The Six Nations Championship is one of the most eagerly anticipated events in the rugby calendar, and London offers an array of fantastic spots to catch all the action. From cozy corners to bustling beer gardens, London’s venues offer the perfect backdrop for enjoying the intensity of Six Nations rugby with friends, food, and a pint in hand. Speaking of pints, check out the Six Nations Icon's Brunch deal - we're talking bottomless Guinness - being offered at 26 pubs across London.
In this guide, we’ve rounded up our favourite places to watch the Six Nations 2025 across the capital. Whether you're a die-hard rugby fan or keen to join in, keep the vibe in mind; if you want to keep it low-key, wander into Fitzrovia's laid back pub The Albany; for something approaching the full-blown electricity of actually being in the stadium, perhaps Stratford's Bat & Ball is more your speed.

Defectors Weld - Shepherds Bush
As always, the brilliant team at Defectors Weld are really putting on a party for the rugby crowd, with big screens showcases every match, plus pre-match celebrations and post-match parties!
Catering to the craft beer connoisseurs as much as the sports fans, this recently refurbished West London gem is laid out across two floors and has a huge open courtyard space, so if you're big group and you want something approaching the electric atmosphere of the stadium, we reckon you can't go wrong here!
The Albany - Fitzrovia
A more laid-back option than many on our list, The Albany is a classic pub in Fitzrovia with a “hip and wholesome’ twist - the menu here is classic English pub food with a touch of sophistication from the continent, and there’s a great roster of eclectic events on offer to spice up a punter’s week.
As far as the Six Nations is concerned, this is where you’ll want to go to enjoy the tournament in relative peace with a pint or a cocktail and a great meal; in addition to the fixed screens dotted around the place, The Albany is showing each match on a giant projector screen. menu here is classic English pub food with a touch of sophistication from the continent.
Nordic Bar
Billing itself as “Fitzrovia's home for live sport”, we feel that a more appropriate title might be The Scandi Man Cave; with seven big screens, retro arcade games plus table tennis and interactive darts, Nordic Bar is the place for lads (and ladettes) intent on a Six Nations sesh.
Sports Packages made with events like this in mind range from £35 to £255 - that gets up to ten of you reserved seating in a prime location plus enough food and drink to keep you fed and watered like Vikings!
Vinegar Yard
With its massive screens in the open air, the atmosphere at The Vinegar Yard will be electric during the Six Nations. This place is no pub, no bar, but an open and social space with an eclectic mix of stalls for every need. The courtyard is fully covered and heated, so (unlike the players) you’ll be warm and dry with Guinness and delicious Bad Boy pizza at hand to keep you satiated.
Be forewarned that England games are ticketed, so be sure to buy in advance via the website. Non-England games are free to attend, and you can reserve a table by emailing courtyard@barserveco.com
Peckham Levels
95A Rye Lane, Peckham, London SE15 4ST
A disused car park transformed into numerous multi-purpose venues, Peckham Levels has the perfect spot for Six Nations in its Bar & Food Hall on the sixth floor with five 65-inch screens dotted around the hall. Food and drink will be available from traders including Korean street food stars Green Choy, Well Kneaded's sourdough pizza and West African delights from Plantain Kitchen.

The Lost Hour
217-219 Greenwich High Road, Greenwich, SE10 8NB
The Lost Hour is the go-to sports bar/pub in Greenwich, a casual and easy-going spot with fresh and quirky but fresh decor (think greens and blues, leather benches, brick pillars, high bar stools) and several screens with the pick of Sky Sports - and until it’s over, this is where everyone nearby is headed for The Six Nations.
Oh, and the kicker? It’s also one of 26 pubs around the capital offering the Six Nations’ Icons Brunch (really just their regular Bottomless Bruch with a Six Nations spin): choose any dish on the menu (from the indulgent Billionaire’s Bacon Pancakes to a stone-baked Tandoori Chicken Pizza) and, for two hours, staff will top your glasses up your glasses with whatever you’re drinking any number of times - just make sure you don’t go so blurry eyed that you miss the games!
Bat and Ball
2 Montfichet Rd, Westfield Ave, London E20 1EJ

What's more, amid the highly modern and sleek interior you'll find everything you need to keep the fun flowing; pool, darts, karaoke and Ping Pong (plus Beer Pong and Prosecco Pong), all powered by Neapolitan-style pizza and a bountiful selection of drinks.
Expect Bat and Ball to be loud and electric - booking recommended.
Pub On the Park
19 Martello Street, London E8 3PE
The aptly named Pub on the Park - for its location right on London Fields - has long been the sporting pub of choice for World Cups, Euros and other popular fixtures - including, of course, the Six Nations.
For the proper rugby fans, there are seven screens all dedicated to showcasing the Six Nations so that no-one at Pub on the Park misses any of the action. For any 'tag-alongs' who aren't really into the rugby, there's a full view of the bounteous green, yours to wander away from the madness into the lush landscape of London Fields.
The Corner Shop
A lounge bar that’s a far cry from your usual British boozer, The Corner Shop is a sports bar that becomes a club in East London’s edgy Shoreditch; low ceilings and the suave dark of the club décor make for a more intimate viewing experience.
The guys at The Corner Shop expect to book up fast for the Six Nations, so be sure to book a table to avoid disappointment - with eight screens dotted around the two rooms, the place will certainly be lively - plus, if you do manage to secure a spot, stay for the party afterwards and that’s a hell of a session sorted!
The Faltering Fullback
It would be hard to make any rugby-related pub list without mentioning The Faltering Fullback. A stellar rugby pub year-round, the traditional decor is maximalised by rugby adornments, most of them Irish, as well as other strange, hanging features like bicycles and guitars draped from the ceiling.
The impressively green, almost overgrown facade is matched by a bounteous pub garden that feels like a different world unto itself. Very easy to get comfy, unless of course you're wearing an England shirt.
Be forewarned: The Faltering Fullback does not take bookings, so, if this is your Six Nation pub of choice, get there early doors!
