The Government has granted pubs special permission to show the late-night game
The Government has announced that pubs will have special permission to open late for England’s upcoming World Cup match against Mexico. Sir Keir Starmer announced on Thursday that pubs across England and Wales will be able to stay open until 5am for the round of 16 match, which kicks off at 1am on Monday.
MyLondon has already put together a list of pubs that will be opening late for the game here. However, pub chains Wetherspoons, Greene King and Fullers have since released updated lists of their pubs which will be open for viewing of the late-night match up and down the country.
Meanwhile, the National Police Chiefs’ Council has criticised the timing of the Government’s decision to let pubs stay open until 5am, with more than 1,000 venues announcing late openings across the country. In a joint statement, Chief Constable Mark Roberts, NPCC lead for football policing, and Acting Chief Constable Scott Green, NPCC lead for alcohol licensing and harm reduction, said the “late announcement” meant forces would have to make fresh plans and there would be less police available in communities.
The NPCC leaders also requested that England fans should be considerate to others and drink “sensibly” while watching the game. Greene King said more than 600 of its pubs across England will be staying open late to show the match and Marston’s said more than 400 will be open late.
Here is a list of Wetherspoons, Greene King and Fullers’ London pubs which, at the time of writing, have announced they will be keeping their doors open into the early hours of Monday morning.
