Woodlands: Pool & Snooker in Isleworth, London
Woodlands is a family-friendly community local on the corner of St John's Road and Woodlands Road in Isleworth, a short walk from the rail station. It was formerly the Woodlands Tavern. If you want a casual pub with a proper games room rather than a dedicated pool hall, this is your spot. There is a pool table, darts, a juke box and quiz machines, so you can drift between a game and a pint without booking anything.\n\nIt suits groups, sport fans and anyone after a low-key night. Big screens show live football and rugby, there is a large beer garden for warmer evenings, and home-cooked pub food runs lunchtime and evening. Walk in, no entry fee, and the games are there when you want them.
The pool setup
Pool here lives in the games room alongside the darts board, juke box and quiz machines, so it is a pub table rather than a row of competition-spec ones. That keeps it relaxed and social. Two darts teams play out of the pub on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so if you want a quiet game pick a different night or an earlier slot. There is no booking system. Turn up, grab the table when it is free, and feed it coins between rounds. Good for a casual frame with mates rather than a serious tournament session.
Good to know
Entry is free and you walk straight in. The pub is open from 11:00 every day, through to midnight Sunday to Thursday and 1:00am on Friday and Saturday, so there is plenty of evening time for games. Home-cooked food is served at lunch and in the evening, with Sunday roasts a regular draw. There is a large beer garden, free WiFi and big screens for live sport. It sits a few minutes from Isleworth rail station, which makes it easy to reach without a car.
