Last weekend saw the Six Nations wrap up after six weeks of rugby action. Ireland ultimately walked away with the trophy for the second year in a row. But that doesn’t mean our chances are over just yet. This weekend, it’s time for the women to battle it out for the trophy as the Women’s Six Nations kicks off on Saturday, March 23.
The first weekend of the championship will see France and Ireland matching up, followed by a battle between Wales and Scotland. Sunday, March 24 will then see Italy and England going head to head to find a victor. And since we’re the reigning champions (for five years in a row!)you can bet it’s going to be an unmissable start to the tournament. Fancy catching all the action in a room full of rugby fans? Head to one of these brilliant spots to watch the Women’s Six Nations.
1. The George,Fitzrovia
If there’s one thing you can rely on at this luxurious-feeling boozer – it’s one of Britian’s best-looking pubs – it’s that they’ll be showing all the sporting action. And while many of London’s pubs seem happy to ignore the women’s Six Nations, The George is proudly showing ALL of the matches. And they’ll even be serving their special Guinness Six Nations Menu with snack platters, heaping cheeseburgers and fried chicken sandwiches, hefty pies, and plenty of Guinness.
📍 55 Great Portland Street, W1W 7LQ.
🚇 The nearest station is Oxford Street.
2. Cadogan Arms, Chelsea
As the sister pub to The George, it makes sense that the Cadogan Arms is also screening all of the action. They’ll also be serving up a special Six Nations menu, and big groups can even take advantage of the venue’s Rose Room. The dedicated event space has its own bar and four screens. You won’t miss a second of the action or a drop of your pint!
📍298 King’s Road, SW3 5UG.
🚇 The nearest station is South Kensington.
3. Beechwoord Sports Pub & Kitchen, Shoreditch
Beechwood makes a bold claim about their sports viewing sessions. They boast that they’re so passionate about sports, and get so invested in the action, that guests experience “an atmosphere that’s just as good as being there”. Which sounds pretty fantastic to us! Guests can rock up to enjoy all of the Women’s Six Nations match-ups. Add to that their Six Nations specials (did someone say Guinness Gravy Dip Burger? Yes, they did!), and a pint or three of Guinness, and you’ve got yourself a good time.
📍 1A Principal Place, Worship Street, EC2A 2FA.
🚇 The nearest station is Liverpool Street.
4. Long Arm Sports Pub & Brewery, Shoreditch
Hot off of keeping us up to date with everything the men were up to, Long Arm is keeping things rolling with screenings of every single Women’s Six Nations feature. Grab a drink and settle in to see how every ruck, line-out, and conversion plays out on the venue’s giant, ultra-high-definition screens.
📍 20-26 Worship St, EC2A 2DX.
🚇 The nearest stations are Shoreditch High Street, Moorgate, and Liverpool Street.
5. Greenwood Sports Pub & Kitchen,
Want to know how seriously Greenwood takes their sports screening responsibilities? They have a tracker on their website with a seemingly never-ending list of fixtures that they’ll be showing. And, yes, they’ll be screening every second of the Women’s Six Nations games. That’s as well as the football, cricket, horse racing, darts, and more. Seriously – you name it, and they’re probably showing it!
📍 The Nova Building, 170 Victoria Street, SW1E 5LB.
🚇 The nearest station is Victoria.
6. Brigadiers, City of London
Over at Brigadiers, they’re adding a unique touch to your Six Nations watching with some truly delicious Indian barbeque grub. They’ll be showing almost all of the action, with an emphasis on the Saturday match-ups. Whether you’re at their Blighters Bar, or in one of the private dining rooms, you’re set for an unforgettable match-day experience. There are even self-serve drinks machines in the private rooms – what better excuse to round up all your friends for a day of rugby watching?
📍 1-5 Bloomberg Arcade, EC4N 8AR.
🚇 The nearest stations are Bank, Mansion House, and Cannon Street.
7. Clubhouse 5, Leicester Square
Got mates coming from all corners of London for a viewing? Head to this Leicester Square sports bar, with retro football shirts, a multitude of 4K screens, and viewings of every sporting fixture you could imagine. With plenty of food and drink to choose from, Clubhouse 5 may just tempt you back even when you’re not try-ing to watch sports!
📍5 Lisle Street, WC2H 7BF.
🚇 The nearest stations are Leicester Square and Piccadilly Circus.
8. Twickenham Stadium, Twickenham
Okay, so you can’t watch all of, or even most of, the women’s Six Nations action on the pitch at Twickenham. But there will be one special match-up on April 20 when England will ‘return to HQ’ to face off against Ireland. If you’ve secured a ticket already – or can pony up the big bucks for some of the remaining tickets – you’re in for a thrilling day of rugby!
📍 200 Whitton Road, Twickenham, TW2 7BA.
🚇 The nearest station is Twickenham
Disappointingly, not many pubs and bars around London seem to be gearing up to show the Women’s Six Nations this year – despite the Red Roses gearing up for their sixth championship win in a row. Hopefully, more venues around London will join in the action soon with more viewing parties for everyone to enjoy!
