The World Cup<\/a> 2026 is now just weeks away, with an estimated 1.4 million visitors flying into Mexico, Canada, and the US for the tournament. <\/p>\n

A record 48 countries will be participating in the FIFA World Cup across 104 matches this summer. Fifa fever is officially on. <\/p>\n

But many fans won\u2019t make it stateside. Luckily, there\u2019s nowhere better than London<\/a> to soak in the atmosphere, stay up for late-night games, and watch your team score. <\/p>\n

For mass sing-alongs of Three Lions and Vindaloo, look no further than The Standard\u2019s guide to the busiest pubs and best fan zones to watch the World Cup. <\/p>\n

Best fanzones and busy pubs to watch the World Cup 2026 in London<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get it out the way – Boxpark has become the first point of call for many English football fans in London. <\/p>\n

With five London locations, you won\u2019t have to travel far to be part of the crowds of football fans. <\/p>\n

You can catch all the action at this south London venue which markets itself as having London\u2019s biggest open-air beer garden. <\/p>\n

There are three massive screens, as well as plenty of atmosphere and buckets of beer. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Between the Bridges<\/p>\n

Between the Bridges is back for the World Cup, despite bidding farewell to its London Eye location last year. <\/p>\n

The venue offers covered areas, open-air areas, multiples bars, and food traders. It has sold out every World Cup and Euros game in the past, with the 2026 tournament likely no different. <\/p>\n

Located at the Truman Brewery, Ely\u2019s Yard is one of London\u2019s hidden gems. <\/p>\n

The warehouse and outdoor beer garden will screen select games on 100-inch TVs at this Brick Lane fan zone. <\/p>\n

Flat Iron Square was outrageously busy during the Euros 2024 and promises an electric atmosphere this year too. <\/p>\n

Tickets to this fan hub are already in high demand with the venue saying England\u2019s group stage matches are already sold out. <\/p>\n

But organisers of Flat Iron have suggested that England fans can also go next door to watch games at Rae\u2019s. <\/p>\n

Formerly known as Omeara, the sports lounge will be transformed for the World Cup Tournament. Think of it as an extension to Flat Iron Square. <\/p>\n

Clissold Park Tavern is a popular watering hole when the football is on and when it\u2019s not. <\/p>\n

Technically, this pub doesn\u2019t have a giant screen, but plenty of well-sized ones throughout its huge beer garden. This pub is also offering private match day booths with access to your own screen. <\/p>\n

But be warned – group stages for England games are selling out fast and knockout stages are walk-in only. <\/p>\n

This beer garden is always bustling and will be screening every World Cup game outside on its newly installed big screen for the first time in its history. <\/p>\n

Book ahead of time and get ready to soak in the atmosphere. <\/p>\n

Call it a bar, club or pub, but for the World Cup, it will be Shoreditch\u2019s best fan hub.<\/p>\n

All England games will be shown on huge screens, both indoors and outdoors, followed by DJ sets after each match. <\/p>\n

Tickets are free, but you\u2019ll want to be quick. <\/p>\n

One of the prime spots to watch all England games this summer. <\/p>\n

This venue is fully covered, providing shelter from the unpredictable British weather. But the atmosphere will be guaranteed – come rain or shine. <\/p>\n

You may only know the Queen of Hoxton for its after-work cocktails and rooftop terrace, but it will be the home of the beautiful game all summer long. <\/p>\n

Note that it\u2019s only the indoor ground floor bar that will be available for football fans. <\/p>\n

Bongos Bingo – out, World Cup – in. The central London venue, synonymous with hosting bingo nights, will be hosting an official fan zone that will go on late into the night. <\/p>\n

Standing and seated tickets are both available for that match day atmosphere. <\/p>\n

\"Hope<\/p>\n

Hope and Anchor Acre Lane Via Facebook<\/p>\n

This Brixton pub is made for big games, bigger crowds, and some of the best energy in London. <\/p>\n

You can book ahead of time, though walk-ins are also welcome. <\/p>\n

The Alma is a great sports pub, but not typically recognised for its beer garden or fanzone vibes. <\/p>\n

However, especially for the World Cup, fans can lock in for a whole summer of sport with England games and other \u2018nail bitey\u2019 matches being shown on big screens in the pub. <\/p>\n

Better still, there will be a Gareth Southgate lookalike contest being held to honour the former England manager. <\/p>\n

Freight is known for its music, its parties, and legendary rooftop. <\/p>\n

But it\u2019s also earned itself a reputation for screening some of the best sporting moments from its big screen. <\/p>\n

A ton of games are being screened, complete with street foot vendors and pre-match build up. <\/p>\n

If football does come home, you\u2019ll want to be at the Colour Factory where every minute of action will be shown. <\/p>\n

Tickets are essential to securing your spot, but you can also book out any of four private spaces to watch the game on your own terms. <\/p>\n

Every single match will be shown on the big screens at Kerb Sports Bar. <\/p>\n

England games will be ticketed, costing \u00a312, while all other games are free. <\/p>\n

One of the most popular places to watch the footy in London and for good reason. <\/p>\n

Soak in the atmosphere and all of the action at this south London hub. <\/p>\n

Booking is advised as seats will fill up fast, especially for key matches. <\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Young\u2019s Pubs<\/p>\n

Proof that bigger is better – the Ship will be screening the World Cup across 13 screens, including its cinema screen outside. <\/p>\n

Decking seats are walk-in only, but will be in high demand as footy fans race to catch the first goal. <\/p>\n

If variety is the spice of life then look no further than Market Halls. There are four locations to choose from, a wicked variety of tickets and match day passes, and an abundance of food vendors to complete your game day experience. <\/p>\n

Some branches are even offering private screenings and whole venue hires, as well as a bottomless option for \u00a370. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The World Cup 2026 is now just weeks away, with an estimated 1.4 million visitors flying into Mexico,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":58613,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[26],"tags":[1478,28530,27,3575,13444],"class_list":["post-58612","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-london","tag-camden","tag-electric-ballroom","tag-london","tag-vauxhall","tag-world-cup"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@UnitedKingdom\/116715443017492431","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58612","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58612"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58612\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/58613"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58612"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58612"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58612"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
