2a Lynwood Road, Tooting · SW17 8SA · Mo-Su 10:00-02:00

This is the snooker and pool club on Lynwood Road that older locals still call the Hurricane Rooms. It now trades as London Snooker Tooting, and it suits anyone who wants serious table time rather than a quick pub frame. You get full-size snooker tables and English pool, a proper lounge and a licensed bar, just off Upper Tooting Road. The single most useful thing to know: this is a members' club, not a casual pub board. You pay a small annual membership plus an hourly rate on the table, so it is paid play rather than free. Doors stay open very late, every day of the year, which makes it handy for a long evening session after work or a late game with friends.

The table setup

Tooting is the snooker side of the operation, with full-size snooker tables alongside English pool. The room is set up for real sessions rather than a single quick game, so there is space to settle in for the evening. If you specifically want American pool, the same team runs a separate Pool Room nearby on Upper Tooting Road, fitted with American Diamond and English Supreme tables, and one membership covers both sites. Worth knowing if your group prefers the bigger American pockets over the tighter English game.

Good to know

This is a members' club, so you join before you play. Membership runs at roughly £25 a year, with a smaller guest admission of around £3 if you are just tagging along. On top of that you pay per hour on the table. There is a licensed lounge bar serving drinks and snacks all day, plus screens for sport. Some visitors have flagged that the venue prefers cash over card, so carry a bit of money to be safe. Opening is late, 10am through to 2am, seven days a week.
