New Members Always Welcome!

Battersea Chess Club is proud to be one of the oldest chess clubs in London (formed in 1885), and welcomes new members of all abilities.

This year our 1st team won a hard-fought promotion to the tough Division 2 of the London League and so we particularly welcome enquiries from experienced players who could help us to even greater heights!

We also hold hold internal club championships, rapid play and blitz tournaments, as well as more casual games. Oh, and we like a pint too!

So whether it's a serious or a social game you're after, come and meet us
