HACKNEY BRIDGE, HACKNEY WICK For east London football fans, Hackney Wick’s newest outdoor venue Hackney Bridge will be showing all games of the FIFA Women’s World Cup on its massive screen in the landscaped garden overlooking the canal.

THE PRINCE, EARL’S COURT Neighbourhood pub in Earl’s Court The Prince has an epic outdoor terrace perfect for watching the footy – and it will be screening the semi-final and final when the Lionesses make it through. Alongside the usual selection of draft beer and wine, guests can splash out on cocktails such as a spicy chilli mango margarita and non-alcoholic tipples including a light and refreshing strawberry cooler. Half-time nibbles include plates from an all-day menu alongside two street-food favourites – Le Bab and Crust Bros.
