Shame the one in Kilburn I used before AC/DC a few years ago seems to have been turned into a sports pub.

A thread where Albion fans can recommend the best drinking establishments for the big day.
My friend Gurjit, a big Chelsea fan who has been to Wembley numerous times follwing his club has recommended to me this morning Wetherspoons on Wembley High Road.
There will be 'Fan Zones' outside the ground. They are well cordoned off areas where you have to show your ticket to get in and they sell beer and food and usually there is music or a band depending on what the club has organised. Can be good fun and a good ol sing song usually gets going. It's what you make it.

The Globe has always been seen as one of the main England fans pubs for a Wembley match. They are certainly not adverse to a few football fans drinking and singing.
Can't speak from personal experience but often seen The Globe at Baker Street busy prior to both football at Wembley and cricket at Lord's (which should attest that it's not a complete shithole at least), obviously a few tube stops away but at least it's a more central location if you're meeting people etc.
The Globe is really good fun as you can watch the bemused tourists scurrying to Madam Tussauds, then just a few quick tube stops to Wembley
Around Wembley is crap now. Green Man is 'alright' but I'd personally not drink around there. Worst case you end up in a Indian banquet hall paying £5 for an out of date, warm can of old speckled hen
I guess this will be full of city fans, being pretty close to Euston?
Good shout on both fronts this was our preferred option, any idea what the temperance is like these days as it almost opposite the castle?The old bill normally arrange one set of fans in the Globe and the other in the Spoons across the road above Baker Street station. My usual haunt is the Thornbury Castle near Marylebone Station. A two minute walk to Marylebone Station then two stops to Wembley Stadium (15 minutes). This route is much less crowded but as it's our day out it may not be as much fun (rowdy)
Problem with the Globe is that if you have a few beers, it's a long way to Wembley before you can go for a wee! I've had a few uncomfortable tube journeys there like that. Kilburn is the answer. Loads of good pubs near the tube station, and much closer.
Every time I've ever been to the Globe pre England match it's been full of utter twats singing no surrender to the IRA. Horrible.
