A members social club in Chingford with a pool table, and a side that plays in the Enfield District Pool League. If you want a relaxed game over a pint without paying by the frame, this is that kind of place. It sits at 67 Hall Lane, E4 8HW, a short walk from Chingford station, and runs as a Royal British Legion club rather than a pub.

The pool table shares space with darts, quiz nights, karaoke and the occasional bit of live music. As a club it leans members and guests rather than passing trade, so call ahead on 020 8529 2688 if you are not known there. Hours are split through the week, with longer Friday evenings and a full Saturday.

The pool setup

There is a pool table in the club room, the standard British 7-foot pub style you find in social clubs across London. The club also fields a team in the Enfield District Pool League, so league nights can take the table over. Alongside pool you get a dartboard and the usual social-club mix. It is a casual setup rather than a dedicated pool hall, so expect one table shared among members and the bar crowd, not a row of them.

Good to know

This is a Royal British Legion club, not an open pub, so it runs on members and signed-in guests. If you are not a member, call ahead on 020 8529 2688 before turning up. Opening is split through the week: shorter lunchtime and evening sessions Monday to Thursday, a longer Friday from 4pm, all day Saturday, and a daytime Sunday. There is a bar, plus regular quiz nights, karaoke, poker nights and live music.
