“The Lyonsdown Club was founded in mid 1895 and is the oldest Snooker & Billiards club in the UK and the World. This small but exclusive club has been continually active since its opening.
The Lyonsdown Club is in New Barnet, Hertfordshire and was originally a stable, the premises formerly being part of Oakwood House Estate.
Without question, we have to say that our club and members are deeply indebted to past members who did so much to forge the development and structure of the club.
Currently, the Lyonsdown Club is in a very healthy position. The Club works very hard to keep an even balance of membership and availability of table time. With this in mind, the membership is monitored regularly by the Management Committee.
First and foremost, to be a member of the Lyonsdown Club, you have to have an interest in snooker or billiards, and play the game. We do not wish to allow membership to anyone who has no interest in the game.”
