Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to book a table at a London sports bar with an outdoor screen?

Yes — pubs with outdoor heaters and alfresco seating have never been in such high demand, so it's definitely worth booking where possible, even if you're looking for a venue several weeks down the line. During major tournaments, many venues become fully booked well in advance, and for England matches, reservations may disappear days or even weeks before the game.

What sports can I watch at outdoor screen bars in London?

London's outdoor screen pubs cover a wide range of sports beyond just football, like live tennis, football, cricket, rugby and more.

Are there free outdoor sports screenings in London?

Yes — some venues offer free entry for outdoor screenings, though it varies by event. At Freight Brixton, for example, table bookings are just £5 per person, while standing entry is completely free. A screening that is free for a group-stage match may require paid entry for a knockout game, so it's always worth checking ahead.

What should I look for when choosing an outdoor sports bar in London?

Before choosing a venue, it's worth thinking about three things: how late the match finishes, whether you want to sit or stand, and how much crowd atmosphere you actually enjoy. It's also worth checking for covered pergolas and large umbrellas to account for unpredictable British weather.
