If you’re a football fan in London, you’re in luck! The city is home to some of the best bars and pubs for watching the game with fellow fans. Whether you’re looking for a lively atmosphere or a more relaxed setting, our guide has got you covered. Get ready to cheer on your favourite team and enjoy some game day excitement!
Greenwood: Sports bar in Central London
Situated in Nova, Greenwood is one of the best Sports bars in London. 20 large TV’s, incredible food, a wide selection of drinks – what more can you ask for? It’s perfect if you’ve got a train to catch and you’ve got a couple hours to kill, due to its location right next to Victoria Station. I’ve personally visited Greenwood and I must say, their pizza is to die for. It’s even better washed down with freshly brewed beer from the Long Arm Brewery. The atmosphere in the bar is what you’d expect from any Sports Bar – lively and electric (especially on matchday). However, it does get very busy here, so if you’re heading down for a Premier League match, I’d advise arriving early.
Greenwood, 70 Victoria St, London SW1E 5LB
The World’s End: Sports bar in North London
If you’re heading to North London for a football away day, this ones for you. The World’s End, located in Finsbury Park, is your typical Sports Bar, plus some more. With Large HD screens and projectors showing Sky & BT Sports, Live Music throughout the week and a great selection of food – it’s no surprise that the World’s End has quickly become one of the most popular bars in North London. Oh, and don’t forget the table football! The World’s End is also dog friendly, perfect for those of you with a furry friend that you can’t leave at home. I’d recommend booking in advance to secure a table, as it does get extremely busy.
The World’s End, 21-23 Stroud Green Rd, Finsbury Park, London N4 3JF
The Euston Flyer: Pub in Central London
If you prefer a more traditional vibe, the Euston Flyer is the place to visit. When visiting a traditional pub, what do you expect? Amazing ale. And the Euston Flyer doesn’t disappoint. There are five large screens in the pub which everyone gathers around, creating a classic football fan atmosphere. If you’re a fan of pies, this is the spot for you. I’ve visited a couple times and you truly can’t beat their pie and pint combo.
The Euston Flyer, 83-87 Euston Rd., London NW1 2RA
The Pavilion End: Pub in Central London
Despite the name referencing Cricket, The Pavilion End in Central London is an exceptional spot to watch any live sport, whether it’s football or F1. The Pavilion has a large number of screens displaying Sky & BT Sport to every angle of the pub, no matter where you sit. Part of the Fuller’s pub chain, you can expect quality beer and fresh food. This is definitely a place to check out if you’re a fan of a welcoming atmosphere, paired with great food and drink.

Boxpark Wembley: Big screen and food in Wembley Park
Remember all the viral World Cup clips of beers flying when England scored? Yeah, that’s Boxpark Wembley. Enter at your own risk! Only joking, but it’s certainly not the place to visit if you’re looking for a quiet matchday drink! If you visit Boxpark Wembley, you’re guaranteed to experience the electric atmosphere. Famed for their showing of International Games, they also screen Premier League and Champions League games on their large projector screens. There’s a wide variety of street food options around the area that are perfect if you fancy a bite to eat. Overall, it’s one of the best places to watch football in London if you’re looking for a fantastic atmosphere.

Sixes Fitzrovia: Sports bar and activities in Central London
If watching isn’t enough for you, Sixes is the place to be. They have a number of screens showcasing live Football and Cricket, but the best part is, there are cricket nets and a virtual penalty shoot-out area. I personally found this to be extremely fun (especially if you’re stuck watching Burnley vs Stoke!). And what’s more, the food really doesn’t disappoint. I’d personally recommend their burgers, but they also serve pizzas and other pub classics.
Sixes Fitzrovia, 170 Great Portland St, London W1W 5QB
The Kings Sports Bar: Big screens in Leicester Square
Located in Leicester Square, this Budweiser ran sports bar is the place to be on matchday. There’s two giant screens which showcase Premier League action, Cricket matches, NFL and much more. Their American-inspired menu is reasonably priced (considering it’s London we’re talking about) and, when paired with their wide selection of drinks, makes for a fantastic meal. In addition to this, they host the “All In Burger Challenge”. Which, simply put, is just an enormous burger. So if you’re a foodie and think you can finish it, head down to the Kings Sports Bar and try your luck for the chance of a prize!
