The Royal Surrey is a big single-bar local on Abbotsbury Road in Morden, a short walk from the Tube. It is the kind of place you come to for a frame of pool, a pint and the football, not for a fancy night out. There is a pool table on the floor, a dartboard, and it is the home pub of the Battersea & District Pool League, so the standard can get serious on match nights.

It suits players who want a relaxed, no-fuss game and groups who want sport on the telly. Sky Sports and Sky Sports Racing are on, there is a front garden for warmer days, and food and real ale are served. Walk in, grab a table, and play.

The pool setup

There is a single pool table in the main bar, the standard pub style you feed with coins and play winner-stays-on when it is busy. A dartboard sits alongside it if you fancy a change. The Royal Surrey is a home pub for the Battersea & District Pool League, so on league nights the table is spoken for and the regulars know their way around it. Outside of fixtures it is casual and walk-in. If you want a guaranteed game, come early evening on a non-match night rather than rolling up at peak time.

Good to know

This is a community boozer, not a gastropub. Sky Sports and Sky Sports Racing are on the screens, there is a front garden with seating for summer, and Wi-Fi if you need it. Food is served and there is real ale plus cocktails behind the bar. Karaoke runs Thursday evenings from 7pm and there is live music on Fridays, so those are the loud nights. Next door is a separate members' snooker and social club, which is not the same as the public bar.
