Kingston Chess Club, formed in 1875, is a place for chess enthusiasts of all strengths to gather to play competitively or casually.
Kingston has teams in the Surrey and Thames Valley leagues.
We also run internal tournaments and other events such as talks, lectures (including online), simultaneous displays and chess clinics.
There is also a junior club which aims to train the next generation of Kingston superstars. See kingstonjuniorchess.com/ for details.
The aim is to be a club that wins league and cup titles, but which is also embedded in and providing a worthwhile service to local people and the wider chess community.
The club meets on Mondays between October and June (excluding bank holidays) at the Richard Mayo Centre, United Reformed Church, Eden Street, Kingston KT1 1HZ.
This is conveniently located in the centre of Kingston, at the junction of Eden Street and Union Street.
Matches start at 7:30pm and usually go on until 10:30pm.
Paid parking is available at the Rose car park (East Lane, KT1 2NN, close midnight) and the ground level Ashdown Road car park (24 hours).
The Eden Walk car park next to the venue is unsuitable because it closes at 7.30pm.
The nearest free parking is around the Spring Grove/Canbury Arms/Willoughby Arms pubs.
During the summer the club meets most Mondays at the Willoughby Arms, 47 Willoughby Road, Kingston KT2 6LN.
Details of events are published on the club website.
Match start time 7:30pm
