London has a deep, internationally inflected mahjong scene — Hong Kong Mahjong is widely played in Chinatown (Soho), Bayswater, and across the British Chinese community, with regular Cantonese-language games. American Mahjong has a small but established presence in North London Jewish community centers, and the British Mahjong Association also runs Riichi (Japanese) Mahjong events for a different style branch.
