Grand Prix London - May 2025
I'm happy to announce a Grand Prix this year in the UK, in our lovely capital of London!
www.vekn.net/event-calendar/event/11925https://www.vekn.net/event-calendar/event/11925
Date: Saturday, 17th May, 2025
First round starting time: 10:30
Lunch: 12:30-13.30
Expected finishing time: 20:00
Type of Event: Grand Prix
Number of rounds: 3 + final
Time limit per round: 2 hours
Address of Event:
Kingdom Wargames London
171-173 Hornsey Rd, London N7 6RA
soft drinks can be bought on site, there are shops and fast food restaurants within 10 minutes walk and a Tesco supermarket across the road.
Entry fee: £30
Side note - As we are not in the EU we cannot get Ultra-Pro prizes shipped directly to us. If you live in the EU, know you can attend and would be willing to have these prizes shipped for you to bring to the event, please let me know!
*** Pre-registration ***
Please register in advance, this can be done by paying the game store via the paypal link in the VEKN event. Please provide your name and VEKN ID so we can link this to you.
Pre-registration helps us in two ways - 1 - we can properly identify demand. We are currently limited to 60 spaces (one floor) unless the store sees sufficient demand in advance to expand upstairs.
2- To save us time to get moving quickly in the morning, we can already have the archon mostly ready to go!
GETTING THERE:
Kingdom Wargames is a 10 minute walk from Finsbury park station. You can get there by taking the London Underground Victoria Line north from Kings Cross St Pancras for 2 stops.
Eurostar arrives in St Pancras so can use Kings Cross St Pancras Underground station.
All other London airports (DO NOT USE LONDON LUTON / LONDON SOUTHEND - These are not close to London) have train/bus options into central london to then get the underground.
HOTELS:
As you can imagine, London is expensive to stay in. Your best bet for a reliable and reasonable-ish price is chains like Travelodge/Premier Inn, or being careful on Booking.com.
Friday/Sunday - The game store is available for booking tables at a charge to play for an evening, so if you would like to play casual games on Friday we can try to coordinate to book tables.
Sunday - TBC for a 2R+F side event depending on if we can have the space. I'll update as I know more!
I hope to see you there!

The paypal link is not put forward and is quite hidden. The event doesn't show up on kingdomwargames.co.uk/categorie/events-2/ by the way.
