Where to watch the rugby in London?
By Will 3 years ago, mid-October, 7 Comments »
Right then. It’s a big one tomorrow for the Rugby World Cup Final. Me and my mate have come up with what we consider to be a definitive list of must-haves for a venue in London:
1) Pub atmosphere. A pub, then.
2) Reasonable quantity of South African supporters, but no more than 50%. And that includes those behind the bar.
3) Decent Guinness, and not the extra-cold filth
4) Decent Youngs, Adnams or other draft and a fine selection of snackage
5) Not massively packed. Yeah, ok – stupid request
6) Easy access to outside for the socially retarded smokers like me
7) Oh, and a TV would be useful too
8 ) Unattached ladies to court. Sloanies need not apply. (No funnies about Soho please)
The O2 centre was mentioned but I’m not going all that way. I want it to be central in case we lose and need to drink into the wee hours. In fact, that applies for both eventualities.
So come on – by this time tomorrow I want a choice of at least 10 ideas.

Deuchars IPA, the award-winning beer brewed in Edinburgh by The Caledonian Brewing Company, has become The Official Beer of The Yorkshire County Cricket Club (YCCC).
Classic press release. Only a PR person could capitalise The Official Beer. It’s All Very Exciting And Let’s Use As Many Capital Letters As Possible. Nice pint, though. I used to drink it at The William Wallace (intentional capitalisation there) before it joined the rest of London and turned into a sleezy, shiny, hip-and-happening shmooze-fest of a “pub”. Even the blackboard is fake!
Anyway, ranting again. Must stop the ranting…
