Bars & Nightlife Around the Event
Bar Hotspots →
DUKES Bar at Dukes Hotel
A 1908 St James's institution famous for its tableside-poured martinis. Ian Fleming was a regular here in the 1950s; the Vesper Martini that Craig's Bond orders in Casino Royale is widely credited as having been formulated by Fleming in this very bar.
The Lock Tavern

Annabel's
The world's most exclusive private members' club since 1963. Princess Diana, Frank Sinatra, Beyoncé & Jay-Z, Drake, Rihanna.
The Boxer
A Marylebone pub that takes sport and craft beer equally seriously, The Boxer screens every major match across multiple floors. American fans in town for NFL London games will find a welcoming mix of football cultures and excellent cask ales.
The Connaught Bar
Multiple-time winner of the World's Best Bar award, with its iconic Martini Trolley and David Collins-designed Art Deco interior. The Connaught Bar in Mayfair is London's most glamorous drinking destination. Premier League owners, Hollywood royalty, and fashion elite are regulars.
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
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
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
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.
