Planning a few early beers in the London Bridge area tomorrow before heading on to Spurs. Can anyone recommend any good pubs that will be showing the 12.30 game ?

The dull part of the south coast
Bunch of Grapes and The Anchor get my vote.


The Shipwrights Arms was the pub we used when we beat Arsenal 2-1 the season before last. We were getting some very strange looks from a few of the tough looking hombres in there. It was only when we left that I found out they were all Millwall fans, they were playing at home that day, and South Bermondsey is just one stop down from London Bridge. I survived to tell the tale!

I don't think they'll have the football on, but for anyone opening the thread looking for recommendations without caring about Man City vs Everton...

I like the Horseshoe Inn.


It's tucked out of the way, so popular with locals and is just a solid, unpretentious PUB with decent food.

With Texas Joe's Slow Smoked Meats just around the corner, it's quite tempting to just head there: https://www.texas-joes.com/
 


Bonus is Millwall playing on the Sunday so Old Kings Head should be lighter than usual, it has the biggest screens of any of these pubs mentioned (many of which have no TVs at all)

George Inn down one of the side alleys off Borough High Street - last remaining galleried coaching inn in London, dating back to C17. Used to be loads of them in the area to park up the coaches on the south side of the river before crossing into the City.

Now Greene King owned, but a cool bit of historical architecture none the less.
It's actually National Trust owned, but licensed to Greene King.

The architecture is quite unique and wonderful and well worth a visit, with or without considering whether they show the football. And, if memory serves, all the bars there are cramped and narrow, so - unless they've rigged up big screens in the courtyard - doesn't really make for optimal football viewing

True, I didn't read the question properly and was just suggesting a pub worth visiting, not one for watching the football!

The Bridge Tap was decent before the SEMI

A impromptu SEMI has ruined many a night out for me too.

Magic Mike at the Odeon was particularly awkward

Can anyone recommend a good search engine where I could look up the names of a dozen good pubs in the London Bridge area showing the 12.30 game?
Yes. If you’re of a certain age then Alta Vista will meet your needs.

Well done for taking the time to give such a sarcastic response, give yourself a pat on the back !
:clap2:
Maybe I preferred to ask this question to get recommendations from fellow Albion fans that have drunk in the area and may be heading there tomorrow - information a search engine can’t provide

No TVs but the Market Porter is fantastic if you're an ale drinker and the Royal Oak a bit further away but a Harvey's pub.
