Angliagrove Snooker Club London Fields: Pool & Snooker
Anglia Grove is a proper snooker and pool hall tucked under the Victorian railway arches between Hackney Downs and London Fields. It is built around ten full-size snooker tables, with a couple of pool tables, ITSF table football and a licensed bar alongside. If you want a serious frame of snooker rather than a quick bar pool game, this is the spot.
One thing to know up front: it runs as a members club under its licence. You either join with a quick registration form or sign in as a guest if a member brings you. Snooker tables go for roughly £6.50 an hour, so it is cheap for a long session. Recently refurbished, it suits regulars, table-football crowds and anyone after an old-school evening on the baize.
The pool setup
The room is snooker-led: ten full-size tables are the main draw, so most of the space is given over to the big game rather than bar pool. There are two pool tables if you want a shorter, faster frame, plus ITSF official competition table football for when you fancy a break from the cue. It sits under the railway arches, so expect that low, brick-vaulted feel. A licensed bar runs alongside, which makes it easy to settle in for a few hours rather than playing one quick game and leaving.
Good to know
Anglia Grove is a members club by its licence, so you cannot just wander in and play as a stranger. Fill in the registration form to become a member, or sign in as a guest if you arrive with someone who already is one. Snooker table hire is around £6.50 an hour, which is solid value for a long session with friends. There is a bar on site for drinks while you play. It is a short walk from Hackney Downs and London Fields stations, handy whichever line you are coming in on.
