English Pool Tables

Q: What size English pool table do I need for my room?

As a rule of thumb, allow at least 1.5m of clear space around the table for a full cue swing. A 7ft table suits most domestic rooms, while 8ft and 9ft tables need a dedicated games room. Send us your room dimensions and we'll confirm the largest size that fits comfortably.

Slate-Bed English Pool Tables by Riley England

Every Riley English pool table is built on a genuine slate bed for the true, consistent roll a painted or MDF surface can never match. Each one is hand-built to order in Great Britain, so you choose the size, cabinet finish and cloth colour to suit your room — whether it's a family games room at home, a members' club or a hospitality venue.

English pool is played on a compact table with 2-inch balls and napped cloth, giving a slower, more tactical game than the larger, faster American format. If you have the space and prefer the bigger US game, explore our American pool tables — otherwise the sizes below are matched to typical UK rooms.

English Pool Table Questions

What is the difference between English and American pool tables?

English pool is played on a smaller table with 2-inch balls and napped cloth, giving a slower, more tactical game. American pool uses a larger table, bigger 2¼-inch balls and faster, napless cloth. Riley builds both on genuine slate beds — the right choice depends on your space and the game you prefer.
