Mahjong is still a niche board game in London — and since it needs 4 players, it can be hard to organise regular games with just your own friends or family.

In many parts of Asia, Mahjong parlours bring people together to play. While we’re not running a commercial Mahjong club, we are here to build a community.

Many of our players started as complete beginners in our workshops — and now they’re hooked! That’s why we created our 🎟️ Just Play tickets.

Our main style is Hong Kong Mahjong, with a 3 fan minimum to win.If you know how to play other Chinese styles like Taiwanese, Sichuan, or British Mahjong, you’re still welcome! We’ll provide scoring cards to help you adapt.

⚠️ However, these tables are not suitable for beginners. If you haven’t yet graduated from Level 1 or Level 2 of our workshops, or if you don’t know how to score, please join our learner workshops first to build confidence.

Riichi Mahjong is new to our community, but we love its fast pace and strategic complexity!If you already know how to play Riichi — amazing! Please join us.If you play Chinese Mahjong and want to try Riichi, one of our instructors or friendly regulars might help, but we can’t guarantee full teaching support yet. You're welcome to learn by playing alongside others.

We’re excited to add American Mahjong to our offerings. It’s quite different from Chinese Mahjong, so we’ll run newbie workshops and regular Just Play sessions from 2026. Note: Just Play bookings require solid prior knowledge of American rules. However, we encourage cross‑style learning, so if you already know one style of Mahjong, learn another with us, so you can play at any table.

We’re doing our best to keep Just Play tickets affordable at £10 for a 2-hour session — that’s our best price promise. 🙌

Unlike clubs that charge entry or venues that require a minimum spend, our ticket price covers only what’s needed: venue, staff, admin cost.

And yes — with a booked ticket, YOU ARE GUARNATEED A SEAT AT THE TABLE, and we also provide free tea, coffee, and the occasional festive treat. ☕🍪

We're not a charity, but we are deeply committed to creating a welcoming Mahjong community. 💛 Your support helps us keep the tiles clicking, and we love seeing familiar faces return week after week!

Stay connected with fellow players in our friendly WhatsApp group — a space to ask questions, get updates on upcoming events, and even arrange private games outside of our Saturday sessions. It's the easiest way to stay in the loop and grow your Mahjong circle!
