THE BEST PLACES TO WATCH THE ACTION

These London venues are ideal World Cup viewing spots

TOCA SOCIAL

Convince your boss that you can still be productive by decamping to Toca Social’s ‘Watch+Work’ pop-up co-working space. But with big screens and snacks and cocktails courtesy of executive chef Ross Clarke, you may end up doing slightly more than work. (toca.social)

M VICTORIA STREET

What’s better than watching an England World Cup game in the company of a bona fide England legend? M Victoria Street is offering packages including a three-course meal, fine wine and Q&A with the likes of Paul Merson and Terry Butcher. (mrestaurants.co.uk)

MARKET HALLS

This being the first wintery World Cup, beer gardens will be eschewed for cosier, indoor venues. The ‘bookable fan zones’ at Market Halls are an excellent shout, featuring BrewDog beer and food from Black Bear Burger, Le Bab and more. (markethalls.co.uk)

BERENJAK BOROUGH

You’ll be well catered for during morning matches by Berenjak Borough’s first-ever brunch menu. From the first group match to the final, the home-style Persian restaurant offers a sumptuous array of kebabs, mazeh and Madagascan giant prawns to devour while you’re watching the games.
