Pool Table Size Guide
UK Pool Tables
The majority of pool tables in the UK are 7ft x 4ft - leaving an internal playing area (cushion to cushion) of 6ft x 3ft. It's this size that you would typically be playing on in a British pub.
To ensure you order the right size for your games space or business, there are few additional room size pool table options in the table below. Naturally, a full-size pool table is best-fitting for a game that feels professional, but space doesn't always permit this, so you have to work with the room you have and ensure players can cue properly and move freely around the table. Every pool table in our collection will have its own specific dimensions in the product description, so please use this to compare against so you can choose the best fit, or contact us if you're still unsure.

All of our American style tables match either exactly or very closely with standardised dimensions, and the minimum room dimensions below also consider different cue sizes to make sure you have the room you need to play.
