The pool setup

Two pool tables sit off to the side of the main room, away from the bar so you are not fighting for space with drinkers. There is also a dart board if you fancy a change. This is a proper club table scene rather than a flashy hall, which is why it works as the home venue for a South East London Pool League side, SVSSC A. You can turn up and knock balls around casually, but on league nights the tables get busy, so it is worth timing your visit around the quieter afternoons.

Good to know

It is a members club, recently refurbished, with a fully licensed bar and catering. The big draw is the pricing: regulars rave about how cheap the drinks are compared to anywhere else nearby. There is a large paved garden out the back for warmer days. Hours are split across the week, with longer Tuesday, Thursday and Friday evenings and a midday-to-five then evening pattern at weekends. Best to phone ahead on 020 8679 6560 if you are not a member, since entry policy at clubs like this can vary.
