A StarInsights report on Sports Bars in London, in the UK

In just 65 days, FIFA 2022 kicks off in Qatar!

One of the multiple controversies surrounding the upcoming tournament, the World Cup this year will be hosted in the depths of winter to avoid the scorching temperatures typical of host nation Qatar in the summer months.

Football is the most watched sport in the world, with the Olympics coming in second place in terms of appeal and anticipation. However, not every individual from the corners of the world can fly to Qatar. As a result, public viewing has become a firm fixture of the fan culture at FIFA’s events, providing fans who are unable to attend the match with a unique and exciting opportunity to experience all the action and atmosphere of one of the world’s greatest sporting spectacles outside the stadium. 

In England, the sport is like a religion, and watching football games at a sports bar(s) in London has become a culture. Many people prefer to watch the game LIVE in the stadium, but there are lots of people who prefer to watch the action while sipping on a large beer, with their friends in the bar. 

Moreover, no other type of restaurant can replicate the atmosphere that sports bars have for a hyped fanatic. Hence, the ideal place to watch a game is in a sports bar, unless you’re going to a real athletic event. The experience of watching a sporting event with others who support the same side is much more exciting than watching the event alone.

Therefore, this StarInsights report presents a comprehensive analysis of the highly commended and most reviewed sports bars in London for you to pick and choose where you want to frequent once or all the way through the tournament matches.
