Where To Watch The Superbowl In London

Tomorrow night will be the NFL Super Bowl XLIX and even though it may be an American event, here in London there are definitely some celebrations happening across the city, with plenty bars and restaurants holding special nights for the occasion. The teams battling it out are the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks. Now I know nothing about American Football but I do like picking a team for the Superbowl and of course staying up to see the act. This year it’s Katy Perry joined by Lenny Kravitz and a surprise guest! Katy always puts on an amazing show so I can’t wait to see it!
