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

[Moshe Gariani]

Has everyone else got the 20% off all drinks at the Boxpark from American Express ?

Looks like it is automatic on all drinks.

Make a reservation. You'll be surprised how many places are already fully booked. Avoid anywhere with snickers on the menu.

Cheers. Tried about 10 places in Wembley which were all booked as you say. Stopping off in Marylebone as recommended by a few of the guys.

Same here. Avoiding wrmbley area until later on is the best bet.

Just booked O'Neils in Carnaby Street. Not the highest quality establishment but a guaranteed table and pint in a glass is enough for me.

Green Man is the plan with the big pub garden, although it's looking like a wash out with heavy rain forecast from mid day tomorrow. Anyone know if there's much indoor space or if they'll be marquees outside?

Wrong thread

Not much chat about how to get back! Sounds like travel up to Wembley will be fairly spread out/different routes for different pubs etc. going home is a different story. Fewer trains on a Sunday evening and everyone trying to pile on the same ones?

Yep, expect carnage - especially if there are one or two cancellations (not unusual on a Sunday 'due to lack of train crew')

There is going to be a loooot of face in armpit action on the tube and trains coming home. Just gotta embrace it.

It’s probably one step up from Spoons !

I hope to be too happy (and/or drunk) to care by then.

4.30 kick-off isn't too bad really and the marathon crowds and road closures will have gone. Some will walk overground for a bit, some will want to go back straight away, some will have a few beers somewhere first and pootle back later on. There will be a bit of a mosh around Wembley for those in a hurry, but if you're prepared/able to wait around a bit it'll be fine.

No different from my usual matchday experience on Southern - I am always at nose-to-armpit height.

Please use deodorant tomorrow everyone (preferably not Lynx)

Ooh imagine a whole train carriage of fans wearing Lynx Africa. The way home will smell like a secondary school boys changing rooms from the early 90s.

For those of you who stopped off at the The Globe, Baker Street last time around - what time is needed to get to Wembley as the tube will presumably be busy and queues at the ground and so on. Leave at 3pm?

Do you know if there is a Spoons in Hampstead?
Just asking for a friend

Green Man was a great laugh in 2019. Pretty sure they'll have factored in for April Showers in their outdoor arrangements

I’ve got one group of mates going to Globe and another to Green Man. Think travel and weather will dictate who my favourite friends are
