Anyone know any decent pubs in London to watch racing, especially Cheltenham?

I'd imagine most will have it on, but you want Sky, not the cheap buggers who'll just show 4 races from Ch4 :ooo

Not sure what part of London you are in, but I was in a good racing pub in Peckham. It's very near Peckham bus depot, and there's a Will Hills next door. I cant remember the name of it, but the pub is quite noticeable and it's decked out in English and Union Jack flags. It was a bit intimidating for a foreigner like me going in, but everyone was dead friendly!

Not sure I fancy the BNP headquarters in Peckham but thanks for that anyway

I thought they don't like the Irish?! The fact that I have a skinhead probably allowed me to fit in:laugh

They probably didn't realise you were Irish and thought you were from the north somewhere
