WELCOME TO
RPG TAVERNS
London's home for drop-in Dungeons & Dragons. Buy a ticket, turn up, and play -
no long-term commitment, no party required.
Please note: All public sessions are 18+
Path 1
Brand New to D&D?
What is D&D?
Dungeons & Dragons is a tabletop roleplaying game. You play as a character in a fantasy world and decide what they do. A Game Master guides you through the story, and dice decide the outcome. No acting required, no experience needed. We teach you everything.
You've got two ways to start your adventure:
Beginner Sessions
£20 — 3 hour session
*Includes 30 mins extra play time compared to regular sessions
Tables exclusively for those new to D&D. You'll learn the ropes alongside other complete newbies.
Limited Availability
🛡 Before You Arrive
Nothing! Just book your ticket and turn up.
On the Day
🎲 Arrive early and sign in at the bar
🎲 You'll be given a selection of
pre-made characters to choose from and give your own spin on.
🎲 Your Game Master will take you to your room and start your session at 7pm
🎲 The session includes talking through your character sheet and explaining the basic rules
🎲 We go at a relaxed pace - perfect for complete newbies
🎲 Session ends at 10pm
Regular Sessions
£16.50 — 2hr 30min session + 45min onboarding
All sessions are beginner-friendly! Play alongside mixed experience levels. Our GMs and players love helping newcomers.
Available Tues > Sun
🛡 Before You Arrive
Download the dndbeyond app. That's it - we'll walk you through everything else when you get here. If you want to think about your character in advance, check out our Character Creation for some guidance. But if you'd rather learn all about it on the day, that works too!
On the Day
🎲 Arrive early and sign in at the bar
🎲 Character creation starts at 6:15pm (~45 minutes)
🎲 After character creation, pick your table from the noticeboard
(combat-heavy or roleplay-heavy)
🎲 Session ends at 10pm
👥 Come Alone or Come with Friends
Our tables seat up to seven, and you'll play alongside other players. It's a great way to meet people.
🍺 Food & Drink
Fully stocked bar (including mead!) with delicious hot & cold snacks to keep you full and quench your thirst.
Path 2
Played D&D Before?
If you know how to play but you're new to RPG Taverns, grab a "New to RPG Taverns" Ticket. You'll create a character for our world (Aeon) and jump into a session that same evening.
£15 2hr 30min session + 45min onboarding
How RPG Taverns Works
🎲 Drop-in, drop-out system - no campaign commitments
🎲 Come once, come weekly, come every day - whatever works for you
🎲 Perfect if you can't commit to a regular group, don't know anyone who plays, or you're new to London
🎲 Great way to find a regular group - play a few sessions, then join a guild for regular games
🎲 We run our own world called Aeon with ongoing storylines, factions, and history
🎲 Our world runs in volumes and chapters, with overarching plots and dramatic finales
🎲 Your actions can influence where the story goes - but each session also works as a standalone adventure
