World Cup<\/a> 2026 has begun, with an estimated 1.4 million visitors expected to visit Mexico, Canada, and the US for the tournament. A record 48 countries will be participating across 104 matches this summer. But the majority of football fans won\u2019t make it stateside.<\/p>\n

Luckily, there\u2019s nowhere better than London<\/a> to soak in the atmosphere, stay up for late-night games, and support your country. <\/p>\n

For mass singalongs 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 in London<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get it out of the way: Boxpark has become the first point of call for many 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. Boxpark\u2019s sister brand Boxhall is also offering World Cup screenings at its charming food hall site in Liverpool Street. <\/p>\n

You can catch all of 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":"World Cup 2026 has begun, with an estimated 1.4 million visitors expected to visit Mexico, Canada, and the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1020764,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[7757],"tags":[748,28057,146655,393,4884,257,25720,16,15,35703,1514],"class_list":["post-1020763","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-london","tag-britain","tag-camden","tag-electric-ballroom","tag-england","tag-great-britain","tag-london","tag-london-pubs","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-vauxhall","tag-world-cup"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116734149320392118","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1020763","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1020763"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1020763\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1020764"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1020763"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1020763"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1020763"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
