Where to watch the Semi in London

[GarethEWilliams]

Guys I need to know the best place to watch the game in Central London. I will be getting the train to Liverpool Street. A good Welsh pub (not essential to be Welsh!) with a good screen and beer (essential!). :i-m_so_happy::bonne-de:

How big do you want the pub to be?
My local is smallish and will be showing the game in Islington.
But there are some big Aussie bars around that will be showing as well.
Let me know more details of what you're after and I'll look into it further.

The Walkabout in either Covent Garden or Temple. Temple, down on the embankment, is bigger and will be jam-packed this weekend so would be my preference. The atmosphere in there on Sunday should be well worth the trip.

I was going to say walkabout as well - don't know London at all, but that's always a safe bet for Rugby in almost any city

This website has a list of pubs they recommend for Wales fans to watch the Six Nations, so could be worth checking some of these out to see if they're showing the WC (I imagine most are as the kickoff is 9am)

Geez... If you just read the ***le of this thread it sounds a bit perverted!!

ha ha cheers guys think i am going to go with walkabout, just not sure which one yet. Should of stated that its for the Welsh game Saturday!

Well I am sure it will humming for the first semi as well. Just expect most of the crowd to be from down under. They should be mostly supporting the Welsh though I would expect.

There'll be plenty of pubs & bars open already mentioned, but

1) My club Richmond is offering a deal to watch the Wales vs France game on a big screen at the clubhouse, and for £10 you get a pint of Pride and a Full English Breakfast. Nearest tube station is Richmond.

2) My local pub, the Barley Mow in Chiswick has been opening early to show games on the big screen (with breakfast options available), nearest tube is Turnham Green.

"Le bouchon bordelais", Clapham (http://www.lebouchon.co.uk/index.php)

Always a great atmosphere, the crowd is always half French/half something else (I watched France/SA and France/England there). Last time I was there, it was overcrowded and there were people watching the game from the sidewalk ! (there's a terasse)
