Where Can You Watch The Euros in London?

London is home to numerous sports bars that come alive during major football tournaments. These venues are known for their lively crowds, large screens and an unparalleled atmosphere that makes you feel like you're right in the stadium. We have put together a few of the best places to watch the games this year.

Outdoor Viewing Areas

For those who prefer the open air, London offers several outdoor viewing options that make watching The Euros a unique experience. Make sure to double-check which matches they are showing before turning up to avoid disappointment.

  • The Regent’s Park: Often setting up big screens for major events, The Regent’s Park provides a safe and spacious environment for families. With playgrounds and plenty of open space, it's perfect for a family day out. As with any open area, check which games are being shown before you arrive.

Transportation Tips For The Euros

  1. Plan Ahead: Use apps like Citymapper or TfL (Transport for London) to check real-time schedules and plan your journey.
  1. Use Public Transport: The London Underground and Overground services will be your best bet for avoiding road traffic. Popular lines serving major venues include the Jubilee, Piccadilly and District lines. Buses are a good option but be aware of possible delays due to increased traffic.
  1. Avoid Peak Times: Arrive early and leave late. Consider enjoying a post-match drink or other activity nearby.
  1. Walking and Cycling: Walking can often be the quickest way to get around busy areas. It’s also a great way to soak up the atmosphere. Or use London’s bike-sharing schemes, like Santander Cycles, to navigate short distances. Be sure to check for available docking stations near your destination.

Watching The Euros At Home

Don’t fancy the hustle and bustle of town? Why not invite your friends and family over and watch The Euros at home? Here are some suggestions to help you make a day of it and throw a Euros 2024 party no one will forget!

Theme & Decorations

Decorate your space with flags, banners and colours of the participating teams to create a vibrant, tournament-like atmosphere. Use football-themed tablecloths, plates, cups and napkins to add to the sporting vibe. You could set up a photo booth with props like hats, scarves and face paint for guests to take fun, memorable pictures and encourage guests to wear their favourite team’s jersey to show their support.

Entertainment

Organise football trivia or a mini penalty shootout in the backyard to get everyone in the spirit before the match starts. Then, plan half-time games like a football quiz, a raffle with prizes or a quick round of table football to keep the energy high.

Food and Drinks

Hire a private chef to create a gourmet menu with dishes inspired by the cuisines of the participating countries, offering a unique culinary experience. You could set up a snack bar with a variety of finger foods, such as sliders, wings, nachos and popcorn, for guests to enjoy throughout the match.

For drinks, employ a personal bartender or mixologist to mix custom cocktails and serve a wide selection of drinks, including themed beverages for different nations.

Viewing Experience

Ensure you have a large TV or projector screen with high-quality sound to provide a stadium-like viewing experience. Arrange comfortable seating options like couches, bean bags and cushioned chairs to accommodate all your guests.
