After a nail-biting match against Sweden, England are through to the Women’s Euro’s semi-finals. If you’re not travelling to Switzerland for their match against Italy on Tuesday July 22, there are plenty of spots hosting screenings, fan zones and parties across the city. Here are our favourite places to celebrate the beautiful game, catch all the action and cheer on the Lionesses. Will it be coming home again? Keep your fingers crossed!
After weeks of sweltering heat, London is back to its drizzly best at the beginning of this week, with heavy showers and maybe even a few thunderstorms on the horizon. And while we wouldn’t go quite so far as to say the downpours are welcome, it is nice to have a break from the sunburn and sleepless nights.
Fortunately, the skies should be clear once more ahead of the weekend’s festivities, which include London’s Trans+ Pride, dance music festival Junction 2 and family-friendly day festival Uptown.
In the meantime, catch up on some of the summer’s major exhibitions, from the Royal Academy’s annual summer show and the Tate Modern’s major retrospective on aboriginal artist Emily Kame Kngwarreye, to Design Museum’s More Than Human and Virtual Beauty, which opens at Somerset House this week. Us Londoners have never let a bit of rain ruin our plans!
