The London Fiver – Five of the Best Sports Bars

May 9, 2019 By John Rabon

One could certainly argue that every pub in the UK is a sports bar, since it’s naturally where everyone gathers to watch a match.  Certain pubs, of course, are bound to have their favored teams’ colors adorning the walls and cheering supporters on game day.  However, some places go above this to mark themselves as true sports bars, a place seemingly designed only to watch the … [Read more...] about The London Fiver – Five of the Best Sports Bars

Great London Buildings – The Courts of Wimbledon

A Different Kind of Football – The NFL and London

Dec 3, 2014 By John Rabon

In a city dominated by the Spurs, Arsenal, Fulham, Chelsea, and others, it seems odd that American football would ever find a fan base in London other than American ex-pats. The NFL attempted to host several pre-season games sponsored in other countries as the league’s way of promoting the sport abroad. The NFL also had its European league, which never really took off and … [Read more...] about A Different Kind of Football – The NFL and London
