Absolutely loved Draughts Waterloo! It’s such a unique place and there’s a massive variety of board games to choose from. We had so much fun trying out different games and the whole atmosphere was really welcoming. It’s definitely one of those places where you can easily spend hours without realising. Would 100% recommend!

Great place - as s lover of board games the collection was amazing but more than that, the team there were really knowledgable and recommend us some great 2 player games, we only ended up playing 2 as Toy Battle was so good we played that for 2 hours straight! Highly recommended if you want to enjoy some games with friends in a great friendly relaxed environment with really good beer. A really mixed crowd so easy for all to relax and juat have fun!

As tourists from across the pond and board game enthusiasts, my wife and I loved finding Draughts as a place to grab a bite and beverage and spend a few hours playing games. If we lived in London, we'd have a line in our budget for this place we'd be here so often. The staff was warm and welcoming. Jess in particular was a real sweetie and made us even more glad to be there. The facility itself is a great vibe. The tables are spacious and offer a lower deck to store food and/or game boxes. There are a couple 2nd floor options available for party-sized gatherings. Their game library is pretty extensive with a wide variety of games. A few may have been a bit over-worn, but there are supplies of extra pieces to make up for any short falls. And it's location in the old tunnels below the main Waterloo station makes it pretty convenient for a wide swath of London. (Assuming the tube is running)

Loved it! Got a table for two as a walk in which was super lucky. Highly recommend booking as it got really busy. Great selection of games and you can order food directly to your table. We loved the vegan plantain tacos and churros. Can’t wait to come back. Thanks team!

Lovely place to chill with great food and a nice atmosphere, amazing customer service. We arrived quite early but we were able to sit down to have a drink and to order food to be given at our main table, also advised on other games to play similar to the ones that we enjoyed, really fun venue.
