London is a great city to visit throughout the year, but when the sunshine and the summer heat has started to fade it can seem a little dreary! Luckily, the capital city is home to so many great sporting events that there is something to suit everybody’s taste. There is so much variety on offer that there’s probably something going on right now near your student residence! London is definitely the place to be for sporting fanatics, any time of year. While some sports take a break in the summer, many others are just beginning. Sport is such an important part of local life in England, so you’re sure to fit right in once you get involved. Rugby There are three main Rugby teams in the city, and all games will be easily accessible no matter the location of your student residence. London is a great sporting city and it’s no surprise that the national team play their games at the impressive Twickenham stadium. If you can’t catch a game here, then a stadium tour is highly recommended. The other teams that the capital is home to are the Saracens and the Harlequins, both of which will be sure to offer a thrilling game and a fantastic atmosphere. Football Football (or soccer as it is called in some parts of the world) is a British sporting tradition like no other. With some of the world’s best football on offer in the English Premier League and the Champions League there is no shortage of exciting action to watch. It’s the fierce rivalries of local clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea and West Ham that make the football season so exciting to watch. If you’re not sure who to support, why not ask around your student residence? London’s top teams are only half the fun – there are plenty of others that will be playing in the Championship every week! Tennis Think tennis in London and you think of Wimbledon, the world-famous tennis tournament that draws the brightest and best stars every year. Although you might think that there’s no tennis to watch when you arrive in the autumn, there is! The O2 hosts the Nitto ATP Finals which are described as the ‘ultimate tennis show’ and gets some of the biggest names in the sport taking part. Good to Know: It’s much easier to get a ticket for the Nitto ATP Finals than for Wimbledon – and there’s no chance of the rain spoiling the fun! With so much sport on this autumn and winter, it’s probably going to be hard to fit it all in! If you can’t get a ticket for the events themselves there are fan groups that meet in the city’s pubs, and you can always watch at home in your student residence. London has some of the best sporting action in the world and it is right on your doorstep!
