Where to watch England semi final against Netherlands in London
Somehow, by hook, crook and lots of luck, England have reached another semi final, with the their toughest test yet expected against a mercurial Netherlands side. It’s bound to be a nailbiting, agonising match so make sure you have plenty of moral support by visiting one of these top bars showing the sport. If you’re looking for where to watch the England semi final in London, we have you covered.
Flat Iron Square
The newly reopened Flat Iron Square is a great space to watch big sports events, with food far above your usual pie and chips and a huge screen to gather beneath. Located just south of London Bridge, it’s a brilliant central location for fans meeting up from across the city. It’s free to book tables but it’s worth doing so nice and early to avoid disappointment. A great spot to watch the England semi final.
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.
