Hurricane
Room
(Kings Cross)
This is LSE's
home club, located right next to Kings
Cross Station (275/277 Pentonville Road London
N1). Our tournaments and regular Sunday night
sessions are held here. Membership is free for
LSE Pool Club members.
Rileys,
Victoria
Located on Semley
Place, Victoria, London SW1W 9QJ. To get there, either walk down
Buckingham
Palace Road from Victoria tube/train station (you can
get the 38
bus from Holborn there as well as the
tube), or take the no.11
bus from the Strand to
Victoria Coach Station - the club is just around the
corner from there, it's on the road where Belgravia
Police Station is. And yep there's a police station
right next to the club, so you don't have to worry
about getting mugged - having said that I doubt
anybody in Belgravia needs to do any mugging...
Maybe it's best to leave your nicest monacle and top
hat at home just in case :)
JFK's
This is the
main English Pool venue in London and
where we host our 8-ball tournaments. Located at
188 Rye Lane, Peckham SE15 4NF, you can get
there by train (Peckham Rye station, turn right) or
the no.12
bus from Trafalgar Square, or, easiest,
take the 171
from outside the Garrick to
Camberwell Green, then take the 12
from the
same bus stop. Sadly there's no police station
nearby like in Victoria, which is a shame, because
if you so much as ask the time in Peckham you'll
get stabbed to bits. They're a bunch of cockney
nutjobs down there innit, they'll slash you right up
son! But they're gentlemen with it, so they'll shake
your hand and buy you a pint afterwards. Just
kidding of course, I've been to Peckham hundreds of
times, late at night, and never had any trouble :)
LSE
Tables
For ladder
games, people are of course free to
choose any of the LSE pool tables (warning, these
tables aren't competition standard and most have
slow cloths so it might be detrimental to play
regularly on them in terms of judging pace, specially
for Yarmouth where the cloths are like ice rinks!)
which include the Tuns and residences of High
Holborn, Roseberry & Passfield (looking for a pool
table for your student accommodation?). No real
worries about crime in these places, the main thing
is to try to drown out the noisy and pretentious
conversations about investment banking internships. |
