64 Matches, 32 Countries, 8 Groups, 5 Weeks – World Cup Fever is upon us!!
The first game kicks off on Thursday London time with Brazil v Croatia, and then it is the turn of the Australian Socceroos this Friday. There are a large number of places around London for catching all the Aussie games live – but when and where are the best London venues for you to watch them in action?
Here are three great options that we thought you might like to try.
Jetlag Bar
125 Cleveland Street, Fitzrovia, London W1T 6QB
Popular with Aussie expats for showing AFL, NRL and Super Rugby matches, Jetlag are showing all the FIFA World Cup games live from Brazil, including all the late kick offs. It is free entry for all matches. Take in full coverage of all the Socceroos games whilst indulging in top Aussie beers like James Boags, Little Creatures and Coopers, plus Aussie burgers and sliders. Advanced bookings are available for all qualifying matches and they suggest early arrival as seating is on a first come basis.

Rileys Sports Bar Haymarket
80 Haymarket, London SW1Y 4TE
If you like a sports bar vibe to watch Australia battle it out against the rest of Group B, then Rileys could be where you want to be! Rileys will be showing every World Cup match on their 34 huge HDTVs and giant projection screens. Plus, their special zonal sound system means you’ll hear every word of commentary. Rileys is also offering tables with a dedicated waitress if you book in advance, so you won’t have to tear your eyes away from the action. Rileys are also offering great DJ nights to enjoy and late night opening until 3am, you can party the night away at Rileys long after each match is over.

The Eagle
250 Ladbroke Grove, London W10 5LP
The Eagle has apparently become a firm favourite with London’s more discerning Aussie expats with a classic yet contemporary vibe with really good British food. Eager to please, the gastro pub likes to get in on the Aussie act for the big occasions and will be showing all the Socceroos games live on their big projector screen, with meal and pint deals to boot.
