With England out of the World Cup the battle is on for France to keep the crown or relinquish it to favourites, Argentina.

If you want to go out and watch the match with others on Sunday, here are a few places in Camden, Islington, Hackney and Brent where you can catch the action.

CAMDEN 

The Pineapple Pub, Kentish Town 

The historic Kentish Town pub has made a point of not showing the football for years. They’ve finally caved in and while the screen may be small, the atmosphere is big.

The Horseshoe, Hampstead 

Hampstead is not exactly known for its football pubs, but this cosy gastropub, which serves its own craft beers, has got you covered for Sunday.

It feels odd to be looking for somewhere warm for the World Cup final, but this is no ordinary World Cup. Fireplaces and hearty meals make this a good bet for the game.

ISLINGTON

Mother Red Cap, Archway 

This traditional Irish pub is known for its raucous atmosphere, and not just for Ireland games. Rumour has it that back in 2020, after an England victory, one customer performed Alan Shearer’s trademark knee slide along the bar.

Café Kick, Clerkenwell 

Looking for something a little more upmarket? This charming Spanish bar boasts an Iberian-inspired menu, mulled wine and, most importantly, table football

For Argentines, Messi fans or just anyone who has Argentina in their sweepstake, El Comandante is a great place to watch South American football, and Sunday will be no different.

HACKNEY

Dalston Roofpark, Dalston 

Want to watch the final alongside Wales legend Robert Earnshaw? Then look no further than Dalston Roofpark. Crucially, despite the name, it’s indoors! 

The Print House, 18-22 Ashwin St, London E8 3DL 

The Adam and Eve, Homerton 

This trendy Homerton pub has become a great place to watch the football. They are booked up for Sunday but are taking walk-ins.

The Three Compasses, Dalston 

Sometimes you just want a proper, no-nonsense sports pub. The Three Compasses in Dalston has two large projector screens and a good beer selection.

BRENT

Boxpark Wembley 

Sometimes it doesn’t feel like the World Cup unless you’ve stood up for two hours and then had a pint thrown over you. And that’s what Boxpark is for.

If Boxpark isn’t your thing, why not combine the two greatest activities on the planet – watching the World Cup and eating a Sunday Roast – at The White Horse?

The Wembley Tavern, Wembley 

If you’ve ever been to Wembley Stadium, chances are you’ve been to the Wembley Tavern. This is the best spot in London for pretending to yourself that England are in the final.
