A board game bar and restaurant has announced it is opening in Stratford.

Draughts London, which has two other locations in the capital, will open a new site in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in the spring.

Draughts is a bar and restaurant that offers a selection of board games for customers to play while enjoying food and drinks.

The new venue will have a covered terrace with views of the London Stadium and the Waterworks River.

There will be seating for more than 150 guests indoors, spread across two floors, and an additional 40 seats outside.

Nick Curci, founder of Draughts, said: "We are thrilled to introduce our third venue to the vibrant park and East Bank community, and we are committed to providing an exceptional experience for all our guests."

The new venue will be located on the East Bank, a new cultural and educational hub that combines entertainment, shops, and restaurants.

It will join the likes of the BBC, London College of Fashion, Sadler’s Wells, UCL East, and the V&A East.

Mr Curci added: "Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park was the standout location for our latest venue, offering both bustling neighbourhood trade and high visitor numbers as part of its destination status."
