Spurs - Watering Holes? (1 Viewer)

If you're around there take a 5 minute walk into Shoreditch, much more choice on pub front.

Anyone else having a few beers around Liverpool Street before the game?

Plenty of places around Liverpool Street to drink. Most away fans with large numbers usually drink in the Hamilton Hall (Wetherspoons so cheap & kid friendly & is big). There is also the Railway Tavern, White Hart, Lord Aberconway, Kings Arms & Dirty Dicks very close at hand.

No need to walk anywhere! Plus the Hamilton is virtually at the end of the platforms.

Just looked up Hamilton hall on google earth it looks miles away from the ground is there any more pubs closer

Is The Corner Pin still right outside the away end?

Used to drink there just before the game in the old days, need one after the walk up the hill from Seven Sisters.

Over the years the Tottenham Supporters Club, in particular Jim Davidson and Alan Stanbrook, have been instrumental in inviting ‘away supporters’ to the Centre. As a result we are one of the few venues that welcome away supporters on match days. The relationship between the fans is always respectful and long may it continue.

Other way round at our place.

Due to a number of pubs going out of business in the area around the ground, the choice for away fans is now rather limited. Simon Hornby informs me; 'The best place for away fans to get a drink is the Harringey Irish club on the Pretoria Rd which is opposite White Hart Lane station. It has two large bars showing Sky Sports, offers reasonably priced food and you can also park there for £10'. Dean Palmer adds; 'When you get off the train at White Hart Lane, go straight out of the metal gates and walk straight down the road in front of you. After a couple of hundred yards there is a car park on the left hand side, and the social club is in there. There are always a few away fans in there, and kids are also allowed in there too'.

Tim Pick a visiting Wolverhampton Wanderers fan adds; 'We drank at the Elmhust on Lordship Lane, which is about a ten minute walk away from the ground. It is large mock tudor style looking pub with 4 or 5 Sky Sports screens. There were home fans and away fans in colours mixing with out any problems. Prices were okay too (for London)'. Carsie a Spurs fan from Belfast recommends; 'The Three Compasses which is situated in Queen Street (behind Middlesex University), which is a five minute walk from White Hart Lane Station'.

It may be an idea to drink in Central London before the game and then take a train to White Hart Lane Station. There is a Wetherspoon outlet at Liverpool Street Station from where you get the train to White Hart Lane. If you decide to take the long walk from Seven Sisters tube station to the stadium, then there are a number of pubs along the way.

Steve Dobson adds; 'I also suggest that visiting fans with a thirst for real ale, consider catching the train from Liverpool Street and stop off at Hackney Downs to visit the Pembury Tavern. Good beer and quality food. From there it is only 10 minutes on the train to White Hart Lane. The pub is only a couple of hundred yards from Hackney Downs station on Amhurst Road'. The pub which is featured in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide has no less than 16 real ales on offer! The question is, will you still then make it to the match?

Inside the ground alcohol is served in the refreshment areas. This is in the form of plastic bottles of Carlsberg (500ml). But please note that alcohol is not served in the away section at half time.

So Hamilton at Liverpool St does not sound a bad idea, I coming into Euston, so 5/10 minute tube ride, then the train to White Hart Lane mainline station is four minutes walk from the stadium.

Pretty sure the Elmhurst is closed now.

Otherwise that is all pretty much as I have already suggested. No charge ;-)

The Irish club sounds good to me close to ground too
