Magic In London

[mrieff]

For work related issues I'll be in London in September, but only on Monday till Wednesday. Does anyone know a nice cardshop there, preferably one with some action on of of those three evenings?

Of course T1 is nice, but draft etc will do. Or just a bunch of people to play with.

The two big TOs that I'm aware of are http://www.theplaceforgames.com/ and http://www.thegamesclub.org/mtg/. The Place for Games run tournaments over most of Southern England and run small, quarterly T1s in High Wycombe for boosters (High Wycombe is about an hour out of London to the North-West). I've been to some of their tournaments and they're reasonably well run.

I've never had contact with The Games Club in person, I just know of them through their event spamming on the UK Magic Newsgroups. Their website seems pretty comprehensive though, it should tell you what you need. Have fun in London!

Unfortunately due to low turnout www.theplaceforgames.com isn't offering the T1 tourneys anymore.  There were nine players at the first event, The next two didn't make.  The UK obsession with Vintage can not be better shown than by the amazing turnout of 13 Vintage players at GENCON 2005.  -Ok its depressing
