Any cafes in central London where they let you play games?

Question

I'm not looking for proper games clubs, just a few places in London, England (preferably in zone 1) where I can play cards, chess or Hungry Hippos with a friend alongside a few coffees or sandwiches without getting complaints from the owner. Cafes or quiet, smoke-free pubs would do. Cheers.

Answer 1

I'm sure there must be. Check for coffee houses and pubs and make some calls around to see if they allow games or even provide games. We have a place in the U.S. where they provide both retro Atari games and TVs to play them on as well as old-fashioned board games like Risk and Life.
