If you are coming into Euston then the Euston Taps is a nice place for a quick beer if the sun is out. A good place to meet up if you are on different trains. But they don't serve food

If you want to stop on the way the Railway pub near West Hampstead station is a good place to stop 5 mins on the tube away from the stadium.

They do serve food.
Remember to get off at Wembley Park Station, not Wembley Central. It is a much better experience.
I could agree with you but then we would both be wrong.
If you have a bit more time, I would suggest Covent Garden/Fitzrovia/Soho.
The area surrounded by Charlotte Street in Fitzrovia is very nice and is an area typically missed by tourists.
The Porterhouse in Covert Garden in Covent Garden is a great pub, and has great beer and food.

If you don't want to spend much on you beer try find a Sam Smiths pub, they are the most wallet friendly pubs you will find in London for food and drink.

Oh and one last suggestion...
If you want to avoid the crush to get onto the Tube at the end of the match, why not stop in one of the restaurants in London Designer Outlet just outside the stadium. If you get a move on you can get a table have some food, drink a beer and wait for the crowds to disappear.

Many Wire fans have been using the Green Man regularly over the last decade. Would be good to see you there.
...As mentioned above by the OP. Been there, done it, worn the T shirt. Do try to keep up!
While you're visiting here, perhaps you could post this link on your forum? I don't recall many Wire fans there over the last decade...http://www.skolarsrl.com/major-event...-night-lights/
Thanks
The Nags Head in Covent Garden is a very popular pub for Rugby League fans, particularly the ones doing a weekend trip, must try The Porterhouse next time we're down, thanks KB.
Where are you heading for Barry remember meeting you on the banks of the Thames possibly last time we were down. It was early morning and you said you were heading for the hole in the wall and I thought it was a pub when it was an ATM. Then a few weeks after at Warrington away when you were squeezing through crowd gripping a few pints.
I could agree with you but then we would both be wrong.

Gripping pints? Sounds most unlike me!
It could just as easily have been The Hole in the Wall pub. That used to be my local when we lived in Waterloo.
I'm not sure what the plan is yet. I go to the final each year with a mixed bunch of mates. The guy who organises it is a Wiganer, so we'll probably be meeting up in some losers greasy spoon cafe like they do on The Apprentice. (Probably The Argyll Arms, Oxford Circus as it has been for many years). Maybe China Town after the game for a bite to eat? Obviously it's more complicated this year as the Saints crowd will be in town too, Could get messy!
Yeah, that makes sense for you if you need London Bridge.
Wembley Stadium station does seem to clear quicker, and it is a fast train into town.
Marylebone Station is also on Bakerloo tube line so folks can get into the centre of town quite easily. Also, it's only 5 mins walk from Baker Street for the other lines.
I'm guessing you already know this stuff. I'm just saying it for the benefit of others.
Greeting to everyone - afraid I have been pretty much a lapsed fan being stuck down here though will obviously be at Wembley Saturday. For those of you who like Czech beer and want an alternative to the poor pubs of Wembley try the Czech & Slovak club at West Hampstead - 5 mins walk from West Hampstead Jubilee line station (which is 10 minutes up to Wembley Park). Proper Czech draught beer at reasonable prices (for London that is).

Anyone know if any old regulars from the Bath Springs are still about and if so where do they drink now ?
