Watching Thursday's match in London?
« on: August 20, 2010, 08:01:16 PM »
I'm going to be in London for a bit on Thursday (City South area) ... is there a decent pub to watch the game from around that area?  One preferably with other Villa fans?  Thanks!

There's the Roxy Bar and Screening Room in Borough (near London Bridge) I'd advise you call them first, though. As they show films in there alot.

You could always try Villa Park.

Sadly not any longer - it turned into a wine bar or something. In any case it was quite a way from the City. Actually, Dave's suggestion of Villa Park might be your only chance of seeing it - it isn't listed as being shown by anyone on here - http://www.livesportontv.com/football/all-fixtures

Shame, was a decent boozer that. It's on ITV4 anyway.

I wish!  Unfortunatly, I don't think I'm going to have the time for the 2-hour rail-ride there and back.

Although, last time I went ... we won 5-1.

Thanks for the suggestions though everyone.

I think VillaVA was planning to try to watch it at the Globe (opp Madame Tussauds and Baker street tube). Check her Twitter on LichfieldLions?

I suggested to VillaVA us watching it in The Globe. Last game we watched together there was Heskey's debut against Pompey when we won 1-0 and he scored. A much better result than my first visit to The Bell in Maidenhead this weekend.

I'm working very near to there and will pop in tomorrow as I suspect they'll be showing the Liverpool or Citeh game. Otherwise, if I can get out of working on Friday, there's always Zeitgeist  ;D

Ah ... I was thinking you guys meant the Shakespherian(sp?) Globe.  :o

Looked it up on Google Maps, and it's a bit far from where I'm staying, but I might take a tube up there.

Thanks!

Where are you staying?   The Globe is right opposite the tube: you can get to it from just about anywhere quite quickly (in fact you can get from there to the Shakespeare's GLobe in about 20 minutes!)

Come to mine if you want EXCL. Croydon area. me and a mate and a few beers. I would invite VillaVA but I don't think she'd like the entertainment that I've got set up.

I've now watched two games at The Globe and Heskey has scored in both of them.

That's the only positive I can find in last night.
