Alfresco chess!

chess playersA team from the Langham Hotel in Portland Place, led by Art4Space, spent a day in the Park recently transforming three of our picnic benches into chess/draughts boards with mosaics.

The benches can be found in the lavender garden area although they tend to wander around. The surrounds of the table tops were inspired by the FOVP’s logo and HM The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.

We hope to leave a set of chess and draughts pieces in the Cafe for players to use – if you have an old set you could donate please let us know!
