Eltham Terrace Club is a members-only sports bar in Eltham with nine pool tables you can hire by the hour, and it suits anyone in southeast London after a serious frame rather than a single pub table jammed in a corner. You get five Rasson tables at £12 an hour and four Supreme tables at £10 an hour, all kept clean, re-clothed and set up with seating and big screens nearby. The one thing to sort first: membership is free but takes 48 hours to activate, so sign up online a couple of days before you turn up.

It is strictly over 18s. Opening is from 5pm until late most days and from noon on Saturdays, with last entry at 10:30pm. Nine local pool teams play here on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and it is an SLKPA showcase venue, so it is a proper league room as much as a casual one.

The pool setup

Nine tables in total, split between five Rasson tables at £12 an hour and four Supreme tables at £10 an hour. The Rasson tables are the higher-spec option; the Supremes are the cheaper everyday hire. All of them get regular maintenance and re-clothing, and each comes with seating and a view of the big screens. Longer bookings get discounted rates, so a full evening costs less per hour than a quick one. Nine local teams use the room for league nights, which tells you the tables are kept in genuine match condition rather than left to wear out.

Good to know

Membership is free but it takes 48 hours to activate, so register online before your visit rather than hoping to walk straight in. It is strictly over 18s. Opening is 5pm until late Monday to Friday and Sunday, and from noon on Saturday, with last entry at 10:30pm. You can book tables ahead through the club site, which is worth doing at peak times when the league teams play on Tuesdays and Thursdays. There is a bar and big screens showing live sport, so it works for a night out as much as a focused practice session.

League and tournaments

This is a recognised SLKPA (South London and Kent Pool Alliance) showcase venue, one of the multi-table rooms where bigger matches are staged. It is a home base for several SLKPA teams and hosts Ladies Singles League nights too, plus monthly in-house tournaments. If you play in a local league or want to, this is one of the better-stocked rooms south of the river. If you just want a relaxed game, the same quality tables are there to hire any night they are open.
