Where to watch the 2025 Six Nations in London, from sports bars to posh pubs
The Six Nations seems to come around faster and faster every year, and the 2025 edition will kick off on Friday.
Across five of the next seven weekends, beginning on 31 January, a total of 15 matches will be broadcast across London.
So Morning Wire has done the hard and collected the best pubs and sports bars in London to watch the 2025 Guinness Six Nations.
Market Place – Vauxhall and Peckham
This street market vibe houses vendors, big screens and lots of space to watch the Six Nations.
With spots in Vauxhall and Peckham – and new openings due for St Paul’s and Baker Street – this growing chain also houses pool (the game!) and long sharing tables.
Among the food options, Market Place says, are burritos from Yorkshire Burrito, Nepalese curries from Annapurna Spice, tacos from Streat Latin and sushi from Inamo Sukoshi.

The Broadcaster – White City
This spot, by Wood Lane station, is a fresh West London vibe with a big screen.
It is not a sports bar per se but will be showing the Six Nations throughout the next couple of months.
There are private screening rooms and the menu is wide ranging in what many would describe as more sophisticated than a bog standard pub.

Cadogan Arms – Chelsea
Having reopened in 2021 the Cadogan Arms is a classic of west London and sits on the Top 50 UK Best Gastropubs Awards list.
For those interested, the Rose Room accommodates up to 50 standing or 35 seated guests and features a private horseshoe bar.
Guests can enjoy snack platters (Buttermilk Friend Chicken, Black Pudding Scotch Egg and Steak Tarte Toast) for £20pp.

Brigadiers – The City
Brigadiers is the City gem that always over delivers. The Indian restaurant will be showing all Friday and Saturday matches from this year’s Six Nations with a number of screens and private dining.
The hot spot will also do Lunch with Legends, where rugby names combine with a six-course feast menu relating to the six participating nations.
A Lunch with Legends series will also take place with The Rugby Pod hosts (Jim Hamilton, Andy Goode and Dan Biggar) at the restaurant on 15 February. Tickets are £100pp with a six-course feast menu.
Vinegar Yard – London Bridge
Near London Bridge station, Vinegar Yard is an outdoor, covered, space within walking distance of Borough Market.
The space is showing every match and will have burger and pizza options for fans. Groups are welcome.

The Prince – West Brompton
A classic bottomless brunch spot in the Capital, the Prince has a small number of screens available to show the live sport.
But the location is working on a new sports room, which should capture the West Brompton audience for the coming years.

Redwood and co – Various locations
Classics of the London sports bar scene, Redwood, Goldwood and the other branches dot the capital.
They host good bar food, plenty of screens and open expanses in which to stand.
During the Six Nations there should be enough screens for the football, for those who moan at this time of year.

Gibney’s – Old Street
Nestled beneath Richard Corrigan’s Daffodil Mulligan in Old Street, Gibney’s is an underground spot for watching the Six Nations.
The bone marrow cheeseburger from upstairs pairs with the Guinness downstairs, while there are private booths available.

Open in time for Super Saturday in mid-March, Bat & Ball in Covent Garden combines sports screens with high-energy games and food.

But take a coat, it is a bit chilly in there!

The Wandle – Earlsfield
A little bit further out, and towards Wimbledon, is the Wandle. This spot has a garden for when the March sun gets too hot to ignore, and build-in TVs in the outdoor space.

Six Nations at Twickenham
Of course, you can simply go to Twickenham and soak up the atmosphere.
Fight your way into the popular Cabbage Patch for a couple of beers before the game and watch in relative peace while 82,000 fans descend on Allianz Stadium.
Post-match enjoy the party atmosphere at the Shack across the road, and then head to the White Swan on the banks of the Thames for a quiet one before heading home.
