B

London for sports fans

London is such an interesting destination with lots of sports events that as a sports fan, there's no reason to get bored.

Here's my top selection.

Emirates Stadium

I'm not an Arsenal fan myself, but this is one of England's top football stadiums. Check out the murals outside, which celebrate some of the Gunners' most legendary players.

The Undercroft

This skatepark next to the River Thames has been the heart of Britain's skateboarding community for over forty years. It's so popular that you can see some of the most talented skaters and BMXers in the country there.

Wembley Stadium

This is the biggest stadium in the UK, and in my opinion, it's the best! You can see the famous arch from miles away; it's taller than the London Eye. The stadium has such a powerful sound system that the music can be heard clearly from every corner.

Wimbledon

Lots of top tennis stars have played on Wimbledon's Centre Court, including the Williams sisters, Federer and Nadal. It's the only Grand Slam tournament on grass, so Wimbledon has its own hawk, Rufus, to scare away the pigeons. The grass on Wimbledon's Center Court is maintained so carefully that it's often considered the best grass court in the world. While you're here, try the classic dish - strawberries and cream.
