If you love poker and you’re in the United Kingdom then you should definitely head to London this September. Even if you’re further abroad, the trip is probably worth your while with the massive range of poker events taking place during the course of the month, resulting in the city brimming with prize money and top pros. Alongside the well-known poker tournaments is the British Poker Festival, which will be making London its home for the entire month of September, ensuring poker fans need never be bored over the coming weeks.

The World Poker Tour is going to be hosting its London stop during the month of September, which is in itself a pretty good reason to visit the fine city. Oh, and the European Poker Tour is also holding its London stop in September, just to spice things up. As if that wasn’t enough, London is also being graced with the presence of the World Series of Poker Europe, again during September. If you’re a serious poker player there’s no better time than to head on over and play some cards and, who knows, maybe you’ll be making an offer on Buckingham Palace before the month is out.

Along with these three titans of Poker tournament series, there’s another reason to visit London. Kicking off this Saturday, August 28th and running right through until the end of September is the British Poker Festival. The festival boasts over one hundred events and over £12 Million Sterling in guaranteed prize pools, so is definitely worth checking out. The festival isn’t just host to fun tournaments, though, there are a whole range of events for poker fanatics to enjoy across the board.

Probably the most anticipated of these is Poker in the Park, two days of poker fun held in Leicester Square. Over the two days there will be poker training, tuition, talks and tournaments. Many top pros will be there giving out helpful advice and tips, and there will be two Poker Domes set up hosting Turbo Sit & Go Tournaments at all hours of the day and night. For poker fans this is a great chance to both learn something and spend a little bit of time mingling with your favorite poker superstars.

The wife certainly couldn’t begrudge you for wanting to give a little to charity in an effort to help out those less well-off than yourself, so if you are in town for the festival then be sure to check out the Charity Strip Poker Tournament being held at Stringfellows. Exotic dancers and other such distractions are of course purely secondary to your aim of helping out a good cause, and this is a great opportunity to cut loose and have a little fun.

The British Poker Festival has been a hit in the past, and it’s sure to be a great success again this year. With so many poker greats in town for the tournaments, London will be abuzz with like-minded poker fanatics so there will be nowhere to hide from the fun. If you’re able, definitely make the trip and check it out!
