Colindale Snooker Club: Pool & Snooker in London
Colindale Snooker Club is the long-running pool and snooker hall now trading as Hurricane Room Colindale, sitting on Edgware Road a short walk from Colindale and the Northern line. It calls itself London's largest pool and snooker club, with 27 tables under one roof: 14 full-size snooker tables, 9 American pool tables and 4 English pool tables, plus a private snooker match room. It is a proper enthusiast's venue rather than a pub with a table in the corner, so there is room whether you want a serious frame or a casual game with mates.
Open every day until the small hours, with a bar and light refreshments on site. You pay by the hour and it is bookable, which makes it an easy call for groups and late sessions. Bring beginners or come to grind out practice frames; both work here.
The table setup
This is one of the bigger rooms in London for the game. There are 14 full-size snooker tables, 9 American pool tables and 4 English pool tables, plus a separate private snooker match room if you want to play away from the floor. That mix means you can switch between the slower, more technical snooker game and a quicker rack of pool without leaving the building. The club has been running on this site since 1985, so it is set up for serious players as much as casual ones. Coaching and memberships are available if you want to take it further.
Good to know
You pay by the hour and tables are bookable, so it is worth ringing ahead for a group or a busy weekend. There is a bar on site with alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks plus light refreshments, so you can settle in for a long session. Look out for occasional promotions such as three hours for the price of two. The room stays open into the early hours every day, which makes it one of the more reliable late-night options in this corner of north London.
Getting there
The club is on Edgware Road in Colindale, postcode NW9 6NB. It is a short walk from Colindale station on the Northern line, so it is easy to reach without a car. The venue itself lists Edgware Road station as nearby too. Parking on Edgware Road can be tight, so the tube is usually the simpler way in, especially given how late the tables stay open.
