I've watched more than one match there and it was grand. I don't live in London but a friend of mind does and I've been over a few times.

I'd say your best bet is to watch Dundalk win at home.
Doubt any pub would show it.

Slightly further north.............Dunnings Bar in Watford (a REAL Irish pub ).......they will undoubtedly be showing both games
 
 
Just a short walk from Watford Junction station

The aforementioned Sheephaven Bay in Camden might be worth a try.

Used to show LOI back in the setanta days and the Derry City Exiles supporters club would have gone there for games on tv.

By no means guaranteed but maybe worth giving them a shout.

The twelve pins opposite Finsbury Park station show LOI when you ask them at the bar.  they will normally put it on one of the smaller tvs.  

doubt any pub will be showing it as preference over the PL match.

Police are responding to reports of an incident at London's Oxford Circus Tube station, amid reports of people running away from the scene.

Not sure whats happening but doesnt look good.

A lot of people would be shopping around there.

Doesn't look like a major incident either, no reports of injuries or deaths or even what happened

Appears the yoof are kicking off with each other.

Mad place for a gang fight on a Friday evening with cameras everywhere.  

Probably will end up being West Ham fans fighting with each other again.

I'd say there'll be a terror attack in one of the main European cities over the Christmas.

Crowded streets and main squares with Christmas events/markets are the perfect target and almost impossible to police entirely.
Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been.

Mail Online speculated that the incident at Oxford Circus in Londoninvolved a lorry crashing into pedestrians based on a social media post that was ten days old.

The website’s article on the incident included a headline referring to a lorry and quoted a Twitter post that was from 14 November. The Daily Mail UK Twitter account also posted

Witnesses describe seeing a lorry surrounded by police on a pavement covered with blood.

Mail Online quickly deleted references to the lorry from the article and the social media post. However, it was heavily criticised on social media for speculating about the incident.

Most cities have put up concrete barriers at the entrance to pedestrian areas. I noticed it in Vienna, anyway. Either those or increased street furniture; they all help to stop or slow down the sort of high speed vehicle attacks we've seen.

Doesn't have to be a vehicle attack. Even a knife attack like the one at London Bridge can easily be done and have maximum media exposure.

I suppose at least with the barriers, it'll decrease the chances of higher casualty numbers.

I feel like Chris kamara when he missed the sending off at the Pompey game years ago

Have no clue what’s going on Jeff

Seems that perhaps nothing happened and something just started a panic now
