When it comes to places screening the rugby in London, Tottenham's The Beehive is a great shout. The col pub has a tonne of board games and a darts board to keep you entertained at half time, as well as a sheltered beer garden if you fancy getting some sun.
Boasting multiple TV screens where you can catch every single game of rugby, BrewDog Waterloo can be found within the station. This spot is known for their fresh craft beer brewed on-site, as well as their indoor slide.
There's also duckpin bowling and ping pong to keep you entertained, alongside a hearty American-inspired menu. Think crispy chicken burgers, goat's cheese pizzas and even beer-battered cauliflower wings.
Wondering where to watch all the rugby fixtures? If you find yourself in Walthamstow, The Chequers is a solid bet. Not only does it sport a number of big screens, but it also pours up local ales and offers cheesy pizzas to tuck into at half time.
