Where to Eat in London

Hawksmoor Borough — Fan Eats
Fan Eats

Hawksmoor Borough

Hawksmoor Borough is widely regarded as London's finest steakhouse, serving aged British beef from native breeds in a beautiful Victorian railway arch that has become the definitive pre-match treat for fans attending Oval or Twickenham fixtures and for those simply celebrating the London sporting life. The Sunday roast is one of the capital's most booked tables, and the cocktail list is exceptional. For sports fans who mark a great trip with a great meal, Hawksmoor Borough delivers the memory of a lifetime.

Best Bars in London

The George Inn, Southwark — Fan Bar
Fan Bar

The George Inn, Southwark

The George Inn in Borough Market is London's last surviving galleried coaching inn, a National Trust property that has served travellers since the 17th century and today provides one of the capital's most atmospheric pre-match pints for fans heading to The Oval, Millwall, or Borough-area events. The cobbled courtyard fills with an irresistibly convivial mix of office workers, tourists, and sports fans, and the Greene King ales are served with the quiet confidence of an institution that has been doing this for centuries. Securing a table in the courtyard on a warm match day is one of London's great sporting-travel pleasures.

The Green Man Wembley — Fan Bar

The Green Man Wembley

The Green Man sits almost in the shadow of Wembley Stadium's arch and has been a cornerstone of England matchday culture for decades, filling with Three Lions supporters, NFL London fans, and boxing crowds depending on what's happening inside the national stadium that weekend. The enormous outdoor terraces handle the crush of thousands of fans descending on Wembley Way, and the traditional pub interior is plastered with England and Wembley memorabilia. Arriving here two hours before kick-off and soaking up the crowd is as much of the Wembley experience as the match itself.

The Old Bank of England — Fan Bar
Fan Bar

The Old Bank of England

The Old Bank of England on Fleet Street is one of London's most spectacular pub interiors — a converted Victorian bank with soaring gilded ceilings where City workers and visiting football fans share Fuller's London Pride in an atmosphere of magnificent grandeur. Its central location midway between Premier League stadiums makes it a natural gathering point for fans arriving into London on match weekends, and the traditional pie menu is the ideal pre-match fuel. The contrast between the opulent banking-hall setting and the universal language of football fandom is uniquely London.

The Tollington Arms — Fan Bar
Fan Bar

The Tollington Arms

The Tollington Arms on Hornsey Road is the Arsenal supporter's pub of choice on Holloway Road, drawing generations of Gooners from across North London for pre-match pints before making the short walk to the Emirates Stadium. The walls are covered with Arsenal memorabilia, the beer garden buzzes with match-day energy from midday, and the mix of old-school local Gunners and traveling supporters from abroad makes for a genuinely communal football atmosphere. Book ahead for Champions League nights — the queue stretches down the street.

Lord's in St John's Wood is the most famous cricket ground on earth, the home of Middlesex CCC and the MCC where every touring team wants to win a Test match and where the Long Room, the slope, and the famous Lord's roar make this a venue like no other in the sport. The official stadium tour includes access to the priceless MCC Museum, the Real Tennis court, the media centre, and the players' dressing rooms where centuries from Bradman to Root have been celebrated. Every cricketer and cricket fan should stand at Lord's at least once.
