Does anywhere in ED show the rugby? Guinness Premiership, Heineken Cup, EDF etc.


I've tried to persuade the CPT, which is a stone's throw from me, to show it but was told that it was 'A Football Pub'. The two punters in there seemed to be more interested in their pint than the game they were showing. I didn't argue as the beer there is hellish expensive and the place has an atmosphere like a morgue...


Is it possible to get away from football or am I in the wrong place?

A few pubs in ED show Six nations games and internationals, but otherwise the answer is no. The Magdala used to show Heineken cup games on Saturdays (and was also the best location to watch internationals), but football always took precedence on Sundays. However, the new owners have removed all screens (and generally feminised the place) so a subscription to Sky or joining a local rugby club are your best bets. Kings College Hospital RFC is based in Dulwich Village.

I've seen them showing Rugby Union in the East Dulwich Tavern a few times. South Africa v Wales, Heineken Cup... I think the general rule of thumb in EDT is Premiership football has priority unless it's the England rugby team.


Again unless there is some top football on I'd recommend paying a visit to the Vale opposite train station which is a pub most inclined to look after the armchair sportsman - I think if the TV inactive they'll switch it on even if it's EDF Cup but probably muted.

      Car dilemma - do you manage without one?

      🤣 Yes, I can't imagine they'd thank you for that. Sounds like keeping the car is probably the right thing for you.

      That ULEZ check is not necessarily accurate, as someone pointed out above. I did it ages ago. I don't cycle. I got a bike, had a space in a bike shelter (in fact requested one on our road), had a disastrous lesson from someone who appeared to think I was about nine years old, fell off and gave up. A refugee now has my bike and someone else has my space in the shelter thing. Our tent is too big to easily take on public transport, let alone all the other stuff. If you travel light, good for you, but my backpacking days are long gone, as are my days of happily sleeping in a tent I can't stand up in! I didn't know about this zip car point to point option. Is that to anywhere in the UK? Thanks but I did all the sums when I decided to keep the car, and the convenience for me outweighed the obviously considerable annual  cost. I don't think an Uber driver would be very happy to convey things like bags of smelly compost to my allotment 🤣 Which I can take on the bus but it's somewhat embarrassing 🤣

      If you think about the amount you spend on keeping and using a car and how infrequently you use it, you might be better just getting the occasional Uber. We often underestimate the cost of owning a car, as opposed to using a cab. There is actually a name for it in Psychology ('the taxi meter effect'). It's likely you're spending at least £1000 - £1,500 a year on keeping a car (£500 on insurance, £200 on MOT and service / repairs, £180 on VED, Then the ULEZ fee each time you use it, plus fuel, plus depreciation... maybe minimal in this case). If you put that in a separate 'pot' and used it to cover the occasional Uber, you may find your needs more than covered.
