Places to watch Germany

There are said to be over 40,000 Germans in London, with big enclaves in Richmond, around Hyde Park and Kensington. German football fans in London will feel right at home cheering on Die Mannschaft this summer, thanks to an array of bars that are veritable shrines to the German tradition of hearty beer drinking. Expect a huge turn out for the Germans' game against arch-rivals Holland on Wednesday 13th June – even for neutrals, this should be one of the games of the group stages. With Joachim Low's side in a veritable group of death, and with Bayern Munich losing the Champions League to Chelsea on penalties, it remains to be seen how the young German team can cope with the pressure.
