Where to watch football in London

From Arsenal to Bromley, Chelsea to Beckenham Town, Spurs to AFC Croydon Athletic, there aren't many places in world football that come close to the capital. With its rich history, limitless energy and vast array of players, clubs, leagues, stories and backgrounds, it's truly a sight to behold.

Whether it's an iconic Wembley final, a Monday night under the lights at Stamford Bridge, or just watching those old clips of Wenger's Invincibles, there's always some incredible football to experience in London.

No matter who your team is, no matter where they call home, Greene King has you covered! Try our pub finder to secure a seat at your local and drink in the atmosphere.

The Maple Leaf

Situated on an unassuming street in the heart of Covent Garden, The Maple Leaf is a London hallmark that has its heart three thousand or so miles away across the Atlantic in Canada. An institution for this area of the capital, there's no better place to catch a game and indulge in the unique atmosphere.

Grab a pint of true Canadian beer, or have a Caesar made up for you whilst you try the poutine - there's not much here that doesn't originate in Canada, but the sports selection is unrivalled in its diversity. Everything from North America is here, including ice hockey (obviously!) but it also has our new range of UK football too - from the Premier League to the EFL to Scottish Premiership, to Champions League nights, and international games, you'll find it all here.

The King's Head

Dominating the skyline in Tooting, the Grade II listed King's Head is one of the jewels in the crown of London sports pubs. Built in 1896 by architect W.M. Brutton, it's been recently refurbished to make it look and feel better than ever. A wide array of seating options inside and out, and with a host of pub classics on hand to give you a half-time snack, or something more substantial afterwards, the King's Head offers everything you could want whilst soaking in the atmosphere.

Back in 2021, the pub even hosted the actual European cup trophy in the building, cementing its pedigree as the place to watch a game!
