When [[Ewan]] visited in 2007 the staff were friendly and helpful and were able to make helpful suggestions for one such as myself, dabbling in the basic end of poker.

[[Rowley Birkin QC]] has visited a few times since 2017, and reports "I went there first to get some expensive competition-quality equipment which is still holding up well. I've also been in for general browsing (bought some double-9 dominoes which were acceptable). I went in for a chess clock as a present, hoping the staff would be able to recommend one, but they were as baffled as I was (though perhaps they were being driven to distraction by a burglar alarm which they were having great trouble shutting down)."
