There has been a big screen in Woolwich apparently which is a bit of an odd location but hey; there doesn't seem to have been anywhere central though there may be now it's the knockouts.

Adam, I'm searching the Web for the same type of location...we have a 7 year old who loves football but we're finding it difficult to find many outdoor locations that are actually showing the match in London.

Go to The Coronet Theatre, close to Elephant & Castle tube stn, they create a event for each Brazilian match, it's call VAI VAI BRASIL the proposal is: giant screens, life band, carnival dancers, confetti, DJs and mega sound creating a experience and real atmosphere, feel the real vibration of brazilian supporters - 100% Brazilian.

Where can I watch the England V Algeria game with my 10 year old son. We are in London that weekend, and would rather be out somewhere to see it than stuck in the hotel room.

That what I want to know Adam but I can't find anything. There was supposed to be a Fifa Fan Park in London but nothing has come of it. Maybe it's been decided against because, if any trouble kicks off, it could cost us the 2018 bid.

Are there any outdoor screenings of the World Cup 2010? Maybe, Hyde Park, Victoria Park, St James Park? Somewhere like that?
