About Time You Tried: London’s Best Football PubsBy Angelica Malin
We all love watching our favourite teams live in the Stadium. However, there are many cases where you can only watch from a pub. In that situation, you’d want to be in a pub with a great atmosphere, food and drinks. Here’s our favourite pubs for football in London:
Mabel’s Tavern
This is a popular Shepherd Neame pub located near King’s Cross and Euston. It offers a decent range of pub grub, beer and a big screen. They have free Wi-Fi so you can play some online casino games while waiting in-between games. Here is a list of the newest sites that offer online casino games if you’d like to be part of the action.

This is a fantastic riverside bar that has 3 big screens for showing important fixtures all through the season. Two screens are on the ground floor with one screen on the first floor. Do you want some privacy? You can book the private screening room. There is enough standing room at the pub so there is usually no need to book ahead of time.

This pub holds dual functions. During the day, it is a perfect spot to watch your team play. Late in the evening, it transforms into a function room where comedy events, club nights and live music take centre stage. It is a complete entertainment hub for your weekends. It is a good place to retire to for the rest of the day after you’ve had brunch in London.

The Abbeville
Located in Clapham South in London, this is a romantic and truly heart-warming gastro pub. There are several amazing ways to spend a weekend in London but visiting this pub should be on your list. The restaurant’s decoration is a collection of 16th century paintings and mismatched wooden chairs and tables. The comfort-food menu and the crackling open fire are two of the best things to look forward to during the winter months. During the summer, many people prefer sitting in the sunny and picturesque courtyard.
The pub is magnificent for sport lovers as games are shown on both the 46-inch HD TV screen and the 88-inch projector screen in the dining room. The pub is fairly popular so you should consider booking if you’d love to sit close to the screens.

The Hand in Hand
Located on the edge of Wimbledon Common, this is a historic pub dating back to the early nineteenth century. It has rebranded into a pub for the younger generation by serving a good range of beers and featuring a standard pub menu. However it hasn’t lost all of its old charms. Its small dark rooms make it very cosy for football fans catching the weekend games. You will run into many people coming in for a pie and pint after a hike on the Common!
