Aspers Casino, the venue for CGF London (Feb 26 – Mar 1), boasts the biggest poker room in the capital. It’s also part of Westfield Stratford City, one of the largest shopping malls in Europe.
This kind of sets the theme for what is a modern, bustling part of London, and is why you won’t be short of things to see and do when not battling away at the poker tables. Here are just two of the exciting distractions…
Enjoy the view…
Located in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, which played host to the 2012 Summer Olympic Games, and with breathtaking panoramic views of the London skyline, the 114-metre high ArcelorMittal Orbit is the UK’s tallest sculpture, and it’s not to be missed! If you’re brave enough, it also features the world’s longest tunnel slide…
Premier League Football
Also a stone’s throw from the poker is the magnificent London Stadium, which is now home to West Ham United Football Club, a very popular member of the Premier League.
It just so happens that, during our first festival of the year, The Hammers will host Southampton (Feb 29) in a potentially crucial Premier League clash, so if you’d like to experience the atmosphere of the world’s most popular football league, become a temporary Hammers fan, and go for it!
