The Match, On Every Wall

The Famous Three Kings holds the corner of 171 North End Road, directly opposite West Kensington tube. Locals call it F3K, and both Londonist and Pubs Galore list it among the capital's most reliable pubs for watching football.

The pitch is volume, in both senses. Thirty eight screens stream Sky Sports, TNT Sports, and more, so the pub shows several fixtures at once and staff take requests when rights allow.

Who would hate it? Anyone after a quiet pint on a Saturday afternoon. On Premier League weekends the whole room belongs to the fixtures.

A Victorian Corner Built for Screens

A high ceilinged Victorian corner pub carved into zones, each with its own bank of screens and sightlines that work from almost every seat. Tripadvisor reviewers describe a room that stays loud and full on match days, with the side areas the calmer option between kickoffs.

Ales for the Long Afternoon

The taps run wider than most sports pubs, with a rotating craft ale selection alongside the standard lagers, and Tripadvisor reviewers single out the range of ales and spirits. Pints sit around £7, which several reviews flag as steep even for Zone 2.

Order an ale from the rotation and the burger over the small plates. Skip the £15 sharing nachos; more than one review calls the portion thin for the price.

Shirts of Every Colour

Match days set the crowd, and with Fulham, Chelsea, and QPR all within reach, the shirts change weekly. The last Friday of every month brings a live act, and midweek evenings drop back to a local pub pace.

What regulars say:

  • Tripadvisor reviewers praise the 38 screens and the staff's willingness to put a requested match on.
  • Londonist includes it among the best London pubs for watching Premier League football.
  • Several reviews flag pricey drinks and a sticky floor by the final whistle; nobody flags the atmosphere.

Who it is for:

  • Anyone who needs three matches visible at once
  • Groups planning a full Premier League Saturday
  • Avoid if you want gastropub food and quiet; the Churchill Arms in London does the classic pub evening instead
