358-362 Green Street, Upton Park ยท E13 9AP

Upton Park Snooker is a long-running snooker and American pool hall on Green Street in east London, near Forest Gate and Upton Park. It is a proper old-school cue sports centre, opened back in 1985 by Jimmy White and Tony Drago, and it suits anyone who wants serious table time rather than a flashy bar with a couple of tables stuck in the corner. There are two separate American pool rooms alongside the main snooker hall, so you can get a game in whether you are after eight-ball pool or full-size snooker. It is paid and play stays cheap by London standards. There is hot and cold food on site, parking, and screens around the room. The most useful thing to know is the scale: this is one of the bigger boards-and-baize venues in the area, so you rarely turn up to find nothing free.

The pool setup

Pool here lives in two separate rooms holding nine American pool tables between them, so eight-ball players are not fighting for space with the snooker crowd. Alongside that sits the main snooker hall, with roughly fifteen full-size snooker tables across the main and match areas. It is one of the larger cue sports centres in east London, which is the practical upside: even on a busy evening you can usually get on a table without a long wait. The room has screens dotted around if you want to keep an eye on the match while you play.

Good to know

It is paid and you are charged by the table rather than per head, and the place has a long reputation for keeping rates cheap by London standards. Hot and cold food is served on site, so you can settle in for a long session, and there is parking if you drive. The venue traces back to 1985 when Jimmy White and Tony Drago opened it, and it has stayed a genuine players' hall rather than a bar with tables.
