I'm going to be in London for a few hours next week (I live in a
small town in the North) and would like to buy a good wooden chess
set there. Which places would you recommend? Preferrably not too
far from the city centre.
Thanks,

Marco

Hi Marco,

I live in a small town in Northumberland.

I assume that you will be taking the train to either King's Cross or St.
Pancras.

If you do that, your best bet is probably the London Chess Centre on Euston
Road, beyond Euston and Warren Street tube stations. The nearest tube is Great
Portland Street.

See: http://www.chess.co.uk/

Alternatively, if you'll be arriving by coach at Victoria Coach Station, you
may prefer to visit the BCM Chess Shop at 44 Baker St., W1U 7RT.

Have fun!

Mark

Marco,
io ci sono stato in Euston Road al Chess Center. Vale la pena, te lo assicuro. Io ci sono stato
tutta la mattina, e ci sarei stato anche al pomeriggio se non avessi dovuto prendere l'aereo!
Molto ben fornito, sia di scacchi/scacchiere che di libri.
Ciao

Translation: I've been personally at the Chess Centre, and it definitely worth a visit. I spent a
whole morning there, and I would have spent the noon too if I hadn't to go to Heatrow!
A lot of chess sets and a gorgeous variety of books.

Last year I bought a chess set in BCM Chess Shop.
44 Baker Street
London

I picked that shop because it is not far from where Sherlock Holmes lived.
regards,
Dik

I bought a £500 set from the London chess and bridge centre, its on Euston
road, a few hundred yards further down from Madame Tussauds (and on the
opposite side of the road)
They have a website

Thanks very much to all those who replied I think I'll go
to the one on Euston Road.

Marco

You could comfortably do both - I did. They're within walking distance of
each other.

And bus 30 links them both.
