Nothing quite says British summer like an afternoon in a bar or beer garden, lapping up the sun while enjoying a Pimm's or your favourite pint. Adding another element to the heady mix is the men's Euros this summer.
Having come second to Italy in 2020, and with England's women's victory in 2022, it's all to play for - promising an exciting tournament from 14 June to 14 July.
Many of us will be looking for places where we can congregate with friends to watch the Three Lions so as part of HELLO!'s new summer hub, we come to you with recommendations of the best bars in London with the best vibes to watch the game from this summer.
