Professional Snooker Club Finsbury Park: Pool & Snooker in London
Cousins Professional Snooker & Pool Club sits on the first and second floors at 8-14 Seven Sisters Road, a short walk from Finsbury Park and Holloway. It is a proper old-school cue sports club, family-run for over 20 years, and it suits anyone who wants serious table time without a fuss: snooker players, pool regulars, and groups after a late session. The most useful thing to know is the spread of tables. There are full-size Riley snooker tables, English pool, American pool, and even £1-a-game coin-operated pool tables if you just want a quick frame.
It is open very late, from noon until 3am most nights, with a licensed bar, hot sandwiches and free WiFi. Pay by the hour, walk in, and grab whatever table is free.
The pool setup
There is a real mix of cue sports here. For pool you get four Winner Supreme English tables and two Super League tables (7ft x 4ft, £9 an hour each), plus four coin-operated English pool tables at £1 a game if you only want a quick knock. Two full-size 9ft American pool tables run at £10 an hour. On the snooker side there are four professional steel-block Riley tables, six standard Riley tables, and an enclosed match room with a heated table for serious frames. Everything is hired by the hour, so you pay for the time you use.
Good to know
It is a walk-in club rather than a booking-first one, so just turn up and take a free table. The hours are the big draw: noon to 3am Monday to Saturday, and 11am to 3am on Sunday, which makes it one of the later cue sports spots in the area. There is a fully licensed bar with beers, wines, spirits and soft drinks, plus hot sandwiches and cold snacks if you are settling in. Free WiFi throughout. It sits on the first and second floors, a short walk from Holloway and Finsbury Park, near the Emirates.
