Welcome to our world!

•   Athenaeum is a central London chess club, based in Covent Garden, with about 40 members of varying strength.

•   We meet to play league and cup chess. We don't provide a venue for social or casual chess, but there's plenty of socialising after matches have finished!

•   We compete in the London League, the Middlesex League, and various Banks and Insurance League competitions. Home fixtures are on Mondays and Wednesdays, starting at 6.45pm.

•   We also run a team in Division 4 of the Four Nations Chess League, playing on Saturdays and Sundays at venues outside London.

•   Athenaeum was founded in 1873 and that makes us London's oldest surviving chess club.

•   We welcome new members – please contact the club secretary,
Mark Johnstone (tel: 07899 986637).
