"Those who say they understand chess, understand nothing" -- Robert HUBNER

Welcome to Ealing Chess Club's Website


We are a friendly & social chess club who try and provide a friendly and competitive environment for chess lovers of all abilities. We are one of the longest established clubs in London, having met weekly since 1885.

Currently our club night is Thursday evenings from 7:30pm.
Our Home venue is the upstairs function room at the in the Harvester pub in Boston Manor, Ealing.

The venue is a great pub serving good food & cheap beer. The pub has a large carpark and is well served by public transport being just a five minute walk from Boston Manor Tube & having the E8 bus stop right outside. A Map can be found here

New Members (from Grandmaster to beginners!) are always welcome. Feel free to just pop down on a Thursday, or even better, give the new members co-ordinator a call or email first and we will do our best to ensure there will be a member of the same standard around to give you a good game or two!
