Hi folks, it looks like I may be moving to London next year. What is the miniature wargaming scene like? I see there are a couple of b&m shops in town. I play historicals from many periods, KoW and some GW games including 40k, AT and LOTR. Dave in Edmonton |

The Hamilton Road Gaming Group has been meeting at the Crouch branch library (on Hamilton Rd in London hence the name) for over 35 years. We are currently on hiatus because of covid. However individual members still meet up for gaming privately.
