1 BOXPARK, Wembley, Croydon and Shoreditch
BOXPARK loves a final. In addition to the Line of Duty final on May 2 and the Europa League final on May 26, the three London venues will host the Champions League final on Saturday, May 29. Large HD screens, over 30 street food options at each venue, and plenty of outdoor seating, this is an ideal choice for all summer sports.

2 Brigadiers, the City
For a rather decadent Champions League final experience, you can create your own private screening event in one of the Brigadiers’ three private rooms (email [email protected]), or clap with the masses and in Blighters or on the terrace bar where there are outdoor screens. Order from the à la carte menu or treat yourself to a beast feast.

This fantastic pub between Clapham North and Brixton has a huge beer garden with an outdoor TV, making it the perfect place to watch the UEFA Champions League final. You can reserve for indoors (up to six) or garden (up to 20) and White Men Can’t Jerk will be there to serve up some great jerk chicken.
