PaidWalk-in21 tablesGroupsLate night

8-14 Seven Sisters Road, London · N7 6AH · Mo-Sa 12:00-03:00; Su 11:00-03:00

Cousins is a family-run snooker and pool club on Seven Sisters Road, a couple of minutes from Holloway Road tube. It is a proper old-school hall with ten full-size snooker tables and eleven pool tables, so it suits serious players and casual groups alike. The single most useful thing to know: it stays open until 3am every night, which makes it one of the better late options in this corner of north London.

Tables are charged by the hour for the full-size kit, with cheaper coin-operated pool if you just want a quick frame. There is a licensed bar doing snacks and sandwiches, plus free WiFi, so you can settle in for a long session without needing to head out.

The table setup

This is a big, dedicated club rather than a bar with a couple of tables in the corner. You get ten full-size Riley snooker tables alongside six standard 7ft x 4ft English pool tables, four coin-operated English pool tables and a single 9ft American pool table. The full-size snooker and the better pool tables run at £10 an hour, the American table is £12 an hour, and the coin-operated pool is £1.50 a game if you only want a quick knockabout. There is genuine choice here whether you are practising serious snooker or just messing about with mates.

Good to know

It is open from noon until 3am Monday to Saturday, and from 11am on Sunday, so late frames are no problem. There is a licensed bar serving hot sandwiches and cold snacks, plus free WiFi, which makes it easy to stay put for hours. It is a short walk from Holloway Road tube on the Piccadilly line, with Highbury and Islington and Caledonian Road also close by. It is a walk-in club, though it is worth calling ahead at busy times if you want a specific table.
