In the heart of Shoreditch, near the wonderful nightlife area around Hoxton Square in East London, you will find Bar Kick. A mix between a pub, a sports bar and a table football café, where you can enjoy yourself every night of the week. Bar Kick is very accessible, the door policy is very relaxed, and the public is often a colourful mix of expats and tourists from all over the world. Making friends during a game of table football is easy - otherwise, you can hang out at the bar and watch the endless football on the many televisions.

BONUS TIPS: In this part of London you can get lost between the hipsters, the sneaker shops and cool restaurants. Also fun: the bar Shoreditch Balls, practically around the corner from Kick. A relaxed cocktail bar where you can play mini-golf.

Obviously, this north London pub is directly linked to Arsenal, but it deserves a special mention here nonetheless. The Gunners pub is not only a great supporters pub, but it is also a kind of football museum. You'll be drowning in football memorabilia everywhere, right down to the ceilings and toilets. You need a ticket to enter on match days, but it is also a great place to have a beer during the week. There is regular live music, the Islington area is fun anyway, and the old Highbury is close by. Don't forget to walk past it: the monumental facades are still beautifully standing. Apartments have now been built in the old stadium, the pitch serves as a park.

George Best is a Belfast child, of course, but he spent most of his later life in West London, in the trendy King's Road area of ​​Chelsea. First as a Fulham player, later as a full-time alcoholic. Best loved going to a pub called The Phene (formerly The Phene Arms) near his apartment. That pub still exists and is now a neat gastro-pub where you can eat well. They are happy to point out the corner where 'The Fifth Beatle' used to frequent.

Best proposed to his second wife Alex Pursey in this pub. When his creditors called The Phene to ask if the former footballer was there, manageress Carmen Davis invariably denied it. If they came to the pub themselves, Best had a special back door through which he could leave quickly.
