Best Sports Bars and Pubs for The Ashes Live on TV
England v Australia is a sporting tale older than Brad Hogg and this summer looks set to be a classic as England, buoyed by their recent World Cup glory, take on an controversy-weary Australia side, not a single player of which has ever tasted a series victory on English soil. With such absorbing action on the screen, it is essential you search high and low for the best pubs showing the Ashes in London and the rest of the UK. Here we've hand picked a couple of boozers we think are cracking places in which to enjoy a day's play. Why not check one of them out next time you're looking for a good pub to watch the Ashes in?
