The Alexander Pope, Twickenham
Whilst rugby is at the heart of all of our pubs, it doesn’t get much closer than this Twickenham pub. The Alexander Pope is a stone’s throw away from the home of rugby, Twickenham Rugby Stadium, and you can often hear the crowd roaring from their outdoor garden terrace, fitted out with a mouth-watering Burger Shack. A firm favourite for rugby fans on their way to rugby matches, and for their legendary post-game parties, with live music in their pub garden, and happy rugby fans making the most of the long summer nights!
book nowThe Hope & Anchor, Brixton
In the heart of Brixton this rugby loving pub will be showing every triumphant (or trying!) rugby match, serving hearty brunches and pouring the perfect pint – all in all providing an unbeatable match-day atmosphere for any rugby fan to soak up. With their stunning, newly refurbished garden shacks, which are bookable and come with their own Sky Sports TV screens so you and your squad can watch every rugby game in style. There isn’t a more enviable turf in South London!
book nowThe Ship, Wandsworth
Famously known among Londoners for being not just a pub, but an institution – it doesn’t get much better than The Ship for sports fans. When it comes to the rugby especially, there couldn’t be a truer word. Perched proudly on the River Thames, with views for days, The Ship has long been a go to destination for rugby fans from home and abroad. With multiple TV screens, a huge, buzzing riverside terrace, a tantalising outside Burger Shack to keep you sustained and enough beer to sink the HMS Belfast, rugby fans – it’s time to climb aboard!
book nowThe Park, Teddington
Another neighbour to the home of rugby; Twickenham Rugby Stadium, is the Park Hotel. For those who love the thrill of match-day atmosphere, head down to cheer on your country in this South West London pub and be wowed by the grandeur of the grade II listed Victorian building. Not only do they have multiple screens showing each game and a newly jazzed up beer garden, but they are famous locally for their delicious brunch menu, with innovative twists on British brunch classics. Whoever said breakfast was the most important meal of the day had clearly never had brunch in London. Thanks to Japan being the Rugby World Cup host this year, morning matches mean brunch will be an important part of every rugby fan’s day, so head down to The Park and set yourself up for the big day of rugby ahead.

This pub is sure to be every rugby fan’s dream during the upcoming Rugby World Cup this September.

Nestled in the heart of Richmond, close to Richmond overground and tube stations, this pub is easily accessible for rugby loving friends coming from all over London. Plus, if all the cheering leaves you tired out, their selection of luxury hotel rooms upstairs could provide you the relaxing respite you need (and deserve!).
Book nowThe Alma, Wandsworth
Rugby runs in this Wandsworth pub’s veins! A flagship pub since 1872, The Alma has built a reputation in South-West London and beyond amongst rugby lovers and locals alike for offering arguably one of the best atmospheres to soak up a rugby match, and this year’s Rugby World Cup is set to be no different.
