As part of the Euro 2020 festivities, each host city spread across the continent hosts its own “Spectacular” in an iconic location with the intention of creating a unique moment for fans, residents and the media throughout the tournament.
In London, which hosts more Euro 2020 games than any other city – including both the semi-finals and the final, Spectacular takes the form of an art project by French street photographer JR called Inside Out.
More than 3,000 black and white portraits of Londoners pave the streets of the capital. Especially on Tower Bridge, the unique gallery of photographs will be longer than two football pitches across the Thames in the heart of London.
For JR, London is the latest addition to the Inside Out project, which has taken pictures of 400,000 people in 138 countries around the world over the past decade.

London’s football village Potters Field Park is right next to Tower Bridge, which is open daily to fans and free to enter. The village shows live matches, excluding England games and the final, with music, food, drinks and live performances that increase the entertainment.
London also has a fan zone at the famous Trafalgar Square. Admission is free, as in the football village, although fans will need a pre-booked ticket available via public vote. The fan zone is open for all England matches, as well as semi-finals and finals, and voting will reopen for the quarter-final stage if England advance to Germany in the 16-year-olds.
