London SW4 7AA
Alexandra
Not a single fault to find with this old and beautiful pub on Clapham Common which is known to be a bit of a haunt for supporters of all things Irish. Little to elaborate when it comes to the 2 HD projectors and 4 plasma screens across 2 floors; the pub also has a heated beer garden, table tennis tables, and foosball to keep you entertained pre-game, post-game, and half-time. Always a cracking atmosphere during the footy or rugger and if you’re planning to spend an evening; the Thai food is really excellent.

The Sporting Page
#RelaxedAtmosphere
#ClassicPubFood
#WideDrinkSelection
First up is a personal favourite of ours, the Sporting Page in south-west London. The Sporting Page not only shows key sporting events on 4 screens but manages to pull off the perfect mix of a real sports atmosphere, 6 ales on the bar that have been cared for with love and attention as well as classic pub dishes all served by a team of staff who really do care about every punter. Even without sport, this would still be one of the best pubs in London.

Greenwood
#InternationalSport
#AmericanSports
#MajorEvents
Tucked away by Victoria station, Greenwood is a life saver for any poor soul with a train to catch. That said, even if you're not waiting for transport, the Greenwood is well worth a visit west for a game - it really is that good. A heap of screens, epic food, some seriously plush decor and freshly brewed beer from Long Arm brewery makes this a real winner.

The Richmond
#StadiumLikeAtmosphere
#Pizza
#Football
Over 100 years old, this traditional London boozer is well loved by locals and visitors alike. They've got benches outside for summer, pool tables and a mini library inside for when it gets chillier plus heaps of screens showing all the best BT and Sky Sports action live.

Belushis in London Bridge have re-branded their sports offering and have created 'The Dugout'. Down in their basement they've curated any sports fan's dream with a themed American sports bar littered with screens (17!), table fussball, beer pong, all the sharing platters your belly could desire etc etc. The Dugout's real x-factor comes in their unique position to screen sport and serve drinks late into the night and early in the morning, making this a must for people looking to watch US/Australasian sports.

#AmericanFood
London’s biggest sports bar boasts all the facilities you would expect from a venue this size. 35 screens dot the 600 capacity pub alongside English and American pool tables, foosball, and a particularly fun and riotous atmosphere during the big games. To add to the structure of the place; Riley’s serves up some good, honest, great value food (enormous portions for under a tenner) and there are few faults to be found with the burgers and onion rings if you’re tempted.
London WC2H 7NA
Carlsberg Sports Bar
It turns out Carlsberg do Sports bars...and they are pretty bloody fantastic. To be found in the Empire Casino on Leicester Square, this is well worth a visit even if you're not living close. With free entry, all of the beers and a 'make your own burger' facility it basically covers all your needs. It goes without saying that they show sport on TV.

Dirty Harrys Soho
#BigGamesMatter
#WideDrinkSelection
#AmericanFood
With a serious reputation for awesome food and cocktails, Dirty Harrys isn't the first place that comes to mind when you think sport. However, with the addition of sport to their roster and taking it as seriously as they take their food and cocktails means that Central London has a new contender for best sports bar.

#StadiumLikeAtmosphere
#SportsBar
The best sports bar in East London has a distinctly continental feel to it. As such, Spaniards, Italians and David Luiz regularly flock here for the big games. Why? Big screens, an electric atmosphere, and enough Table Football tables to host an international tournament. The best Happy Hour in town runs from 4-7 EVERYDAY (@£2 bottled beers and £4.85 cocktails) - well worth a visit.
London NW1 2RA
Euston Flyer
Definitely the most traditional of the best sports pubs in London, the Flyer is a Fuller's pub, so good ale is a prerequisite. Perhaps surprisingly for such a large pub, the food is tip-tip with the pies a big hit. Located between Euston and King's Cross, it's the perfect spot to catch sport on the big screen before running off to catch a train.

The Three Compasses Dalston
#RelaxedAtmosphere
#CraftBeer
#MajorEvents
Hackney's finest. The Three Compasses boasts a bunch of sizeable drop-down projectors ensuring cops a decent eye full of the action. Being East London, the beer's suitably crafty and the crowd's a bit more relaxed than you might find elsewhere. That said, it still packs a belting atmosphere when full. Well worth a visit.
