For comps...not really my field but I would have a look at the Mint in South Ken which is a short hop down the Piccadilly line and reasonable cab back.

Great games mind.

The genting (mint casino) in Kensington has good cash games in the evenings, very soft, some of there tourneys are pretty decent, think its best to ring up day to day to see what's on or use the website. Card room quite nice and I like the chips & tables. Hippodrome for cash, very soft, lots of French fishey's playing 'any ace will do', I think they have a turbo £75/100? Not 100%, think that is also on a Tuesday, maybe a Monday, again ringing before hand would be wise. I would imagine they have various other tournaments there now as they have grown as months gone by, I would also assume they get runners being they have 'stars' behind them. From what I recall Empire doesn't have any evening Tourneys, I think they do £25-£35 day time ones (they used to), and I heard through the grapevine, there cash games have taken a dramatic hit since the opening of the hippodrome.
