Kings and Coffee: Holland Park Chess Adventures

“Chess isn’t just played in quiet rooms and tournaments — it’s alive on the pavements, parks, cafés, and corners of the city. Pavement to Pawns captures the real London chess world: the street players, the café grinders, the public‑park blitz battles, and the unexpected characters behind every move. From Holland Park Café to the Four Corner Club, this blog is where stories, strategy, and street culture meet over the 64 squares.”
