EastEnders Snooker Lounge Whitechapel: Pool & Snooker in London

82-88 Unit F2 Mile End Road, Whitechapel, London · E1 4UN · Mo-Su 12:00-00:00

EastEnders Snooker Lounge is a friendly, family-run snooker and pool club tucked in a cobbled yard off Mile End Road in Whitechapel. It is a proper community spot rather than a flashy bar, with 8 full-sized snooker tables plus pool, pay-as-you-play pricing and a license that runs late. It suits players who want cheap table time and a relaxed local atmosphere, whether you are a regular potter or bringing a few mates for the evening.

The single most useful thing to know: it is pay-as-you-play by the hour, roughly £9 to £10, and open midday to midnight every day, so you can rock up for a frame without much planning.

The tables

There are 8 full-sized snooker tables here, which is a serious amount for a local club, plus 3 standard pool tables and 1 American pool table. They sit across two rooms, so there is usually space even when it gets busy. The vibe is no-frills: a bar and reception area, bare decor, and regulars who clearly take their potting seriously. Snooker runs around £10 an hour and pool around £9, charged by the table, so a long session stays affordable. Good for both solo practice and a group taking turns.

Good to know

Open midday to midnight every day, so it works for a late frame after work. It is pay-as-you-play and described as a members club, but it functions as a friendly local spot, so call ahead on 020 7790 1155 if you want a specific table reserved. There are hot snacks, soft drinks and an alcohol license running until midnight, with drinks around the £3 mark. The entrance is a black door with a buzzer in a cobbled yard off Mile End Road, so look carefully rather than expecting a big sign.
