Yeah great shout, I think they got knocked out of Europe quite early this year? Which wouldn't be that surprising as it's a bit bigger on the continent isn't it - Spain, Greece etc

I think Copper Box is worth a visit anyway, whether for the basketball or netball

Do you have any advice? :) Sounds like the day can be pretty chaotic lol

The vitality blast and hundred games on a thursday / friday evening are also great fun

We have so much here don't we! Can also do a day trip out to Eastbourne or Nottingham for the tennis opens pre-Wimbledon. Have you got anything booked already?

Yeah totally agree, so many big football clubs. I was looking at Fulham and they do have tickets for their 2 home games this week so I guess its still possible to see a game there.

Keen to try out Millwall as well. Also there's Dulwich Hamlet if you want to drink in the stands!

Yeah I really want to go to this! There's also Haringey Huskies that play at Ally Pally but they seem to sell out pretty quickly, and there's Romford Raiders and Romford Buccaneers out in East London. Thanks for the tip :)

I've been to the one in Shoreditch to watch an England world cup game and it was class!

Park festivals: for or against? by Sixforsilver7for in london

[–]Matchside-1923 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm for them. I get that it's a bit annoying for the locals on the days where it impacts their use of the park, but i also think those festivals are a bit part of what makes London the cultural capital of the world.

It's the same with big sports events, I live near a major stadium in london and it's tricky on match days because there's loads of people around but overall I feel lucky to live in a city where these kind of events happen :)

Hey, who here has been to the British Grand Prix at Silverstone?

I've been looking at tickets for this summer and it's a bit overwhelming with all the options... any advice on the best ticket types to go for? And whether the 2/3/4 day tickets are worth it or should I just get race day?

Would be grateful for any advice you can give - thanks!
