Where can I watch rugby with my pants on?

My friends and I are all keen rugby fans, but we’re short of a pub for six nations games in the West End or West London that has a reliably good atmosphere for the games. We don’t want to drink a yard of ale and sing obscene songs with our trousers round our ankles, just have a couple of beers in a good ...

Does anyone know of a pub basically anywhere in London (SE ideally, though) that will be showing the Middlesbrough match on Saturday 17th Feb (V West Brom Albion, 5th Round FA Cup)? I’ve a bunch of Boro mates coming down to see Rufus W on Sunday and it’d be nice if I could pander to their every whim. I...

I like cricket. There, I’ve said it. Now that I’ve done the hard bit, I want to know how I can get to see the World Cup cricket matches that start in mid-March without having to give up work completely. They’re going to start around 14.00 (they’re in the West Indies) and I can wangle jobs ...

Where’s the best place to go climbing in London? I used to do it a couple of years ago in Manchester and I’d quite like to get back into it. Indoors or outdoors. Anyone got any personal recommendations?

Hi, For the FA Cup final in May, does anyone know of a pub which shows the game and is known to be a Chelsea UN-friendly place? Would be very great if anyone could come up with an idea or two. Thank you!

I have done the hashing, but heard there is ‘bashing’ beer and bikes and silly songs…. But the cycle clubs seem to be be the ‘serious sort’. Does anyone know of one or have gone on one?

I was happily avoiding the 6 quid an hour at Clissold courts by going to London Fields for the past year. But when I book them now she tells me since the Lido opening, if the rangers come round, there will be a £5.50 charge. She said it’s not likely, but just so that I was aware. Anyone know of any fr...
Good place for a kick of a ball with mates?

As soon as sunshine hits our fair city (and by sunshine, I mean something 20+), parks go bezerk. More power to you, Londoners, for getting amongst the sunshine, but the explosion in populations leaves everything crowded. We are a group of mates who’d like to meet up for a kick of the ball (with fairly varie...

I’ve just recently taken up swimming and it’s been a blast. I’m now just looking for those swimming park places. I remember when I was young going to Water Palace, to the best of my knowledge I think it was in Croydon, but it got shut down for some reason (if you know why, note it here as well please). This place ha...

Hello I think gyms are moderately boring but enjoy racquet sports and have always wanted to learn how to play squash. Does anyone know where I might be able to do this? I live in De Beavoir so on the cusp of both Hackney and Islington. I know there are posts about where to play squash before but nothing really...

I refuse to believe this is true, but I can’t find a non-members squash club/court/whatever! The only one I have found in London thus far is in Brentford, and given that I need access in the middle of the day from the City, it’s not helpful. So, does anyone know of a good ‘place’ with squa...

I’ve just got back from a weekend in France and the main difference between the bars I went to there and the pubs I go to there was that none of the bars I went to there were playing football or rugby 24 hours a day and none of them had giant flashing gambling machines. And it was really nice. Tres nice. My qu...
Never try travelling in Twickenham on a match day....A lesson.

You’d think I would have learnt my lesson, having lived in twickenham since time began I was born. I made the fatal error of travelling from where I live through the Twickenham station to get to work, as the buses were still on divert at the time I was leaving. AKA. No buses that go near where you want unle...
Cyclists, why do you hate other cyclists?

Cyclists, what do you most despise about your fellow cyclists? I hate the fuckers who seem to feel the need to get dressed up as if they’re attempting a cross Pyrenees tour in order to do a 30 minute commute to work. Apart from that, I hate it when they don’t make full use of the BIG GREEN BOX WITH A FUC...

Sod cycling through the canals, cycling along dodgy parts of London sounds more challenging… Do you recommend any good pubs (maybe notorious for drugs/shootings) or anything historical of note in these areas? Any greasy spoons, Nigerian cafes etc…? Any quality estates worth seeing? Any ‘No-Go...

So, The Husband and I cycled over to Broadway Market this past Saturday afternoon (c.2pm). We locked our bikes (with thick cable locks) to iron railings along one side of Andrews Road, just near the corner of Broadway Market. Lots of bikes locked up there and lots of pedestrians passing by. Well, after some rando...

I teach Hatha-Vinyasa (a flowing form of yoga based on ashtanga) from beginners to advanced, Restorative (remedial scoliosi...
