Watch: 'Who says chess can't be lit?'

It is a quiet Wednesday night in Brixton, restaurants and shops have closed for the day, but one building is full to the brim.

In this cramped shop unit in south London, 24-year-old Kojo Dwimoh has started his own pop-up chess club. It is packed, mostly with young people, who are playing the game for free.

He says up to 100 people can come through to play.

Mr Dwimoh initially set up the club to better connect with his friends and, by word of mouth, it has become more popular week by week - so much so that he is looking for a new venue to host the event.
