[Albion] Pub destinations in London on semi-final day

[West Upper Seagull]

So my ticket is bought and thoughts are now turning to what pub(s) to head for in London on route to Wembley. In 2019 a favourite destination seemed to be the Globe or Spoons in Baker Street. Would love to get everyone’s thoughts on where people are heading as I want to head for places that will be well populated by fellow Albion fans !

Also, our designated pub at Wembley last time was the Green Man, is it safe to assume it will be the same this time seeing as we’re located at the same end of the stadium ?

before the Leicester away game there was a lot of chatter on social media regards what bar to go to , consequently the pub was full and there was a massive queue out the door and people waiting 40+ mins to be served....

Market Porter is near London Bridge Station that's on the Jubilee Line that goes to Wembley Park. It sells Harvey's Best. Harvey's own pub in London, the Royal Oak isn't far away either.

I'm tempted to come myself! Hope you manage what Fulham spectacularly failed to do and stuff'em.

Jubilee line takes ages though.

A little tip - head over the river and anywhere metropolitan line. Good pubs, quiet at weekends, quick to Wembley

@Springal You're right about the Jubilee / Metropolitan, but you've got Harvey's! Also, changing to the Metropolitan is dead easy at Finchley Road. Likely to be loads of ManUre getting on at Euston.

When I went to Fulham's playoff final, couldn't get into the designated pub near the ground so ended up at the Fanzone near the ground - was OK actually, although did have my 10yo daughter and her mate in tow.

I think our group are heading for Box Park.

 

[Bodian]

But where's the best chippie?

 

[Albion Robster]

Baker Street for the atmosphere…for 2019 at least…

 

[Brian Fantana]

I think our group are heading for Box Park.

Our group would like to as well. I wonder how they’ll sort tickets for it this time. In 2019, they were sold at the same time as match tickets, IIRC.

Our game isn't even on the Box Park website yet (hardly surprising as the FA has only just got round to announcing the date/time). The Plymouth v Bolton game is on there at the moment for this weekends Football League Trophy final. Box Park has been designated a Plymouth venue, as they have the western end of the stadium, as we did in 2019. Apparently fans allocated the western end get the Box Park, so that being the case it SHOULD be ours again. £10, with cheap-ish grogg and scoff, within spitting distance of the ground. Whats not to like ?

Boxpark is ours again, but it is a ticketed venue, and having gone there last time, I wouldn’t imagine the capacity is any more than about 1000 absolute tops. Although I was a bit trolleyed.

 

[wigman]

Spoons Baker Street is where we're heading for.
It was great in there last time.

 

[seagullwedgee]

Blimey, just checked the Boxpark Wembley website and apparently absolute max capacity is 2000.
