The Ruff Club is a friendly club for playing duplicate bridge close to central London. We meet every Friday at the St. Pancras Community Centre, 30 Camden Street, London, NW1 0LG.  The Centre is a short walk from Mornington Crescent or Camden Town underground stations and there is reasonable on-street parking in the evenings.

New players and visitors to London are always welcome; partners are guaranteed for single players.

We play a full 24 board duplicate game with instant scoring using the electronic Bridgmate scoring system. Results posted promptly to this website.

Our start time is 7.15pm and we aim to finish by 10.40pm or a little before. Table money £5.00 per player. Look at the information link on this page to find out more.

The Ruff Club also meets on Wednesday evenings for Supervised Practice at the Princess of Wales pub, 22 Chalcot Road, NW1 8LL. This is on the corner of Fitzroy Road, click for map. It’s close to Chalk Farm Northern Line station, one stop north of Camden Town.

Suitable for novices, recent graduates from lessons, refreshers and anyone who enjoys social bridge. New players always welcome – it’s a friendly group, ideal for gaining experience at the bridge table! The Bridge Host/Tutor is Kit Jackson. Expert advice is available from Kit as needed. Kit sends all players a weekly email bridge tip - but you need to go there to get on his list!

Come any time from 7.15pm onwards (late arrivals welcome); no partner required – you will play with and against different players. We play in the cellar bar. Play continues until about 10.00pm but leave when you wish to/have to. Bridge fee £7.00. Please do not consume any food or drink (including bottled water) not bought at the pub.
