Saint Garrett Posted 17 October, 2012 Share Posted 17 October, 2012 Heard it's not particularly away fan friendly around the Boleyn, although there is a wetherspoons near East Ham tube stop apparently. Where is everyone aiming for ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackanorySFC Posted 17 October, 2012 Share Posted 17 October, 2012 Heard it's not particularly away fan friendly around the Boleyn, although there is a wetherspoons near East Ham tube stop apparently. Where is everyone aiming for ? Plenty of decent places for a drink out East. Some great old fashioned boozers in Wapping (2 stops and 2 mins from Canada Water which is on the Jubilee line) either side of the tube station. Captain Kidd is my personal favourite, has own brewery, cheap lager (£3 a pint ffs)/ ale and used to hang pirates from there! Old fashioned cobbled streets and wharf buildings round there, class. Bethnal Green a decent shout too, Mile End has some good boozers just off the High Street and even around Tower Hill on the Minories loads of good bars and easy access to Upton Park on the District Line. Not forgetting Shoredich and it's "gentlemans bars" (after the game for me personally). I'd avoid around the ground personally, no real trouble there, been to both the Queens and the Anne Boleyne a few times and the trouble with them is they are packed and s*** holes, far better boozers to check out in the capital in my opinion.

ericb Posted 17 October, 2012 Share Posted 17 October, 2012 drunk round west ham loads and you never get any bother, think you're probably just watching too much green st to be fair. Loads of good pubs on the route out mind, definitely recommend drinking round spitalfields/brick lane then a short hop from either whitechapel or liverpool st on the tube.

Saint Garrett Posted 17 October, 2012 Author Share Posted 17 October, 2012 By away fan friendly I don't mean getting bother I just mean they won't let away fans in. Also I'm sure there are much nicer places to go on the route to West Ham rather than drinking around the ground. Went to some cracking pubs in London when I went to Arsenal.

SuperMikey Posted 17 October, 2012 Share Posted 17 October, 2012 West Ham fan I know says your best bet is a hotel about 5 mins walk from the ground - can't remember what it's called though. I'm going up on the coach so I imagine the coppers at the stadium will tell us where to drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingwing Posted 17 October, 2012 Share Posted 17 October, 2012 Me and a mate had no problems in the Denmark Arms last season, not far from East Ham station and squeezed in a bad game of pool. No idea what it'll be like on a Saturday afternoon though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rshephard3 Posted 17 October, 2012 Share Posted 17 October, 2012 We drove to Upton Park last season, after the Soton-Waterloo leg, can anyone give me an idea how long to get over to Upton Park tube station then walk to the ground? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pingwing Posted 19 October, 2012 Share Posted 19 October, 2012 http://www.tfl.gov.uk/corporate/media/newscentre/25973.aspx Cheers that's quite helpful, means going to and from the ground will be best via East Ham as that's the first stop for the district line and there wont be many people on it for getting back into central london.

Saint Garrett Posted 19 October, 2012 Author Share Posted 19 October, 2012 Anyone intending on drinking around Embankment ? I would assume a lot of people will be arriving in Waterloo, walking over the bridge and then getting the tube to East Ham from there? Been in the Princess of Wales a few times, and that seemed quite decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintrich Posted 19 October, 2012 Share Posted 19 October, 2012 I'm not sure where we ended up last season, but couldn't find a pub. Just lots of foreign markets and halal meat places. I guess that doesn't narrow it down too much. Think it was white chapel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDogMatt Posted 19 October, 2012 Share Posted 19 October, 2012 (edited) JackanorySFC makes good suggestions. I would add Borough Market V near London Bridge Jubilee Line Hole in the Wall Waterloo Several new bars and pubs Red Cow best at Westfield Stratford Personally I will be in the Red Lion CLOSED! on Eldon Street v near Liverpool Street b4 the game, couple of stops on the Central then District Other oubs open at LPS The Railway and Lord Abercrombie Coyr Edited 20 October, 2012 by MadDogMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
