Highbury and the Emirates have been Arsenal home for over a century. The London Arsenal pub scene clusters around two poles: the matchday venues near the stadium in Islington — Tollington, Twelve Pins, Drayton Park — where pre-match queues form 90 minutes before kickoff, and the away-day pubs across central and south London that fill before any kickoff time, regardless of opponent. Most show every Premier League match; many show Champions League and European nights. Several host away-travel meetups for travelling fans.
