EastEnders Snooker Lounge Stepney Green: Pool & Snooker in London
EastEnders Snooker Lounge is a long-running, family-run snooker and pool club on Mile End Road, a couple of minutes from Stepney Green station. It runs eight full-size snooker tables plus three pool tables and an American pool table, so there is usually a board free without a booking. Rates are pay-as-you-play: £10 an hour for snooker, £9 for pool.
This is a proper community club rather than a slick bar, with a licensed bar serving drinks, hot snacks and refreshments until midnight. It suits regulars who want serious table time, but it is just as happy hosting a casual group or a few frames after work. Phone ahead if you want a specific table or you are bringing a bigger crew.
The pool setup
The room is built around eight full-size snooker tables, which is a lot for an inner-London club and the main reason serious players keep coming back. Alongside them you get three pool tables and a single American pool table, so you can switch between the slower precision game and a quicker frame of pool. Tables are charged by the hour rather than by the frame, which keeps things simple whether you are practising solo or playing through an evening. Cues and balls are provided, so you can turn up empty-handed.
Good to know
Pricing is pay-as-you-play: £10 an hour for a snooker table, £9 an hour for pool or American pool, paid at the desk. You can generally walk in, but calling ahead on 020 7790 1155 is worth it for a specific table or a group. There is a licensed bar with drinks, hot snacks and refreshments, and the alcohol licence runs until midnight, so you can settle in for a long session. Private hire is available if you want the space for an event.
