Where to watch Leinster game in London?

HBC08

Wondering if anyone can help,

I'm in London on Saturday and was hoping to watch the Leninster v LaRochelle game.

I'll between Covent Garden and Holburn, I'm not particularly familiar with London,is there any pubs around or near here that will be showing the match?

Philomena's near Covent Garden will almost certainly be showing it.

If you wait until the end of May you could just watch them play in tottenham 🙃

Philomena's is definitely the best place in that area for an Irish related match.

With Ireland games you need to be there early but I don't know about club games.

Porterhouse is about the only other pub in the area I can think of that even has a TV nevermind pay per view channels.

Wow,need to be there early as it'll be wedged?

I was hoping to find a quiet spot that might have it on,maybe no pubs like this in central London!

Paddington area is central enough.The Sawyers Arms or The Traders Inn or The Green Man in W2 - circle line for SA,bakerloo or circle for other 2.

Nancy Spain's in EC2A

The Tipperary in Fleet Street

Sheephaven Bay in Camden town - northern line tube.

Most bars with a sports sub will have it on

For Ireland games yes. I have no experience of Leinster games. It's a big pub so it should be fine for clubs which don't have the same following.

London doesn't really do pubs with TVs the way we do so central London won't have many with TV or with subs if they do. Then you have to find one that won't have the soccer on.

The Tipperary mentioned above is good but I've never been for a match so don't know what they show.

Definitely give Philomena's a try before you do that.

How did you get on with finding a decent boozer for the game? Useful information for games going forward!

I had a meeting that was finished much earlier than expected so I was having pints outside at midday,21 degrees, I think I got a bit sunburnt!

By 4 o clock I was getting a bit p1ssed and didn't fancy heading to a busy pub,even though google was telling me i was only 10 mins walk from Philomena's I hit back to the hotel and watched on dodgy box,I was happy out.

Thanks for the info on here.
