Looking for pubs and bars to watch the Men's Six Nations 2025 in London?
This year's tournament kicks off on 31 January running until 15 March. That's a whole month and a half of mauls, rucks, offsides and tries. And if you weren't lucky enough to nab a ticket to a match, there are loads of fan spaces, boozers and bars across the capital where you can watch this year's Six Nations Championships unfold. Here's our pick.
The Vine, Kentish Town
Come for the Six Nations, stay for the shuffleboard at this sport-worshipping north London boozer, which is screening everything from the first kick-off, to the final broken nose.
The Vine, Kentish Town
Boxpark Shoreditch and Boxpark Wembley
Boxpark Shoreditch and Wembley are screening every single Six Nations match on the numerous HD screens, which you can get stuck into alongside copious amounts of superb street food (plus pints of not-quite-so-superb Doombar).
Choose to pay £10 for guaranteed entry and a drink, or chance it with free, but not guaranteed, entry (you should still register your interest however). This seems to apply for every Six Nations match at both venues.

The Railway, Clapham
Every match gets an airing at this gastropub which nestles between Clapham High Street and Clapham North stations. Seats are available to book throughout the tournament.

Faltering Fullback, Finsbury Park
Hands-down one of London's best rugby pubs, the Faltering Fullback is an Irish boozer through and through, so is a particularly savvy option for anyone cheering on the boys in green. Line your stomach with a cracking Thai curry, and be sure to come out for air during half time — the pub has a sprawling, multi-tiered garden. Worth noting that they don't take bookings, so get there early.

The World's End, Finsbury Park
Another Finsbury Park pub — this one notable for its girthsome projector, screening all Six Nations games. There's American BBQ from Red Dog Saloon to boot.

Belushi's, London Bridge + sister pubs across London
If you're after an electric atmosphere, there's no beating Belushi's. You'll find these sports bars all over the capital (and in several other European cities), but we're especially fond of its ultra-spacious London Bridge location.
Here you'll find huge HD screens, booming surround sound, scrum-ptious comfort food (burgers, loaded fries, nachos, wings and more), and tipples for toasting every try in style. The bar's set across two floors, and come match day you can expect every inch to come alive with chants and cheers.
As for what makes Belushi's London Bridge extra special? It boasts several private hire spaces, giving you the chance to elevate your Six Nations viewing experience. Book one of Belushi's exclusive caves and you'll get comfy sofas, well-stocked fridges — no queuing at the bar for you! — and your own private HD screens. Choose a game and book your VIP experience now.
The Ship, Wandsworth
Rugby tops and pints of Guinness are a regular sight at this trendy riverside pub — and that's set to go into overdrive, as the Ship screens every match of 2025's Men's Six Nations tournament. Given the current craze for splitting the G, we feel we must say that Guinness is only available while stocks last.
The Ship, Wandsworth
Belleville Brewing, Wandsworth Common
A smart little south London brewery with the Londonist seal of approval, the folks at Belleville Brewing Co are big fans of the rugger — screening all of the Six Nations action in their newly-embiggened taproom. Email [email protected] to reserve a spot (there's a £50 returnable deposit) and guarantee yourself some above-average liquid sustenance.

Distortion Brewery, Battersea

They brew a superb pint of craft — and you can enjoy one or two of them in Distortion's taproom, while watching any (or indeed all) of the Men's Six Nations matches on two big screens. Booking is recommended. Email [email protected]
Distortion Brewery, Battersea
Gibney's, Old Street
Subterranean Irish sports bar Gibney's is showing every Six Nations game on some very big screens, while pouring pints of its own brand stout (yes, there's Guinness too, Gen Z-ers). The food offering is tempting — salt 'n' chilli chicken with chorizo mayo, and forerib of beef and bone marrow cheeseburger — plus private booths/screens can be shotgunned for larger groups.
Gibney's, Old Street
The Three Lanterns, Leicester Square
With huge screens hanging above the bar, plus another megascreen on the wall, this central London sports bar is showing all the Six Nations action — and is therefore well worth knowing about.
The Three Lanterns, Leicester Square
Flat Iron Square, London Bridge
Head beneath the arches of Flat Iron Square to catch all the Six Nations action broadcast on 15 big screens, both indoors, and out in the garden. There's beer from Camden Town and lashings of street food options. Admission is £11.25 per game, which includes a drink. Also know that The Rugby Pod are hosting live podcasts from Flat Iron Square on 29 January, 19 February and 12 March. Spaces are limited.
Flat Iron Square, London Bridge
Greenwood, Victoria + sister pubs across London
Premium sports lounge Greenwood's wealth of giant HD screens — the upstairs lounge alone has seven of them — makes it perfect for anyone who cares about getting a properly decent view of the match. What's more, they're screening all the Six Nations action. Fair warning, though, it can get very busy, so getting down early is recommended in order to secure a seat. Better still, book a table while they're still there for the taking.
Greenwood, Victoria. Other similar bars in this chain are Redwood (London Bridge), Broadwood (Old Street), Beechwood (Old Street), Goldwood (Bank), Northwood (Angel) Westwood (Wood Lane) and Long Arm Pub & Brewery (Shoreditch). Yes, there are a lot of these bars.
London Welsh Centre, Gray's Inn Road
While it's fair to surmise that most punters here will be sporting red jerseys, the London Welsh Centre is welcome to all comers. It's screening all the Welsh Six Nations matches on two massive projector screens — promising an electric atmosphere, helped along with pints of Welsh ale. If you're a non-member, it'll set you back £10 per match.
London Welsh Centre, Gray's Inn Road
Cabbage Patch, Twickenham
Located a stone's throw from Twickenham Stadium, the Cabbage Patch claims to be the most famous rugby pub in the world. There's plenty of rugby memorabilia for you to eyeball in the lead up/post match, as well as an enviable offering of single malt whiskies behind the bar (handy for celebrating victory, or mourning defeat). Note: on the days England are playing, expect the atmosphere to be very... English.
The Cabbage Patch, Twickenham
Twickenham Brewery
The Rugby Bar taproom at Twickenham Brewery only unbolts its doors on special occasions, the Six Nations being one of them. It's showing England Vs France (8 February), England Vs Scotland (22 February) and England Vs Italy (9 March) — all on its three-metre-wide screen. It goes without saying that pints of uber-fresh ale are poured on tap.
Orange Tree, Richmond
A hop across the Thames from the Cabbage Patch is the Orange Tree, which bills itself as THE pub to watch rugby. There's certainly going to be one hell of an atmosphere in there this Jan/Feb/March — with post-match parties on the cards too.
The Orange Tree, Richmond
The Winchester, Highgate
All matches are played on the big screen (there are a couple of smaller screens too) in this cosy, independent-run boozer. For lubrication there are £5 pints of lager, and also cask pale from Stratford's People's Captain brewery — quite the bargain in this day and age.
The Winchester, Highgate
Pub on the Park, London Fields
The pub, perched on the side of London Fields, is an excellent choice for Six Nations fans. It's got an infinite number of big screens (well, seven), and is showing every game of the tournament. Just remember when you book a table to tell them it's specifically for the sports, lest you end up having to watch it on your phone.
Pub on the Park, London Fields
Big Penny Social, Walthamstow
Humungous bar/entertainment space Big Penny Social is hoping rugby fans will flood through its doors for the Six Nations. There's definitely space — what with its 1,400 capacity. Don't worry about squinting to see the action; that'll be shown on two mahoosive HD screens. Over 20 beers are available on tap, and there's food too. Entry's free, but it's very much worth booking a table.
Big Penny Social, Walthamstow
Signature Brew, Walthamstow
Around the corner from Big Penny Social, Signature Brew will try to steal you away with its heated marquee and massive screen broadcasting all of the matches. There are burgers from 7bone, and the pints are fresh as heck.
Signature Brew, Walthamstow
White Hart, Barnes
This mightily well-turned-out riverside boozer is a sucker for the rugby, and every match is being screened here, with the website inviting you to 'scrum on over' — nice.
