With only weeks remaining until the opening match, Germany vs Scotland on 14 June, it’s time to start planning where you’re going to camp out to catch the big games. Here are our tips for where to watch Euro 2024 to make sure you see the action surrounded by fellow enjoyers of the Three Lions.
Greenwich Fan Park
The closest to an official fanpark for the Euros in London are the huge spaces operated by For the Fans (4TF), where thousands will congregate under massive screens to cheer on the lads. There are spaces in Greenwich and Dalston and given the option we’d go for the former. Studio 338 describes itself as an “Ibiza-style mega-club” with a square footage you can only find on the outer reaches of the city centre.
Each match will have “special guests”, including Paul Robinson, Carlton Cole and – a leftfield choice given his questionable output since retiring – Matthew Le Tissier.
