Spots & Stripes Pool Club Southwark: Pool & Snooker in London

PaidBooking requiredPool clubGroupsDartsFrom £8

Arch 64, Ewer Street, Southwark, London · SE1 0NR

Spots & Stripes is a pool club and private members' bar tucked into a railway arch on Ewer Street, a couple of minutes from Southwark station. It is a proper cavernous pool hall, not a pub with one table in the corner, so it suits anyone who actually wants to play: groups, dates, league players and after-work crowds. The single most useful thing to know is that you do not need to be a member to play. Non-members can book a table and pay by the hour, currently around £14, while a £30 a year membership drops the rate to about £8 and adds loyalty points at the bar.

You get a mix of American, Chinese and English pool tables plus dart boards, and there is a bar on site. Book a table online before you go, especially evenings and weekends, since the place fills up.

The pool setup

This is a dedicated pool hall under a railway arch, so there is real room to play rather than one table jammed by the bar. You get a spread of American, Chinese and English pool tables, which is unusual for London and handy if you want to try a different game. There are dart boards too, and the venue describes itself as a private members' club with coaching available, so it leans towards people who take their game seriously as well as casual players. Tables are bookable by the hour.

Good to know

Book a table online before you turn up, particularly on evenings and weekends when it gets busy. You do not need a membership to play: non-members pay roughly £14 an hour. If you come often, the Gold membership is about £30 a year and brings the rate down to around £8 an hour, plus 10% back in loyalty points on bar spend. There is a bar on site, so you can settle in for a session with drinks. It sits a short walk from Southwark station on Ewer Street.
