The Standard: World Cup 2026 London guide: The best pubs, bars and fan zones for every nation

Time Out

The World Cup is here and tens of thousands of Londoners will be flocking to pubs and bars across the capital.

And for the optimists, good news: with most of the matches kicking off between 5pm and 5am, pubs showing England and Scotland games have been granted an automatic extension to their licences if they make it to the knockout stages. Here’s hoping... These are some of the best pubs and bars to soak up the atmosphere and cheer on your side.

South Africa: Faltering Fullback

Londoners will know that Irish pub Faltering Fullback in Finsbury Park is where you’ll find plenty of Springboks every rugby season.

The football is no different and this pub is likely to attract South Africans in their masses to cheer on their national team.
