Well, folks, January is slowly (so slowly) coming to an end – which can only mean one thing: the Six Nations is finally back! Well, almost… The first match kicks off on Friday, January 31, with France matching up against Wales in Paris. Then on February 1, Scotland will take on Italy at Murrayfield, and Ireland will face off against England in Dublin.
That means it’s high time to decide which pub you’re going to settle in at to catch all the action. Regardless of who you’re backing in this year’s championship, there’s one thing we can all agree on: there’s nothing like watching with a big group of fans. Fortunately, plenty of London venues are screening the action. So here are our picks for some of the best places in London to watch the Six Nations 2025.
1. Flat Iron Square, Borough
