Piccadilly Line 3 stops to Green Park, change onto Victoria Line, 1 stop to Victoria, then walk to Riley's. Will take you 30 mins tops
Number 24 or 38 bus will pretty well take you directly there.Exeter Blue I am here said:Stretford Born Blue said:As daft as it sound, I will miss the Barca home match as I'm staying in London for my son's birthday treat.

There's also a Riley's at Haymarket which is nearer to Russell Square than Victoria but, reading this thread, there might be more London Blues at Victoria. Being in central London, you could be outnumbered by Barca fans so maybe Victoria is better. Might try it myself or a bar near here by St. Pauls' Cathedral in The City but the bar if frequented by Spanish/German/European ' fans '......
