The Miller is a relaxed pub just south of London Bridge station, on Snowsfields near Borough High Street. The draw for ping pong is simple: there is a free table up on the raised wooden roof terrace, and you can just turn up and play. No booking, no hourly fee, no minimum spend on the table itself. That makes it an easy pick for an after-work session with workmates or a low-key date that does not need planning.

Downstairs it works as an ordinary pub with a kitchen, real ales and a regular events programme, so you can grab food and a drink before heading up top for a few rounds. It suits casual players and groups more than anyone chasing a serious match. Bring your own bats if you want to be sure, and note the terrace shuts earlier than the bar.

The ping pong setup

There is one table tennis table, and it lives up on the raised wooden roof terrace rather than inside. You play in the open air, which is part of the appeal on a warm evening and less so when it rains. It is free to use and first-come, so on busy nights you may wait for the table to clear. The Miller also keeps board games and console games for when you are between rounds or the terrace is full. This is built for fun rather than competition, so do not expect tournament-grade kit.

Good to know

Playing ping pong here costs nothing and you do not book, you just turn up. The bar runs Monday to Thursday 12pm to 11pm, Friday 12pm to 1am and Saturday 4pm to 1am, and it is closed Sunday. The beer garden and roof terrace close at 10pm under licensing rules, so aim your session for earlier in the evening. The kitchen serves food Monday to Friday 12pm to 10pm and Saturday 4pm to 10pm. It is a short walk from London Bridge and Borough stations.
