Fulham's most iconic matchday pub. Official supporters pub of Fulham FC, five minutes from Craven Cottage, with the oldest bones of any boozer in the neighbourhood.
The spot
The Golden Lion is Fulham FC's official supporters pub and has been for years, run by GM Peter Eagan. It sits on Fulham High Street, a five-minute walk from Craven Cottage, and pulls a full house before and after every home game. This is not a gastropub and it does not pretend to be one. It is a proper old-school boozer with cheap pints, big screens for live sport and a large heated beer garden out back that keeps going long after the final whistle.
Best moment to visit
Heads up: matchdays are rammed. Get there at least an hour before kick-off if you want a table.

Local tip 🇬🇧
The building has been standing since 1455 and Led Zeppelin used it as a hangout in the 1970s while recording at nearby Manticore Studios. Ask at the bar, someone will always tell you the story.
For a Fulham matchday, The Golden Lion is the obvious pick: official supporters pub, cheap pints, big garden, five minutes to Craven Cottage. Do not overthink it.
