Beats and Boards is one of London’s most unique boardgame nights, blending music and board games in a way that changes the way we go out. Curated by DJ and broadcaster Haseeb Iqbal, this event offers a chance to actively listen while playing games.
Now in its second year, this residency has become a staple for those looking for more than just a typical night out. It’s about more than the play; it’s about how the music and games come together to create a space where you can connect, unwind, and engage in a new kind of social night.
