The Southfields Club is an old-school CIU members' club on a quiet residential street in Southfields, SW18. It is a proper community social club rather than a bar that markets itself, and it is the home venue for two Battersea & District Pool League teams, Southfields A and Southfields B. If you play league pool in south west London, this is one of the rooms you will end up in. The crowd is local and the setup is unfussy: a bar, cheap drinks and pool. Because it is a members' club, the bar may be open to members only, so it is worth checking before you turn up expecting a casual game. It is a short walk from Southfields station on the District line.

The pool setup

Pool here is built around league play. The club is listed as a venue in the Battersea & District Pool League and fields two teams, Southfields A and Southfields B, so the tables see regular competitive use through the season. This is not a flashy pool hall with rows of tables; it is a community club room where local players meet for fixtures and practice. If you are after serious, sociable, league-standard pool rather than a novelty night out, it fits. For casual walk-in games, ring ahead, as table access can revolve around club nights and matches.

Good to know

This is a CIU members' club, so the bar may only be open to members and entry is not guaranteed for the general public. Drinks are club-priced, which usually means cheaper than a high-street pub. There is no published menu of pool fees, so check current arrangements directly. The phone number listed by CAMRA is 020 8874 5875. Opening runs from noon every day, with later hours on Saturday. If you want to join the league side, the club is your way in to Battersea & District fixtures.
