In 1986 the Greenwich Lesbian and Gay Centre (now METRO Charity) opened at Bowater Road, hosting “Thursday drop-ins” with activities such as pool, darts and board games. As a nod to our history, join us on your own or as a group at our “Thursday drop-in” to play board games together. This is open to all, and is not LGBTQ+ specific.
A range of family-friendly games will be available for you to play, kindly on loan from our friends at Badger Badger Deptford, however, you're welcome to bring along your own if you wish!
All levels are welcome, with volunteers on hand to help guide you, set up games, and introduce you to folks.
This is a low-pressure, relaxed event, where you can pop in for an hour, or stay for the whole afternoon!
