#LONDON MAHJONG club

Dear Asia Mahjong club

We created this London Mahjong Social Club for players of different styles of Mahjong to come together, connect, and enjoy the game in a welcoming environment. We are not a commercial club, we don’t charge members fees. Instead we release tickets for Just Play players who are not beginner to Mahjong, and would like to enjoy a two hour game with other cool people from our community. If you are a Mahjong lover, and our Central London location in Aldgate suits you, join our Community WhatsApp group here.

Book your tickets and come play

It’s simple as that. Book on a date you can come, you will always guarantee a seat at the table.

Play. Learn. Connect.

Discover our Mahjong Community

Mahjong is a fun and social board game that’s still quite new to many in London. Since it needs four players, it can be tricky to organise games on your own. In Asia, people often meet in Mahjong parlours to play together — and at Dear Asia, we’re creating that same community spirit right here in Central London.

Our players often start by learning the game in our workshops. Before long, many get hooked and want to play more — that’s why we offer Just Play sessions. We’re not a traditional club. There’s no need for membership or annual fees — just book a ticket and come enjoy a Saturday of Mahjong, good company, and great vibes.

📍 Where We Play

We meet at Dear Asia, Aldgate Tower E1, just a minute’s walk from Aldgate East station. Our space is modern, bright, and a perfect place to relax, play, and connect. We offer free tea and coffee, sometimes festive Asian treats too.

🀄 Who Can Join Just Play?

Just Play is for people who already know how to play Mahjong.

  • You should have taken Level 1 and 2 workshops with us, and you know how to score and win in Hong Kong style Mahjong.
  • You can play Riichi Mahjong and are looking for a place to play regularly with others. (we are trying to build up the Riichi Mahjong community…)

👉 All you need to do is book a ticket for the date that suits you.

💸 Why We Charge a Ticket Fee

While the running costs of our Central London venue, staff, and admin are high, we’ve worked hard to keep our Just Play tickets as affordable as possible.

We understand the appeal of free events, but we’re a school — not a charity run by volunteers — so unfortunately, we’re unable to offer these sessions for free.

learner Workshops

Level 1 Newbie Workshop

Perfect for total beginners, our Newbie Workshop will teach you the basics of Mahjong in a relaxed, friendly setting. You’ll learn the rules, tile names, how to build a winning hand, and how the game flows — all while actually playing! No experience needed. By the end of the session, you’ll be able to join casual games confidently. We provide all the materials, plus hot drinks to keep you cosy while you learn. It’s the perfect starting point for anyone curious about this iconic Asian game.

Level 2 Improver Workshop

Ready to level up? Our Improver Workshop is for players who already know the basics and want to deepen their skills. We’ll cover advanced rules like wind positions, flower/season tiles, scoring systems, and how to build higher-value winning hands. This session is hands-on, strategic, and filled with tips to make you a smarter player. You’ll start using scorecards, learn tactics, and understand how to play competitively. Great for those who’ve done our Newbie Workshop or have some prior experience.
