About Draughts Waterloo
Board games line every wall of our railway arch beneath Waterloo Station, and we've watched countless groups discover their new favorites among our collection of over 1,000 titles. Our space at Draughts Waterloo sits right in the heart of Leake Street Graffiti Tunnel, where street art covers the walls outside while inside, exposed brick and vaulted ceilings create the perfect backdrop for your next party. We built our mezzanine level specifically for private events—it's where up to 70 of your guests can sit comfortably around tables for dinner and games, or 80 can mingle with drinks in hand. The private bar up there means your group won't need to venture downstairs for refills, and having dedicated restrooms on the same level keeps everything convenient. Our main floor below holds another 70-80 people, so when you book the whole venue, we can accommodate 150 guests total across both levels. Our kitchen team prepares hearty dishes that pair perfectly with game nights—think loaded nachos, gourmet burgers, and sharing platters that don't get in the way of rolling dice or shuffling cards. Behind our two bars, we pour craft beers from local breweries and mix cocktails that have become legendary among our regulars. Whether your group wants to compete in classic strategy games or discover something completely new, our game gurus help match you with the perfect options. Corporate groups use our space for team-building sessions where colleagues bond over competitive rounds of Ticket to Ride, while birthday parties often turn into tournaments with prizes. The London Eye sits just minutes away, and Waterloo Station's multiple exits mean your guests can reach us easily from anywhere in London. We've hosted everything from engagement parties to product launches in these arches, each event bringing its own energy to our unique underground setting.
