The best pub quiz nights in London, from Islington weekly institutions to Dalston late-night trivia. Where to go, when to go, and how to win.
The short answer
9 ranked rooms follow. How we picked is at the end of this guide.
The best pub quiz nights in London are genuinely competitive events that happen to take place in rooms that also serve beer. We have attended over forty different quiz nights across the city in the past two years, keeping notes on question quality, atmosphere, prize structure, and the essential metric of whether the pub fills up with the right kind of people. These are the ones that made the final cut.
These pubs have been running their quiz nights for years — sometimes decades. The question writers know what they are doing and the regulars take it seriously enough that you need to book a table if you want one. Walk-ins possible, but not guaranteed.
