A riverside Richmond classic on the Thames, then the short Overground or bus run to the Gtech for a Brentford home game.
The spot
The White Cross is one of the great London riverside pubs. The garden sits right on the Thames at Richmond and floods at high tide, which only adds to the charm. Open fires in winter, deck in summer, river boats drifting past all year. Pair it with the short hop to the Gtech and you have the most scenic Brentford matchday on the calendar.
Best moment to visit
Heads up: the garden floods at spring high tides. Check the tide times if you want a dry pint outside.
