Best Places to watch sports

You, like me, may well be asking what there actually is in Holborn. Once the entrance to the City of London, the area is now largely full of offices and hotels, but has retained a number of top quality pubs, something that has been a feature of the area for centuries.

Those few residents who still live in the area are largely students, thanks to the sizeable LSE halls of residence just down the road from Holborn station on the Strand. The area also sits just South of Farringdon station so there’s a high chance those of you who commute from the South East or the Home Counties may find yourself looking for a pub showing the game before you hop on the train home. If that sounds like you, you’d do well to visit one of Holborn’s cracking sports pubs.

Whatever your reason for being in Holborn, we at FANZO, are here to make sure you’re never short of a place to watch the game. You’re welcome guys – enjoy the match!
