Sequins ready? These are the capital’s most gloriously over-the-top places to watch Eurovision this May.
Whether you’re in it for the key changes, the chaos or the inevitable voting drama, the Eurovision Song Contest is back for 2026 — and London is going all out.
This year, there’s even more reason to get invested: the UK is being represented by Look Mum No Computer, performing the gloriously titled Eins, Zwei, Drei at the 70th contest in Vienna. He’s already shaping up to be one of the most talked-about acts — so expect crowds across the capital ready to cheer him all the way to douze points.
Across London, bars, rooftops and karaoke dens are transforming into glitter-drenched fan zones, complete with big screens, themed cocktails and plenty of chances to belt out your favourite anthems. From full-scale parties to more low-key screenings, here’s where to soak up every moment.
