The last quarterfinal games in the 2026 FIFA World Cup are here. England-Norway kicks things off in Miami before Argentina-Switzerland caps the day’s action in Kansas City. One of the best things to come out of the World Cup has been the atmosphere these fans have provided at each city they’ve visited. We saw the amazing vibes out of Mexico City last week when England fans visited. Before the game, England fans partied and went toe-to-toe with Mexicans at bars everywhere. I know because I was there at The Dog House Pub.
After England beat Mexico in a classic Round of 16 game, fans flooded the streets and partied. We celebrated with England fans until the wee hours of the morning. If you have a serious case of FOMO, you need not worry. You can still catch good vibes and feel like a lad watching England-Norway at The London, A Luxury Collection Hotel, in New York City.
The British-inspired destination will be jumping for the World Cup, as well as Wimbledon, which is now winding down. The London is located at 151 West 54th Street in the heart of Midtown, just steps from Central Park, Carnegie Hall, and Broadway. Pull up a seat and enjoy the game with good food at The London’s restaurant, Dabble, on Saturday, July 11.
For tennis fans, Dabble is featuring a Pimm’s Cup, alongside British-inspired bites, including strawberry and cream pancakes, assorted tea sandwiches, chilled English pea soups, and more.
A hotel with flair
The London features 562 all-suite accommodations, meaning that they’re among the largest guest rooms in Midtown thanks to every suite having a separate living room. Guests can enjoy sweeping views of Central Park and Manhattan’s iconic skyline.
It was just last month when The London, 54 stories above Manhattan, got its rebrand and became part of The Luxury Collection.
“The introduction of The London, a Luxury Collection Hotel, New York City marks an exciting next chapter for the property, further strengthening our presence in one of the world’s most culturally dynamic destinations,” said Bruce Rohr, Vice President and Global Brand Leader, The Luxury Collection. “New York City has long been defined by its creative energy, its culinary and artistic depth, and its enduring influence on global culture. With this hotel, we are proud to build upon our presence in the city through a property that reflects both its international spirit and its distinctly local character.”
As part of the rebrand, The London features the London hour, “an unhurried pause between the working day and the evening ahead – the hotel introduces its signature Daily Epicurean Moment, a ritual that invites guests to gather and linger. Artisanal cheeses from Murray’s Cheese, a New York institution, are paired with wines from regional vintners and served as a considered expression of place rather than a passing amenity.”
