Best places in London to watch Super Bowl LII

Where to watch America's biggest game on Sun 4 Feb in the capital

The 52nd edition of the Super Bowl will be hitting our screens imminently, bringing with it the usual buzz that surrounds America's biggest sporting event. This year's game will be played at the US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, which is home to the Divisional Championship bound Minnesota Vikings, with Justin Timberlake headlining the all-important halftime show, having last appeared (and caused a national controversy) in 2004 with Janet Jackson.

Whether you're into sports or not, the Super Bowl always guarantees a fun night out and luckily, there are plenty of bars across London that will be screening the game. So put on your best football jersey, ready your stomach for some of America's finest junk food and enjoy a night of drama as two teams battle it out for the coveted Vince Lombardi Trophy.

Roadtrip, Old Street
