A South Lambeth gastropub serving some of the best pub food in London, then a short tube hop across to Stamford Bridge.
The spot
The Canton Arms is the kind of place Londoners argue about. Half think it is the best pub food in town. The other half have not been yet. Either way, it is a much better pre-match plan than a hurried lunch at the ground.
Best moment to visit
Heads up: this is not a matchday boozer. Show up for the food, not the songs.

Book the dining room ahead. Walk-ins get the bar menu, which is still excellent but smaller.
If you want one of London's best pub lunches before a Chelsea game, this is the address.
