Frames is a proper cue sports hall on Brighton Road in Coulsdon, the kind of place where the tables are the point, not an afterthought. There are 10 English pool tables alongside 15 snooker tables and 6 dartboards, so you can turn up with a group and still get a frame. It suits regulars, beginners and anyone who wants a real table rather than a wobbly pub one. The most useful thing to know: it runs late, with most nights open until midnight and Friday and Saturday going to 1am, so it works for a long evening. Pricing is hourly and there are deals worth timing your visit around, like the daily Funday rate and the Tuesday and Sunday 222 offer. There is hot food, parking and a bar on site.

The table setup

This is a big room built for cue sports. You get 10 English pool tables plus 15 snooker tables, including proper Star match tables (one was used in the 2011 World Championship final between Judd Trump and John Higgins), and there are two private snooker rooms if you want a quieter game. Add 6 dartboards and screens for live sport and it covers most of an evening. The venue has hosted World Women's Snooker and World Seniors events, so the kit is tournament grade rather than knockabout. Good for serious players and casual groups alike.

Good to know

Play is paid by the hour and walk-ins are normal, though calling ahead helps at busy times. Time your visit around the deals: Funday runs daily 12-5pm from £12.50, Monday gives 50% off snooker after 5pm, and the 222 deal on Tuesdays and Sundays is £22 for 2 people, 2 hours and 2 drinks. There is a bar and hot food, free WiFi, car parking and step-free access. It opens until midnight most nights and 1am on Friday and Saturday, so there is no rush.
