1 Arcade Place, Romford, Essex · RM1 1RS · Mo-Su 10:00-23:00

Romford Snooker Club is a long-standing members' club just off Romford's South Street, built around 12 full-size snooker tables with American 8-ball and 9-ball pool available too. It suits anyone who takes their cue sport a bit seriously, plus locals after a quiet afternoon frame and a pint. The single most useful thing to know: it runs on annual membership, so you join (£16.50 for adults, free for over-65s) rather than just walking in off the street.

It is open every day from 10am. Pool runs at £9.80 an hour for standard play, dropping to £4.90 for solo practice, juniors and seniors before 6pm. There is a bar with beer on tap, plus darts if you fancy a break from the table.

The pool setup

This is primarily a snooker club, with 12 full-size tables filling the room and one historic table kept for heritage. Pool sits alongside it, played on American-style tables for 8-ball and 9-ball. It is a serious, traditional setup rather than a bar-room corner table, so you get proper cloth and decent lighting. If you want to practise alone before 6pm, solo play drops to £4.90 an hour, which is one of the cheaper ways to get table time in this part of east London.

Good to know

The club works on annual membership rather than casual entry. Adult membership is £16.50 a year (with £4.50 back in vouchers), juniors £11.50, and over-65s join free for life. Members can bring up to three guests at £2.75 an hour each, and under-14s come in free. Standard pool is £9.80 an hour, or there is a pre-paid all-day rate of £46. Opening hours run from 10am every day. There is a bar serving beer on tap and a darts area too.
