00:00England are playing Spain in the final of the European Championships. After
00:05beating the Netherlands on Wednesday, the three Lions will compete in their
00:09first ever final on foreign soil. The road to Berlin has been tumultuous with
00:15players and coaches met with criticism, but Gareth Southgate has now become the
00:20only manager in history to reach two finals with England. For Londoners
00:26though, where is the best place to watch the final in the capital? Well, Bucks Park
00:31has become a fan favourite with locations in both Croydon and Shoreditch.
00:35Although they're sold out, people are still trying to get their hands on some
00:39tickets, but beware points could go flying if England manage to pull it off.
00:44London Mayor Sadiq Khan has announced England v Spain will be shown on a huge
00:4916-meter screen with fans invited to arrive at the O2 from 6pm to 8pm to
00:56enjoy a pre-match entertainment. Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said I am so proud
01:02of what this team have achieved in reaching another major final and he is
01:06delighted that we can now invite 15,000 England fans to the O2 on Sunday night
01:11for what he hopes will be a night of great drama and celebration. But where
01:17do locals in London want to go? Do they think staying at home is better? Have
01:22they got their hearts set on a wild night out or will they just be heading
01:26down to the local pub? Yeah, I mean I live down in South London Croydon
01:31near Bucks Park so I'm trying to get in there because there's always a good
01:34atmosphere in there. It's a bit wild, you know, pints flying around when England
01:38score and I can't beat the atmosphere watching it in London.
01:42The Southie Brewery in Penn. I mean actually it's been killer. I've
01:47been watching it at home. I've been away for like a decade so first time watching
01:50football back at home and it's been brilliant. So I don't know if it's the
01:54best place but I had a blast watching the quarter-finals there. I'll be with
01:59me family, I'll be with me boys, we'll be watching it as a family all together.
02:03I love when I see everyone jumping up and down in the pub and all that but
02:09whenever I do that I can never watch the game fully because I'm always talking but
02:13when you're in your own house you're watching everything. Very excited for it
02:17and I will be celebrating it in Greece in Crete with my son so we're looking
02:23forward to that very much yes and I watched all the other matches and we're
02:26very excited. Yeah I mean I think we're all hoping that we pull something through
02:30in the end. Semis I think all had us on edge but I've got a feeling the boys
02:35will pull through. I've been low-key all the way through this. We've been
02:39absolutely shocking all the way up until Wednesday. That was our first great half.
02:46Where that half come from I don't know. So there we have it England versus Spain
02:53on Sunday night. Come on guys it's coming home.
