Every Thursday evening, Old Spitalfields Market hosts Chess n Chill, a free community event that welcomes players of all levels to enjoy casual chess in a relaxed setting.
Set in one of London's most historic markets, the pop-up blends culture, community, and friendly competition. It's run in partnership with the charity Chess in Schools, which promotes chess in classrooms across the UK. Visitors can drop in to play a few rounds, meet fellow enthusiasts, or simply unwind in a welcoming atmosphere. Whether you're a chess novice or a tactical master, it's a fun and social way to spend your evening.
