In shot 499 the butler leads Bill down this hall to the closed door of the pool room. And, besides, the Lanesborough does not, as far as I can tell, appear to have a corner room that faces out on two close set neighboring buildings from which such windows could be viewed as observed in the shots from the pool room. But the style of windows of the above building--one pane of glass--doesn't match any of those viewed out the two windows in the supposed corner room of the supposed Lanesborough Royal Suite room used for a pool room. Whether it is as match or an trick shot match. This leads me to think that Kubrick didn't like what was shot during those 10 days at the Royal Suite, that a set was built for the billiards room, and that woodwork from that set was also used for the Nathanson apartment. As can be seen in the image below, the woodwork at Victor's is the same as briefly observed at the Nathanson residence when Rosa answers the door for Bill.

The room is not the same room and the doors are not the same doors, but the interior woodwork is exactly the same in both the Nathanson apartment and the pool room. Most often, the first pieces that you buy are the pool cues. In competitions, competitors would have three chances to successfully perform each trick, earning full points if they are successful on their first attempts and incrementally reduced points for subsequent attempts. IMDB has the lore this pool room scene took three weeks to shoot, but the 1998 Guardian article states that the Royal Suite was booked for 10 days. Fortunately, there's no need to resort to trial and error when improving your pool skills. As you can see there are various ways you can scratch while playing pool and each one has its ownset of rulesand penalties assigned to it. Then there is also a fusion table that comes with an easy-lift system. Note, too, how the Nathanson residence has in that room a red carpet that anticipates the red felt of the billiard table.

So let’s take a look at why felt color is so important. That is why you should never forget to carry cue cleaners with you. If the cue ball sinks at the foot of the table, the shot is taken from behind the foot spot. Also, if the cue ball comes into contact with an object ball in a full pocket, it is also considered a scratch. The object of the game is to score exactly 31 points before any opponents, with a penalty for overshooting that benchmark. Shown in the photo is a set up for bottle pool where the "shake bottle" and two object balls are positioned in starting position. In fact, I'm not at all confident that the pool room scene was ultimately filmed at the Lanesborough. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. This can't be so as the Royal Suite was said to have been booked only 10 days and we have a number of scenes in Alice and Bill's bedroom: the long conversation with Alice and Bill in the bedroom when they're high; the dressing room scenes; the scene after the initial party at Victor's; the long scene when Bill comes home from the "orgy"; the scene when he returns home from this last discussion with Victor.

But perhaps this bit of lore exists for a reason as it ties Bill and Alice's bedroom with Victor's home and with the Nathanson home. It's almost guaranteed that you'll be moving into the new home with a lot of of the valuables you have amassed over the years. Other times they will vault over the wall and attack those standing on the other side. Over and over again I read that the scene of the end pool game with Victor was filmed at the Lanesborough Hotel. As noted above, I've repeatedly read that the billiards scene was filmed in the Royal Suite of the Lanesborough Hotel (once a hospital) in London, what is billiards the Royal Suite being so exclusive that it's located in a secret location in the hotel that isn't even known but to a few of the hotel's employees. The interior hall which leads to the pool room was shot at Luton Hoo Hotel.
