UEFA Euro 2024 lands in Germany this summer, from 14 June-14 July — but if you're sticking around in London, there are plenty of places to watch all the matches.
Safe to say that most pubs with a TV will screen the England matches (group games on 16, 20 and 25 June), although whoever you support, there'll be somewhere to cheer on your team.
It's early days at time of writing, so for now we're leaving you with a list of venues across London where giant screens and big atmospheres are the name of the game — as well as a few venues that we think offer something a bit different/special.
Our list will grow as more places announce what they're doing.
Baller FC
Baller FC — a welcoming, all-inclusive community of football fans — set up shop at The Stag's Head, Hoxton for the 2022 Women's Euros, and again in 2023 at Signature Brew for the Women's World Cup. We hope they'll be back this summer, for more footy minus the 'attitude' that sometimes comes with. Baller FC
Big Penny Social, Walthamstow
Blackhorse Beer Mile brewery Big Penny Social boasts a 16ft wide HD screen in its massive beer hall — and there are over 20 beers on tap to celebrate/commiserate with. A good shout for a raucous afternoon. Big Penny Social
Clapham Grand, Clapham Junction
A 24ft HD cinema screen, six additional plasma screens — plus two more screens on the balcony... The Clapham Grand is a suitably cavernous venue to watch Euro fixtures, and has a heck of an atmos, especially during England games. Clapham Grand
Bar Kick, Shoreditch
Some of London's sports bars leave something to de desired, but not Bar Kick — a venue that'll be heaving come the Euros, thanks to its liberal scattering of screens, good bar food, and the foosball tables on which you can try to reenact the latest Harry Kane goal. (btw these are free to play on, on Mondays). Bar Kick
Boxpark Shoreditch, Croydon and Wembley
All three Boxparks — in east, south and northwest London — screen the footie, offering a Kop-like atmosphere during England matches (for which you should book your spot). This being Boxpark, mind your head for beer showers when England score. Boxpark
4theFans Fan Park, Dalston Roofpark
Another venue bringing the partay vibes, Dalston Roofpark hosts the 4theFans Fan Park, featuring 'the biggest & best fixtures of Euro 2024' (including all England matches) complete with huge anti-glare screens, football legends in conversation, DJs and more.
Vinegar Yard, London Bridge
For al fresco big screen viewing, the courtyard at Vinegar Yard — right next to London Bridge station — is worth having on your radar, not least because there's also lots of tasty grub on site. Vinegar Yard
TOCA Social, Greenwich
The O2's playground for football lovers invites you to takes pens on an interactive scoreboard — but when the Euros roll around you'll want to sit back and let the pros take over. TOCA is the place to come if you've got a group who want to watch on a private screen. Not a cheap option, but it does mean you'll get a good view, and won't have to scramble at the bar come half-time. They're also doing a 'Junetoberfest', which means you can chug steins of Bitburger while you watch the games. TOCA Social
Feed the Yak, Elephant and Castle
Formerly The Tap In (a much better name surely?), this E&C bar still provides the double whammy of screening the sport AND pouring decent craft beer — which is is why it makes it onto this list. (The burgers from Sayer St look yummy too.) Feed the Yak
Outdoor screenings on Lower Marsh
As part of its Lower Marsh Lates series, two England matches — Denmark V England (20 June) and
England V Slovenia (25 June) will be shown on a big outdoor screen for free, on Lower Marsh in Waterloo. That said the first of these is already sold out, so you'd better be speedy booking. We hope that if England progress, there'll be more of these screenings. There are also films and Olympics coverage.
Euro 2024 fan villages
We'll keep you in the loop with more fan parties/villages as they emerge. It tends to be that the further England progress, the more of these spring up around London.
