Big men, big games, big screens, bigger pints. The Six Nations returns in 2026, and Vauxhall is one of the best places to catch every try, tackle and win!
Whether you’re backing the home nations, following Ireland’s campaign, or just here for the atmosphere, Vauxhall’s pubs know how to do rugby properly.
From riverside classics to proper locals, here’s where to watch the 2026 Six Nations in Vauxhall.
1.
Mc & Sons
For: Proper rugby atmosphere and Irish flair
A Six Nations institution. Mc & Sons is where serious rugby fans gather (especially for Ireland fixtures) with wall‑to‑wall screens, full sound and an atmosphere that builds from the anthems onwards.
Add excellent Guinness, solid pub Thai food and a crowd that knows the laws of the game, and you’ve got one of Vauxhall’s best match‑day experiences.
Where: 160–162 Kennington Road, SE11 6LB

2.
The Riverside
For: Riverside views and a Thames-side pub setting
Set right on the Thames, The Riverside offers a calmer but still lively way to watch the Six Nations. Inside, you’ll find well‑placed screens, good food and a comfortable setting that works just as well for lunch kick‑offs as evening fixtures.
It’s ideal if you want to watch the rugby without being shoulder‑to‑shoulder — and the riverside backdrop never hurts.

3.
The Garden Vauxhall
For: Big screens, space and long rugby days
Built for big sporting moments, The Garden Vauxhall is a good choice for double and triple‑header Saturdays. Large screens, plenty of seating and street food on hand mean you can comfortably settle in for the day.
The atmosphere ramps up as the matches roll on, and once the final whistle blows, the energy often carries straight into the evening.

4.
The Pilgrim
For: Classic pub rugby and local buzz
A firm favourite with locals, The Pilgrim is a no‑nonsense rugby pub. Screens are well placed, sound is on, and the crowd is friendly but fully invested in the game.
It’s the kind of pub where tables end up talking to each other, and every big decision gets a reaction — exactly how Six Nations rugby should be watched.

The Fentiman Arms

A great shout for watching the match and staying put for dinner afterwards.

The Jolly Gardeners
For: Traditional pub vibes and big match energy
Dating back to the 1800s, The Jolly Gardeners is a proper Vauxhall pub that comes alive on match days. Expect a loyal crowd, plenty of noise when it counts, and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere throughout.
A solid choice if you like your rugby with a pint of ale and a bit of history.
