A board gaming pub and kitchen on Deptford High Street with hundreds of games on the shelves and a gaming team who'll help you pick one, plus table service while you play. Every week there's a free Tuesday gaming social where staff break the ice and get new faces into games, alongside Blood on the Clocktower, Unmatched and Magic nights. The socials are 18+, and it's worth booking a table.

Monday is Boards & Burgers night at Crofton Park Tavern on Brockley Road: two burgers for £20 and plenty of board games to work through. It's a pub night rather than an organised club, so turn up with a few friends and grab a table.
