Just on my way back from London (with my train leaving 45 minutes delayed).
Yesterday was mad. We were looking around Emirates for a pub a bit after 11 am but the lines were already insane and some had dome pre-bookings. We eventually gave up and ordered an Uber back to Angel to find a pub there instead, but after driving just a few hundred meters we saw a pub that hadn't shown up when we looked on Maps called Alwyne Castle. Had a big outdoor area and no line but stacked with Arsenal supporters so we just asked the driver to stop and let us out. At some point the line for a beer was almost an hour, people started going to a grocery store on the other side of the road and brought their own beer. 😆
The downside was the relative lack of outdoor screens, so didn't see that much of the match. For the last 15 minutes we went inside so we could see them closing out the match and the ceremony. Everybody went crazy when Ødegaard lifted the trophy, 100 % the best moment of my time as an Arsenal supporter.
Went to Emirates after and thought maybe it wouldn't be as big a deal as on Tuesday after all since we didn't see many people at first, but obviously it filled up fast.
Today I was just being touristy and walked around Hyde Park etc. London really is a beautiful city (when the weather is good).
