Living in barnet - i can tell you that ther aint that many - if any Card Rooms in North London _ i could well be wrong!

Your probably better of heading into town (west end) or to the Edgeware road for the Vic (casino - with beautiful Cardroom)
Lifes tough, its even tougher when your stupid

As I"m from Reading I can say that the  only card rooms I"ve been to in London are The Western, know this is North London, Hangers Lane I think.

The Vic - definitely

The Loose Cannon Club.... this isn"t far from Canon Street Station

Or the Gutshot - thats it - all the ones I know in London

The Western is situated in Acton, which is in West London. Can"t go wrong with the cardroom at the Vic if the recent Apat visit is how they normally run.

Depends on how you are getting around....you"re only a 40 minutes drive from the G Casino in Luton.

...just so long as the three hour wait for a seat at a cash table was not the norm!!

Just goes to show what I know LOL  ::), I come off the M4 and up the North circular - thats North enough for me  ;D

Been to the Loose Cannon three times and each time I got lost, even with my TomTom telling me where to go.

Didn"t know the Gutshot was closed - forgot to cash some chips last time I was there.  Anybody want to buy £8 of Gutshot chips as a souvenir, not in the best condition and look well used.   :)

Linda, you"ve got until the 28th Sept (this Sunday) to cash in your Gutshot chips.

Thanks for the information - unfortunately it would cost be more than the £8 to get there. Be a nice reminder of my visit to the Gutshot - its a shame it closed.
