How to Avoid the World Cup
Oh joy (says the rugby fan), until 13th July, we will be bombarded with football-related advertising, merchandise and television programmes as the 2014 FIFA World Cup gets into full swing in Brazil. That’s all well and good if you like the so-called beautiful game, but what if it all leaves you cold?
Luckily, London has plenty to offer, no matter what your opinion of football, the World Cup or any other type of sport. If you would like a really special weekend or day out planned for you, just get in touch.
In the meantime, here are some alternatives to watching the footy.
19th June – England Vs Uruguay
Our alternative – Taste of London
If food is your choice, get yourself along to Regent’s Park and involved in the Taste of London festival. Tickets are available online now for the weekend of tastings, workshops, master classes, talks and more. Highlights of the 19th include top chefs, such as Neil Rankin and Mike Denman, cooking in the outdoor rustic kitchen garden, secrets of the chefs from Elephant and Duck & Waffle and live demonstrations. Why not treat yourself to some VIP tickets?
24th June – England Vs Costa Rica
Our alternative – Greenwich & Docklands International Festival
Ignore the final group game and head to the Greenwich & Docklands International Festival instead. The festival runs from 20th-28th June and is well worth a visit any day but, for the purposes of avoiding the World Cup, the 24th is the day to go. The schedule for the day includes Bench at Canary Wharf and Legend of Hamba and Kadoga at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. All events are free, so you can just decide what you feel like seeing on the day. Bear in mind that each event has limited capacity, so be early if you really want to see it.
Don’t forget to look at our June events blog for more suggestions on how to keep yourself busy on these dates and check back for more events once the following rounds are announced.
