Don’t fancy any of the pubs around wembley as I’ve generally thought they were dumps but it’s the 1st time we’re staying in London and what area is best for a drink that’s easy enough to get to Wembley on tube isn’t something I’m educated on.

So are there any areas any blues can recommend from experience? What’s it like around Paddington? I ask because it’s easy enough to get to from where we’re staying and easy enough to get to Wembley from.

Don’t want much, few decent pubs with good beer selection and likely to have a few in that are going to the game.

Cheers in advance.

Paddington is ok for pub's and easy to get to wemberley on the tube (Bakerloo line) assuming they are running.
 
Great Portland Street and Warren Street are only 15 mins or so walk from Euston and Great Portland Street is on the tube line to Wembley Park.

Both areas have some pretty decent back street pubs.
 
I’d go Paddington to Baker Street or Great Portland Street (3/4 stops) then get tube from there (assuming running) we usually go to the Green Man (another one) opposite Great Portland St tube then 20 mins to Wembley Park
 
We normally go Harrow on the Hill on the Met line. Only a few stops from Wembley. Although could be a nightmare now with the Watford fans likely to call there as well as its a few stops down from there town

When we played United the Harrow pubs were allocated to clubs. Might be the same for this. Although I suspect the Watford fans will drink in Watford or Wembley.
 
The Volunteer on Baker Street is a good boozer, just over the road from the tube and right next to the Sherlock Holmes house
 
It's my old stomping ground round there. Some cracking pubs with good beer. I used to love wandering around, you come across some real diamonds in the most unexpected places. Just don't expect a head on your beer, if you drink proper beer that is.

I would focus on the Baker Street - Marylebone Station area. The Volunteer, Alsop Arms, Hobgoblin, Windsor Castle to name just a few.

St John's Wood is very nice and has some good pubs. That's where I usually go. However, they're not usually found by football fans and that's why I like it. :)

On the same line as Wembley, Jubilee line I think.
 
jumping on this thread aswell for advice,
we are stopping in Uxbridge for 1st time,
is it worth staying there or travelling closer to wembley for a few beers.
ie stopping off wealdstone or Harrow
cheers
 
Farringdon is very good. Short hop from Euston Sq/Kings X and then Metropolitan Line direct to Wembley from there. It’s quiet on a weekend too being on the edge of the City but most of the pubs still open on a Saturday and there are some excellent ones, including a Brew Dog & Craft Beer Company place, that’s where I went pre-BHA Semi and it worked v well.
 
I'm coming from a different direction to most of you, but I do have a ritual for these things!

Car to Richmond, Train/tube to Camden Town, Breakfast in Wetherspoons overlooking Camden Lock, Back to either Green Man at Gt Portland or TCRLounge on Tottenham Court Road (nothing special, but huge patio/beer garden area for central London! Pizza's are good too!) Euston Square tube to Wembley.

We’ve stayed in Uxbridge three times now and will be doing next week.
A fair few decent pubs on the high street including a couple of Wetherspoons and Greene King pubs.
If the tube is running you are at Wembley in half an hour and without the mad rush at the bar.

If the tube isn’t running get the overground from West Ruislip. Bus or taxi will get you there
 
Think we’re getting the Marleybone to Wembley, are there any decent pubs for Blues near Marleybone station? Any help appreciated.
