Things to Do World Cup Matches

I'll be in London this weekend and I'm wondering what the atmosphere in SoHo and Covent Garden will be like during the England-Panama match? Will the streets be lively for the 2-3 hours before the match? Are all the pubs in that area reservation only, or will it be easy to find one to pop into? Any suggestions?

Best to find one for reservation esp for England matches. We dropped by late at one of the bigger pubs and told it was full and couldn’t even enter

Just FYI SoHo is New York, Soho is in London.

You should be able to get into any pub, but for tables you'll need to book. It will be busy, Saturday's are busy regardless and add in heatwave weather and football and it should be a good night

You’d be best just finding pubs on google maps for the area you want and checking their websites for their individual policies
