Selsdon Village Club: Pool & Snooker in London
Selsdon Village Club is a licensed private members' club on Addington Road in Selsdon, South Croydon, and it has been part of village life since the 1930s. It suits locals who want a relaxed, affordable place for a drink and a game, plus anyone keen on a proper club pool scene. The most useful thing to know: there is a pool table on site, two pool teams that play on Tuesdays, and an annual club pool tournament, all run under the Croydon & District Pool League.
It is a members' club, so you join rather than just walk in off the street. Annual membership runs to about £30, and once you are in you get drinks at club prices alongside darts, crib, dominoes and regular entertainment like live music, bingo and quiz nights.
The pool setup
Pool here is club pool, not a hire-by-the-hour bar table. There is a single pool table in the club, and it is the home base for two Selsdon pool teams that play their fixtures on Tuesdays in the Croydon & District Pool League. The club also runs an annual in-house pool tournament alongside its darts, crib, dominoes, skittles and shove ha'penny competitions. If you are a serious pool player in the CR2 area, this is one of the local league venues worth knowing rather than a casual drop-in spot.
Good to know
This is a licensed private members' club, so it works on membership rather than open door. Annual membership is around £30, and members and their guests get drinks at affordable club prices. It is open from early afternoon most days and later at weekends, with noon openings on Saturday and Sunday. Beyond pool there is live music, bingo, race nights and quizzes through the year, plus two outdoor patios, one covered and heated at the rear. Phone the club on 020 8657 3593 to ask about joining or guest access.
