If you’re planning to watch the World Cup in Bethnal Green, you’re in a good spot. This pocket of East London has a strong mix of proper locals’ pubs, buzzy bars and relaxed venues that know how to handle a big match-day crowd without losing their character.

Whether you’re after a packed, high-energy atmosphere for knockout games or somewhere more laid-back with decent screens and pints, these are the Bethnal Green venues we’d actually choose when football’s the main event.
