Olé Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 Won't work before the game (opens at 2pm) but Number 1 Sports bar off the side of London Bridge station used to be and probably still is run by a top bloke and big Gloucester rugby fan who keeps Natch in his office (which he's broken out for me before) and looks after City fans. I've not been in myself but he used to run the one on City Road that quite a few City went in before our last game at West Ham. Plenty otherwise with Sky before and after, I assume the Belushi's will (though full of Aussie travellers) and Blue Eyed Maid down towards Borough definitely has it.

Mr Popodopolous Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 I've read conflicting things on Old Kings Head- @Olé you'll probably know better than the rest of us. Ha, quite important for us all to know tomorrow- is it an away friendly pub or a Millwall pub? I know it from non matchdays but quite an important thing to get right for obvious reasons.

Olé Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 @Mr Popodopolous I have zero idea about the Millwall-ness of pubs at London Bridge - I assume largely not but perhaps @Piccolo can help. I only know the balance in New Cross and down the bottom of the Old Kent Road. Which isn't in our favour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 @Olé Thanks..ha definitely wouldn't venture towards New Cross or Old Kent Road, clear Millwall territory that. I've think I've possibly been in pubs on NON Matchdays in and around New Cross but never would I venture to one on a Matchday. London Bridge sounds safeish for away fans.

Olé Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 @Mr Popodopolous I'm told tonight during a recce that this place on OKR (see photo) doesn't get many Milwall in (though is 50 yards from their top pub) - have you got enough time to sculpt your tache and buy a fisherman hat?

Coppello Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 I'm planning on heading to the George or the Sheaf (in Borough Market) which will be showing the football. Come out of the Borough Market exit at London Bridge and both are less than a two minute walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may get some Millwall fans drinking around London Bridge, those coming in from Greater London or further afield and meeting friends or family also travelling in. But, they aren't any 'Millwall' pubs, as the area is full of tourists on Saturdays and the prices reflect that. Rotherhithe, Surrey Docks, Bermondsey and New Cross are places away fans may think to drink (all close to ground & with overground / tube stations), but all are Millwall strongholds and probably not the best idea for fans of a club with Bristol City's rep and history with us to openly drink around - as it would be seen as 'asking for it' or simply taking the piss. However, it depends what you want our out of your away day really. If there's only a couple of you and you want a nice, relaxing drink then there are good pubs in and around Surrey Docks and Rotherhite (I mentioned the quiet Angel right on the Thames at Bermondsey Wall in another thread). I don't really know the pubs around London Bridge, other than by name - but sure some show football. I do know that London Bridge is where you want to go for the usual away day feel - as most away fans drink around here, so it will be more boisterous & you'll get a police escort. Bare that in mind if you want to avoid all that nonsense though. There's lots of options though, as Millwall (along with Chelsea & Arsenal) are London's most central club - you could go see the Houses of Parliament, London Eye and the Globe and drink on the Southbank and walk to the ground if you really wanted to. Like I said, depends what you want from day: Bermondsey Beer Mile: low key fans who love their beer. Rotherhite / Surrey Docks: very low key fans looking for drink with dockside / river views. London Bridge: all singing, all dancing away day experience with Japanese tourist filming you singing at police; where the youngsters can feel like they've 'taken Millwall' without actually have to meet a Wall fan. Southbank: for the culture vultures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play mate, you’ve given us some great posts, personally i’ll Be looking for as less hassle as possible so will arrive at LB as late as possible, amazingly I haven’t been to the new Den yet so a new experience for me, went to the old Den 3 times and must say it was a “proper” away day experience during the ‘70s & ‘80s, good luck for the rest of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grey Fox Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 London Bridge has more cameras than kodak, so very safe to drink, it is a tourist area but also a place where many Londoners work and live and has lots of back street great pubs. The potential terrorist threat makes it a high security spot in London so if you must thump someone dont forget to say cheese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why you will not see a single Millwall hooligan in the area. Although you may get more Millwall pubs in those back doubles - especially going towards Tooley Street and Bermondsey Street - but not trouble ones. It's also a good spot for the likes of Leeds to say they took Millwall - whilst guarded by the Met and then the BTP & under the watchful eye of the best CCTV technology in the world!
