My very unofficial map of where I end up yelling at large men on screens instead of finishing product specs. A mix of big stadium days and pub nights, all chosen for decent sightlines, tolerable loos and at least one corner where you can pretend you’re just ‘meeting a friend for a quick one’ [you’re not].

Where I Actually Cheer — 7 items
Name	Address	City	Main sport	Best match vibe	Noise level	Screens / view	Typical spend	Booking tips	My take
1Greenwood	170 Victoria Street, London SW1E 5LB	London	Football and rugby	Saturday lunchtime kick-offs with fans drifting in from trains	Loud to jet-engine when a goal goes in	Screens basically everywhere; hard not to see the game	£25–£40 for a drink or two and food	Book for big tournaments; otherwise turn up early and hover by the high tables	Feels like half of London accidentally agreed to meet here. Great if you want atmosphere, terrible if you hate queueing for the loos.
2Bar Kick	127 Shoreditch High Street, London E1 6JE	London	Football	Late kick-offs with a slightly chaotic Shoreditch crowd	Properly rowdy once the downstairs fills	Plenty of TVs plus table football downstairs if your team is losing	£20–£35 depending how many ‘just one more’ rounds happen	Book downstairs for big games; upstairs bar tables turn over a bit faster	Feels like watching football inside someone’s very loud living room, if their living room had eight foosball tables and better cocktails.
3Emirates Stadium	Hornsey Road, London N7 7AJ	London	Football	North London evening games when the walk up from Holloway Road is just red scarves	Surprisingly tense-quiet until something happens, then instant roar	Sightlines are excellent; even the upper tiers feel close	£60–£120 including ticket and inevitable overpriced snacks	Join the membership queue yesterday; resale can be kinder midweek	Feels like entering a spaceship designed purely for angst and last‑minute winners. I always promise I’ll leave on 80 minutes, and I never do.
4Tottenham Hotspur Stadium	782 High Road, London N17 0BX	London	Football (plus NFL days)	Derby-ish fixtures and those random rainy Sundays that feel cinematic	Very loud in bursts, especially the single‑tier south stand	Huge halo screen plus clear views from most seats	£70–£130 depending on fixture and your willpower in front of the food stalls	Tickets vanish fast for big games; NFL dates need planning like a mini‑holiday	The stadium is so shiny it feels wrong to spill beer here. I always end up taking more photos than is socially acceptable for a ‘home fan’.
5Wembley Stadium	Wembley Stadium, Wembley, HA9 0WS	London	Football and major finals	Cup finals and playoffs when every fan has travelled too far to stay calm	Absolutely huge; sound gets trapped under the roof	Big screens at each end; view decent even from the nosebleeds if you squint	£80–£150 once you factor in tickets, trains and ‘we made it’ drinks	Plan travel out as seriously as tickets; post‑match queues are their own sport	Feels less like a match and more like a national group project. I always lose at least one friend to the concourse vortex and find them an hour later waving a plastic flag.
6London Stadium	Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Stratford, London E20 2ST	London	Football and athletics	Evening games when the park lights up and you can pretend you jog here	Patchy but spikes nicely when West Ham score	Big screens; some seats feel far but views are open and bright	£50–£100 including ticket and pre‑match food in the park	Factor in the walk from Stratford; it’s lovely but not short	More ‘event’ than cosy ground, but I weirdly like the long approach—feels like the build‑up in a sports movie, minus the inspirational soundtrack.
7Lord’s Cricket Ground	St John’s Wood Road, London NW8 8QN	London	Cricket	Sunny Test days when everyone’s pretending Pimm’s counts as hydration	Gentle hum with sudden sharp spikes for wickets and dropped catches	Scoreboards and replay screens; views are iconic if you’re not behind a pillar	£70–£150 for a Test day depending on where you sit and how bougie your lunch is	Tickets for big series go fast; outer stands are friendlier on the wallet	Feels like cricket cosplay for adults: blazers, hats, and me in my slightly creased Uniqlo pretending I understand field settings without the graphic.
