Outdoor screens for Euro 2012 games in London?

I assume there will be no public screening arranged by the city/Boris in the group stage (since not even Eng vs Ger in 2010 was enough).

I try to avoid the hassle and money of buying tickets to tight-up private screenings (like in cinemas and such). And want to see more of the street sceneries than crowding inside a bar.

So: suggestions on bars/other places with screens facing the street (or, even better, a park)? Any area/street (like a pedestrian one) where there are many outdoor screens?

I'm asking about screenings of Euro 2012 games - football from Poland/Ukraine in June - not the Olympics.

Doh - shoulda gone to.... You know where.... Sorry.
Hopeless for me - that 1.
I wouldn't even know when it starts - or who's playing.

Hey Dan,

I remember they didn't seem to have any for the last WC in 2010 unless I somehow missed them in the City.

Pubs are your best bet - and I think some Cinemas were showing them on big screens too for the WC.

Some of the big cities might show them in big parks, but I think since the Rangers fans went on a rampage in Manchester the other year for the Europa Cup Final some of these might have been discontinued. In Leeds they might be showing them in Millenium Square though, for example, as they have put some temporary bars and get security in before...

People will lose interest after En-ger-land have lost their first two games, bars won't be crowded at all.
