The Euros. They follow the Champions League final and come before the start of the new Premier League season. In the month-long period it runs you can expect the country to consistently gather in crowds to watch the games as bars sling even more pints of lager out of plastic glasses than they normally do (a lot!). And it looks like it might be coming home this year!
This year’s European Championships is running all the way up until the final on July 14 in the host nation of Germany. All across London, you’ll find spaces showing the final and offering up their grounds as a place to drink pints, shout at the TV and cross your fingers in the hope of a late winner. Following a 2-1 victory against the Netherlands, England is now set to face off against Spain on Sunday, July 14, to find out who lifts the trophy. Here are some of the best places to watch the EURO 2024 finals in London:
1. Boxpark, multiple locations
Save for being in the actual stadiums themselves, BOXPARK has become the most sought-after ticket for watching the England games throughout international tournaments over the last decade. Basically, it’s the one that gets shown in the news and splashed across the front pages to depict the ‘scenes’ when England scores. Pop one of the free ponchos on to protect yourself from the UFPs (Unidentified Flying Pints) as you head into the best spot for a grand selection of street food and bevvies at three large London locations. Read more about it and find booking info here.

I mean, how can looking at the spot they’ve lined up here not make you think it’s coming home? Book your spot here.
