Subterranean Waterloo venue The Vaults is embracing the 2014 World Cup with a giant, Carnival-flavoured bear hug. As well as showing all the matches on giant screens, every night of the group stages will be accompanied by a party themed around one of the competing countries, featuring music, food, drink and other entertainment, all aiming to give an authentic flavour of the tournament's many nations.
Some of the highlights include Brazilian samba dancers and drummers (June 12), a Colombian band playing traditional cumbia folk music (June 14), a German oompah band (June 16) and a dance class on Ghanaian Azonto dancing (June 21).
There are also ping pong and fussball tables in the venue if you fancy getting sporty yourself, without breaking a sweat.
