Where is everyone planning on drinking before the test on Saturday? I haven't a clue when it comes to London and it would be good to enjoy the build up with fellow League fans!
Thanks in anticipation.

I'll be having a lemonade in Bermondsey and jumping on the Jubilee Line to Stratford about 20mins. That's my old manor though.
I don't know whats local to the Olympic Stadium apart from the huge shopping centre and that part of London has changed beyond all recognition in the last 10 years. If you are coming down for the day by train I'd say have a drink round Kings Cross and get the high speed train to Stratford International from St Pancras.

“You are playing a game of football this afternoon but more than that you are playing for England, and more even than that, you are playing for right versus wrong. You will win because you have to win. Don’t forget that message from home. England expects every one of you to do his duty.”:1230.gif |

Finding somewhere to park is my main concern, then straight to Olympic park I'd guess
Is anything going on outside the ground beforehand?

There's a fanzone according to the leaflet that came with the tickets. you'll probably struggle for parking near the stadium. |

Cheers, gents. Sounds like Kings Cross should be a good starting point.

If KX is your starting point you can try 'Parcel Yard' inside the station www.parcelyard.co.uk and 'The Betjeman Arms' at St Pancras International before heading across town...
A few of us are arriving later today - we plan to drink around London Bridge and Bankside as well as taking in 'Borough Market', Stratford is accessible easily enough from there on the Jubilee Line...
'Bunch of Grapes'
'The George'
'The Globe'
'Southwark Tavern'
'Thameside Inn'
'The Anchor'
'Founders Arms'
Safe journey to all travelling down! |

It's 5 minutes of train from Liverpool Street. Don't know what's open at a w/e there but should be places.

Advice to any tight Northerners reading, do not follow this man's advice 
Bunch of Grapes, George and Southwark Tavern are pretty average pubs. The others are expensive tourist traps. If drinking in the area, I would switch these for Wheatsheaf (the one next to Katzenjammers, not the one in Borough Market), Rake (in Borough Market), Lord Clyde and Royal Oak (my local)

Agree with most of that especially the Clyde. One of London's finest boozers when I used to knock around the Borough.

'The Cow' sits at the edge of the Westfield shopping centre development and the entrance to the Olympic Park (from Stratford). Decent place for a pint pre-match. Average London prices though.

That's where we'll be with a group of 50 dressed as 1980s prop forwards (think mullets, short shorts, 3/4 length shirt sleeves), not sure whether that encourages or discourages you to go... |
