Scrattons (club): Pool & Snooker in Barking, London
Scrattons is a sports and social club on Morrison Road in Barking, and it is the home venue for the Barking and District Pool League.

It sits at IG11 0UA, a short way from Barking town centre. The pool here is league focused, so the busiest pool nights are match nights. Most social clubs run pool casually for members and visitors when matches are not on, though Scrattons does not publish prices or hours online, so it is worth a call before you head over.
The pool setup
Scrattons is a recognised venue in the Barking and District Pool League, listed as running a single match table. That means the pool here is the real club kind: a proper table in a community hall, used for organised league fixtures rather than a coin-op machine tucked in a pub corner. Teams compete out of Scrattons through the season, so the table sees regular, serious play. If you turn up on a match night the table will likely be in use for the league, so casual games are easier when fixtures are not running.
