The Box Room Board Game Café

Board game café where you can nurse a coffee and lose three hours to Catan. Properly brilliant.

Walk into The Box Room on Regent Street and you're stepping into the kind of place that makes you abandon your afternoon plans without regret. The setup is straightforward—order your drink, pick a game from their seriously extensive library, and settle in at a table that's seen countless competitive comebacks and friendly defeats. It's the sort of spot where strangers become allies over a shared mission to beat the house rules, and where your flat white arrives without judgement about the three hours you've already spent there. The vibe is deliberately unpretentious: no one's performing, everyone's just genuinely having it.
