It is estimated that 605 million adults worldwide can play chess and we are excited to be able to bring so many opportunities to harness that love for chess in the Borough!
There are now 3 more outdoor chess tables within our parks,including Finsbury Park, Ducketts Common and Lordship Recreation Ground.
