South Norwood Conservative Club: Pool & Snooker in London
South Norwood Conservative Club is a members' social club on South Norwood Hill, next to Stanley Halls, and a proper home for cue sports in this corner of SE25. It is a home club of the Croydon & District Pool League, with a league pool team playing on Tuesdays, plus full-size snooker tables for members. If you came for the pool, this is a club night sort of place rather than a casual pay-per-frame venue, so it suits players who want a regular game and a friendly local crowd over a quiet pint.
It is a members' club that welcomes guests, so it is worth checking ahead before you turn up to play. You will also find darts, sports TV, cask ale (Sharp's Doom Bar plus a guest), and a steady run of quiz, bingo and live music nights. Norwood Junction station is about 250m away.
