Fore Street Snooker Edmonton: Pool & Snooker in London
Cousins Snooker & Pool Club is a family run hall on the first and second floors of 169-171 Fore Street in Edmonton, and it suits anyone who wants a proper table without West End prices. It runs late, open noon to 2am every day, so it works whether you want a quick lunchtime frame or a session that runs past midnight.
The setup is mostly pool: seven 7ft Winner Supreme English tables plus an American table on the first floor, with five full-size Riley snooker tables and a darts board upstairs. Tables are charged by the hour, from £10.50 for English pool, and there is a licensed bar, air conditioning and free parking. You can book online or just turn up and ask at the desk. A £35 lifetime membership is offered but you do not need it for a casual game.
The pool setup
Pool is the main draw. The first floor has seven 7ft Winner Supreme English tables and one American pool table, so you have a real choice of cloth and pocket size before you rack up. Head to the second floor and you get five full-size Riley Regal snooker tables, the heated, properly maintained kind you do not find in most pubs. There is a professional darts setup too if you want a break from the cue. Tables are charged by the hour, so a group can share one for an evening or you can grab a quick frame on your own.
Good to know
Prices are by the hour: English pool is £10.50, the American table £12, snooker £11 and darts £5. You can book online or call ahead on 0208 807 7773, though walking in works most of the time. There is a licensed bar with a decent run of spirits, wines and beers, plus air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, live sports on screen and free parking, which is rare for London. A £35 lifetime membership exists for regulars but a casual game does not require it.
When to go
The big advantage is the hours. Cousins is open noon to 2am, seven days a week, so it is one of the few North London halls where you can still get a table well after the pubs have called last orders. Daytimes and early evenings are calmest if you want a quiet practice frame. It gets busier at night and at weekends, so if you are bringing a group and want a specific table, a quick call ahead saves you waiting.
