The FA Cup Final takes place at Wembley this Saturday, and Manchester United and Manchester City will go head to head. The final is the last match of the domestic football calendar this season.
Cup final day is a pretty big deal for football fans, but this year train strikes will mean many supporters may need alternative methods of getting down to London. Once there, however, many will be wondering where they can grab a pre-match pint.
Of course, London is a city in which you can never really go short of places to drink. Yet with train travel set to be disrupted, there may not be too many fans coming out of the capital’s major train stations in search of a pub.
This is why the collection of pubs we have gathered together have been done so for specific reasons. Many of the pubs are within walking distance of London Victoria Coach Station- this is due to the likelihood of fans coming down to London on a coach in the absence of trains.
We have also taken a look at some pubs located around Wembley as well as one in Westminster- which is a short journey across to Wembley. The big match kicks off at 3pm on Saturday June 3.
