Where to Stay in London
The Savoy
One of the world's most iconic hotels, The Savoy has hosted royalty, rock stars, and Hollywood legends since 1889. Located on the Strand with Thames views, it features Art Deco and Edwardian interiors, the famous American Bar (one of the oldest cocktail bars in the world), and Gordon Ramsay's restaurant.
Claridge's
Art Deco grande dame of Mayfair since the 1850s. Cate Blanchett, David Beckham, George Clooney, Rihanna.
The Green Rooms
Set in a converted 1930s cinema in Wood Green, The Green Rooms offers apartment-style rooms with kitchenettes and a creative community vibe at prices that won't break the bank. Visiting fans on a budget love the Piccadilly Line access that connects directly to central London and onward to Wembley.
The Hoxton Southwark
A design-forward hotel on Blackfriars Road with a rooftop restaurant overlooking the Thames and St Paul's. Football fans heading to Wembley or The Den appreciate the central South Bank location, while the lobby co-working space and Albie restaurant give it a buzzy London energy around the clock.
The Ned London
One of the most spectacular hotel openings of the last decade, The Ned occupies the former Midland Bank headquarters in the City of London designed by Sir Edwin 'Ned' Lutyens. The banking hall now houses nine restaurants, and the rooftop terrace overlooks St. Paul's Cathedral. Athletes, musicians, and film stars heading to the O2 or Wembley make it their London base.
Where to Eat in London
Blacklock Soho
Tucked in a Soho basement, Blacklock serves some of London's best-value chops and steaks in a buzzing, candlelit atmosphere. It's the kind of carnivore's den that NFL London Series fans and Premier League visitors fill up before heading to the stadium.
Borough Market
London's oldest and most celebrated food market (1,000+ years) with artisan producers, street food stalls, and gourmet ingredients under Victorian railway arches.
Dishoom
London's most beloved Indian restaurant, inspired by the old Irani cafes of Bombay. Multiple locations, but the Covent Garden original is the most iconic. The bacon naan roll at brunch is worth queuing for. Adele, Ed Sheeran, and visiting American celebrities are frequently spotted here.
Dishoom King's Cross
Dishoom's King's Cross branch — inspired by the Irani cafés of old Bombay — is consistently one of London's most-visited restaurants. The legendary bacon naan at brunch and the black daal at dinner are cult dishes. For fans spending the weekend around Wembley events or the O2, Dishoom provides a quintessentially London dining experience that transcends any individual location.
Hawksmoor Borough
Hawksmoor Borough is widely regarded as London's finest steakhouse, serving aged British beef from native breeds in a beautiful Victorian railway arch that has become the definitive pre-match treat for fans attending Oval or Twickenham fixtures and for those simply celebrating the London sporting life. The Sunday roast is one of the capital's most booked tables, and the cocktail list is exceptional. For sports fans who mark a great trip with a great meal, Hawksmoor Borough delivers the memory of a lifetime.
Nobu London
First Nobu outside the US (1997) on Old Park Lane. David Beckham, Kate Moss, Rihanna, Leonardo DiCaprio.
Best Bars in London
Annabel's
The world's most exclusive private members' club since 1963. Princess Diana, Frank Sinatra, Beyoncé & Jay-Z, Drake, Rihanna.
Chiltern Firehouse
London's most paparazzi-heavy restaurant and bar, set in a converted Victorian fire station in Marylebone. A magnet for A-listers — David Beckham, Rihanna, Taylor Swift, and practically every celebrity in London has been photographed here. The terrace is the ultimate spot for celebrity sightings.
The Boxer
A Marylebone pub that takes sport and craft beer equally seriously, The Boxer screens every major match across multiple floors. American fans in town for NFL London games will find a welcoming mix of football cultures and excellent cask ales.
The Connaught Bar
Multiple-time winner of the World's Best Bar award, with its iconic Martini Trolley and David Collins-designed Art Deco interior. The Connaught Bar in Mayfair is London's most glamorous drinking destination. Premier League owners, Hollywood royalty, and fashion elite are regulars.
The George Inn, Southwark
The George Inn in Borough Market is London's last surviving galleried coaching inn, a National Trust property that has served travellers since the 17th century and today provides one of the capital's most atmospheric pre-match pints for fans heading to The Oval, Millwall, or Borough-area events. The cobbled courtyard fills with an irresistibly convivial mix of office workers, tourists, and sports fans, and the Greene King ales are served with the quiet confidence of an institution that has been doing this for centuries. Securing a table in the courtyard on a warm match day is one of London's great sporting-travel pleasures.
The Green Man Wembley
The Green Man sits almost in the shadow of Wembley Stadium's arch and has been a cornerstone of England matchday culture for decades, filling with Three Lions supporters, NFL London fans, and boxing crowds depending on what's happening inside the national stadium that weekend. The enormous outdoor terraces handle the crush of thousands of fans descending on Wembley Way, and the traditional pub interior is plastered with England and Wembley memorabilia. Arriving here two hours before kick-off and soaking up the crowd is as much of the Wembley experience as the match itself.
The Old Bank of England
The Old Bank of England on Fleet Street is one of London's most spectacular pub interiors — a converted Victorian bank with soaring gilded ceilings where City workers and visiting football fans share Fuller's London Pride in an atmosphere of magnificent grandeur. Its central location midway between Premier League stadiums makes it a natural gathering point for fans arriving into London on match weekends, and the traditional pie menu is the ideal pre-match fuel. The contrast between the opulent banking-hall setting and the universal language of football fandom is uniquely London.
The Tollington Arms
The Tollington Arms on Hornsey Road is the Arsenal supporter's pub of choice on Holloway Road, drawing generations of Gooners from across North London for pre-match pints before making the short walk to the Emirates Stadium. The walls are covered with Arsenal memorabilia, the beer garden buzzes with match-day energy from midday, and the mix of old-school local Gunners and traveling supporters from abroad makes for a genuinely communal football atmosphere. Book ahead for Champions League nights — the queue stretches down the street.
Fan Attractions in London
BOXPARK Shoreditch
BOXPARK Shoreditch — the world's first pop-up mall, built from repurposed shipping containers — is East London's go-to fan zone for Premier League, international rugby, and major tournament screenings. The outdoor terrace bars and street food vendors create a festival atmosphere for 2,000+ fans simultaneously, and the proximity to Hackney and Arsenal's Emirates Stadium makes it a natural match-day hub. During World Cups and Euros, BOXPARK's giant screen hosts some of London's best public viewing parties.
BOXPARK Wembley
BOXPARK Wembley is an enormous fan village of shipping-container bars and restaurants located on Wembley Way, serving as the official pre-match gathering hub for every event at Wembley Stadium — from FA Cup finals to NFL London games and major concerts. The venue hosts live DJs, giant screens showing warm-up coverage, and a rotating cast of street food vendors, creating a full festival atmosphere before the gates even open. For any first-time Wembley visitor, spending an hour at BOXPARK is the essential warm-up to the main event.

Lord's Cricket Ground Tour
Lord's in St John's Wood is the most famous cricket ground on earth, the home of Middlesex CCC and the MCC where every touring team wants to win a Test match and where the Long Room, the slope, and the famous Lord's roar make this a venue like no other in the sport. The official stadium tour includes access to the priceless MCC Museum, the Real Tennis court, the media centre, and the players' dressing rooms where centuries from Bradman to Root have been celebrated. Every cricketer and cricket fan should stand at Lord's at least once.

The world's busiest music arena sits beneath the spectacular dome on the Greenwich Peninsula, hosting more major concerts than any other venue on Earth and defining what a premium fan experience means in the streaming age. Its 20,000 capacity and exceptional production infrastructure have attracted residencies from artists including Prince, Led Zeppelin's reunion, and Adele's celebrated run that became a global phenomenon. The complex's restaurants, bars, and entertainment spaces make arriving two hours early for any show a pleasure rather than a chore.
Wembley Stadium
The home of English football and the world's most famous concert venue has hosted landmark performances from Live Aid to Taylor Swift's record-breaking Eras Tour, making it a pilgrimage site for fans of music and sport alike. The 90,000-seat national cathedral of popular culture creates moments that generations of fans carry as defining memories of their lives. Arriving at Wembley on a sold-out concert night, with the arch glowing above the approaching crowds, is one of the most exhilarating experiences a fan can have.
