“A big modern casino in a shopping centre, with a poker room that suits a relaxed, social session.”
Aspers Stratford sits within a large retail and leisure complex in east London, which gives it a different feel from the old-school clubs. It is bright, easy to reach and comfortable for people who’d rather not feel they’re walking into a members’ den.
Poker has a dedicated space, and the setting makes it a friendly place to try a first session.
Expect a poker room with cash games and periodic tournaments, set within a casino that also offers tables and machines. It is a good fit for casual players as well as regulars.
Stratford has plenty of hotels around the station and shopping area, and the transport links make it easy to get back into town. Check rates and distance for your dates.
Take photo ID and expect a quick membership process. Smart casual works. Confirm opening hours and the poker programme with the venue before you travel.
