Draughts Waterloo: Pub in Lambeth, London

Draughts Waterloo is an art venue in SE1, and it doesn't keep to one lane. You'll find art at the centre of things, with social programming running alongside it. Board game meetups are a good example. They run on a regular rhythm rather than as one-off events, which suits people who like a fixed night to show up and sit down with strangers. It's a place for looking first and talking second, or the other way round. If you want somewhere to make a few new connections without a set agenda, this is the kind of room that works. Art is the main thread here, and games are an easy way in. The list below shows what's coming up. The character of the place is the constant.
