Hendon Chess Club

The club meets at Golders Green Parish Church Hall, West Heath Drive (off North End Road), Golders Green, London NW11 7QG (2 minutes from Golders Green tube station).

Please note: the entrance to the club is via the left-hand side door of the church hall. Then walk through the door straight in front of you to the room at the back.

We meet every Thursday – except for three weeks in the August holiday period – from 7.30pm to 10.00pm.

New members of any age or ability are always welcome. We offer a stimulating evening in a friendly atmosphere – visit the club and see for yourself. And remember – your first two visits are free.
