The Station Master Marylebone: Pool & Snooker in London

The Station Master Marylebone is a big sports bar and grill built into Marylebone station, with a games den called the Sports Ground in the basement. That downstairs room is where the pool lives: two pool tables alongside two dart machines and two 16ft shuffleboard tables, plus its own private bar. It suits groups who want to watch the football on the HD screens upstairs and then drift down for a few frames and a round of drinks.

There is no online price published for the pool, so check at the bar when you arrive. Walk-in is the norm, but the whole Sports Ground can be reserved for parties and hired out fully for up to 130 people, which is the move if you are bringing a big group.

The pool setup

Pool sits in the Sports Ground, the bar's basement games room with its own private bar. You get two pool tables down there, sharing the floor with two dart machines and two 16ft shuffleboard tables. It is a proper games den rather than a single table tucked in a corner, so a group can rotate across pool, darts and shuffleboard without queuing for one thing all night. Upstairs is the main sports bar with large HD LED screens, so the usual rhythm is to watch a match up top, then head down for frames once it finishes.

Good to know

There is no published price for the pool tables online, so ask at the bar when you get there. It is a walk-in venue most of the time, but the Sports Ground can be reserved for birthdays and leaving drinks, or hired out fully for up to 130 people. The kitchen does British pub food, burgers and wings, and there are cask ales, lagers, cocktails and wine on. It is wheelchair accessible with free Wi-Fi and power points if you want to linger.

Getting there

It could not be easier to find. The bar is built into Marylebone station itself, on Melcombe Place, with entrances from both the station concourse and the street. That makes it a natural pre or post match spot if you are heading to Wembley or Lord's, or just a reliable meeting point for a group coming in from different directions. Marylebone is the nearest tube and rail station, which is to say you are basically already there.
