Rugby season is here, and let’s be honest—watching the Guinness Six Nations at home just doesn’t hit the same. You need the atmosphere, the roars, the nail-biting tension, and maybe even a pint precariously balanced in one hand while you shout at the screen. Luckily, East London has some stellar spots where you can catch every tackle, try, and controversy over the TMO’s latest decision. From Shoreditch haunts to Stratford hangouts, here’s where to immerse yourself in all the Six Nations action.
