Premium Slate Bed Options
Every table here is built for English pool, the game played in UK pubs and leagues, and every one has a slate bed. There are 16 to choose from, by DPT, FMF, SAM and Naroki, in 6ft and 7ft sizes, priced from £1,449 to £5,995.
English tables use 2in balls and tighter pockets than American tables, so an American ball set won't suit them. Use the filters to narrow by size, price and brand, or go back to all Pool Tables.

Shop English pool tables by size or type: 6ft pool tables, 7ft pool tables, slate pool tables, pub pool tables and pool dining tables. Looking for the bigger American game? See American pool tables.
English (UK) pool tables are built for the game played in British pubs and leagues. Compared with American tables they use smaller balls, tighter pockets and smaller table sizes, so the two aren't interchangeable.
| English pool table | American pool table | |
|---|---|---|
| Balls | 2in reds and yellows | 57mm (2¼in) spots and stripes |
| Pockets | Tighter | Wider |
| Usual sizes | 6ft and 7ft | 7ft to 9ft |
| 7ft playing area | About 183 × 91cm to 186 × 94cm | Mostly 198 × 99cm to 200 × 100cm |

7ft is the size used in most UK pubs and leagues. 6ft is the common choice for homes where space is tighter. On the tables we sell, the playing areas are:
You also need room to cue on every side. With a standard 57in cue, SAM recommends a room of at least 15'11″ × 12'11″ for a 7ft English table and 14'11″ × 12'5″ for a 6ft. Read more in What Size is a UK Pool Table?
Choose 7ft if your room takes it and you want the same size as a pub or league table. Choose 6ft if space is tight or the table is mainly for family games: a 6ft table you can cue around properly plays better than a 7ft squeezed into a small room. Every English table in this collection comes in both sizes except the 7ft-only FMF Ultimate, DPT Omega Outback Pro and DPT Fusion. Compare them on our 6ft and 7ft pages.
Many of our English tables let you choose the cloth:

Delivery is included on most tables to mainland England and Wales, and installation is included on most American and premium slate-bed tables. Deliveries involving stairs carry an extra charge. Each product page shows exactly what's included, and the full terms are in our Delivery & Installation policy.
A standard 7ft UK pool table has a playing area of about 186 × 94cm, and measures around 210–218 × 118–123cm outside. A 6ft table has a playing area of about 156 × 80cm.
It's different rather than simply harder. English pool is played on a smaller table with tighter pockets and smaller balls; American pool uses a larger table, bigger balls and wider pockets, so shots tend to be longer.
Not properly. American balls are larger than English ones and suit American pockets and table sizes, so buy the table for the game you'll play most.
Yes. Every English table in this collection has a slate bed. The slate thickness and construction are listed on each product page.
