Jude Bellingham scored two goals in less than two minutes on Monday morning, and Castlefield Bowl now sits inside a larger London watch guide for the FIFA World Cup 2026 quarter-finals. Time Out Worldwide published the guide as the tournament reached the final eight, giving supporters a map of where to follow the next four days of matches.
That matters for London because the city is not being treated as one crowd. Most of London is expected to root for the Three Lions, but the guide also points to places where France and Morocco supporters can gather, alongside venues serving other remaining teams.
Vauxhall, Stratford, King’s Cross
The clearest scale play is The Garden in Vauxhall, which has capacity for around 1,500 people. Frogs in London has been organising events for London’s Francophiles for 11 years, and its screenings also run at Zebrano, the Ministry of Sound’s courtyard and The Minories, giving France-linked supporters four different fan zones and screening spots to choose from.
For Morocco fans, the guide spreads the load further. Casablanca on Edgware Road will broadcast every minute of the action, while HS&Co in Stratford, Egg London in King’s Cross and Oasis Lounge in Finchley are also named as places for Morocco supporters.
Spain, Belgium, and the city map
Bradley’s Spanish Bar on Tottenham Court Road is described as a bonafide institution, and Camino adds three branches in King’s Cross, Monument and Shoreditch. De Hems Dutch Cafe Bar is also singled out as London’s premiere Dutch joint, a useful signal that the guide is built around national followings rather than one generic screen.
The practical value is the spread: central London, east, west and north are all covered, so supporters do not need to cluster around one zone. That is the point of the guide — to turn a compressed quarter-final schedule into a citywide set of options for the remaining eight teams.
Four days, eight teams
The FIFA World Cup 2026 has been reduced from 48 teams to eight, and the quarter-finals will decide those fates over the next four days. For a reader in London, the useful move is simple: pick the supporter base first, then the venue, rather than waiting for a single catch-all screen to carry the night.
Castlefield Bowl headlines may point to one named location, but the guide itself is about access. If you want the roomiest option, The Garden in Vauxhall has the biggest stated capacity in the list; if you want country-specific company, the Morocco and France listings are the most explicit places to start.
