords in Dulwich, who organise the massive Salute event each year. However, dulwich can be even more of a bugger to get to than Becontree!

There used to be Cross Gaming Club in Charing X but I don't know if they're still around - maybe worth a web search. It was quite difficult to book a table, though.

Darksphere's website has a calendar of which nights are '40k' nights - you just phone them up and book. However, they only have a couple of tables. Last time I checked, it was every Wednesday.

Hope that helps!

I'm a 40Ker, IG, though I'm yet to play a game, next time I'm in for definite is Tuesday after next though, for adult beginners, as a refresher.

Oh, there's also Central London Wargamers in Camden - http://www.clwc.org.uk/ - but I'm not sure how much 40k they play...

Ok then.

Games Workshop - Oxford Street has game nights

WEDNESDAY: 4.00-7.00
THURSDAY 4.00-9.00

I sometimes go to South Eastern Warlords, but I'm having some troubles at the moment and I'm trying to find somewhere new (non GW)

Arbitorian
Overlords is too far for me, for it should benefit Meridia.

And cross gaming is still alive, just outside London Bridge now.

And Darksphere's calender is very random, I have not checked for a while but there are less 40k nights compared to warmachine, malifaux (etc)
