The World Cup 2026
Finding a great pub to watch the World Cup in central London is one thing. Finding one with a huge projector, happy hours every night and a function room for up to 100 guests a short walk from Holborn Station is another matter entirely. The Hercules Pillars has all of it.
A charming traditional English pub on Great Queen Street, The Hercules Pillars will be showing a selection of World Cup games live on our huge projector and HD screens throughout the tournament. Whether you are slipping away from the office for an evening kick off or planning a proper group outing, you will find a pub that balances genuine character with everything a great match day requires. Classic pub food including Fish and Chips and Steak and Ale Pie is served seven days a week from 12pm to 9pm, and happy hours run every evening to make sure the drinks keep pace with the football.
For groups, The Hercules Pillars offers one of the most spacious private hire options in Holborn. Our function room accommodates up to 100 guests and is ideal for a dedicated World Cup viewing with colleagues, friends or family. Speak to our team about availability and drink packages for your event.
Moments from Holborn Station and a short walk from Covent Garden, The Hercules Pillars is one of central London's most well located and well equipped traditional pubs for watching the World Cup this summer.
