Whether it's the Six Nations or the World Cup, whenever the rugby is on a big screen it's the perfect excuse to make a beeline for rugby pubs in London. Our handy round-up will make sure you don't miss a single match with London pubs and bars divided by area and nationality of rugby supporters - not only for fans from England but also Ireland, Scotland, Wales, France and Italy. Plus, there are also options for those who'd rather not show their allegiance until the matches are over.

Best Rugby Pubs in London
Fans from England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, France and Italy can watch the rugby alongside their fellow supporters at the following pubs.


ENGLAND

A centrally located and traditional-style pub in Covent Garden that welcomes supporters from England and all nations. Expect the pub to be packed to the rafters with over eager City boys plus market stall holders from nearby Borough Market gazing at the giant screens. No green fingered gardeners here but plenty of rugby enthusiasts - and what else would you expect given the pub's location in Twickenham. Giant screens will be beaming the rugby action to Canary Wharf workers. Watching rugby is hungry and thirsty work. Make the most of their afternoon deals of 2 for 1 on bottled beers and cocktails plus 50 per cent off burgers on Saturdays and 50 per cent off roasts on Sundays.

Full of England supporters, The Fest has big screens and a massive projector. Popular with fans of all sorts of sport, the Euston Flyer also has a large screen TV for a great view. Boasting the largest sports' screen in the UK you'll practically be able to taste and smell the sweat. They are screening all of the 2012 Six Nations Rugby matches with doors opening one hour before kick off and it's free to get in.

IRELAND

If you fancy the luck of the Irish, this North London pub is the perfect place to watch the rugby. Tir Na nOg is a traditional style Irish pub that’s family friendly. A relaxing venue in central London with an enormous range of drinks and a commitment to sport.

If you're in central London, head to Waxy's where all the Six Nations games are shown on big screens throughout the venue.

SCOTLAND

Four TVs, a big screen, plasma and filled up with Scotland supporters from all over London. What more could you ask for - except a win?

WALES

Welcoming all nationalities - but a firm favourite with Welsh fans - the F3K is an excellent pub to watch the rugby during Six Nations and World Cup matches thanks to its fantastic atmosphere.

FRANCE

London bars certainly don't come much more French than this bar which is French speaking and the ideal place to support the French whenever they're on the pitch. Expect this French bar and restaurant to be filled with supporters of France who are passionate about rugby.

ITALY

Open 24 hours a day, Bar Italia is the perfect place for Italy supporters to cheer on their team. One thing to be aware of: if there's a big football game on at the same time, the footie will be shown instead of the rugby.

ALL NATIONS

The world's first rugby international was organised by Blackheath Rugby Club, the oldest rugby club in England who just happened to be locals at this pub. There are surely few finer watering holes for soaking up the ambience of rugby matches.

Don't miss any of the big rugby matches at Jetlag, where the impressive HD cinema screen and state of the art sound system almost make you feel like you're at the game.
