Make sure you find a nice accommodation in London to have recharge sleeping sessions ready for your days of activity. There are some great hotel deals to be found on gift-tours.com. With this sorted, you can begin your quest for sporting excellence.

London boasts for example some great attractions for football fans, in terms of architecture and when it comes to fabulous games: Arsenal’s new Emirates stadium near Highbury is a site to behold: large sweeping oval rims, bright red seats as far as the eye can see. If you are a Gunners fan, take a guided tour through their new home: and if you are lucky enough, try to get hold of a ticket for a game.

If you are more into the Blue you can also make a journey down to London borough of Chelsea and Kensington, wander along the Kings Road and Fulham Road, sampling the designer shops and up-market bars, before heading into Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge ground. If you prefer cricket just grab a pint of beer or a glass of Pimms and enjoy the game slowly: or have a go in one of the practice nets behind the stadium if you feel like emulating England’s heroes.

Every month brings a different sporting event to the city. In April, the famous Oxbridge boat race takes place as well as the huge, city-wide London marathon. When the summer starts coming around, nothing beats a day at the famous All England Club, where the Wimbledon Tennis Championships are held every June and July. For Wimbledon fortnight, SW19 truly comes alive. If you want to emjoy all that but don't have lots of money to spend just get a ground pass, grab a picnic before you go in and enjoy it on Murray Mount (formerly Henman Hill...). No matter what kind of sports is your favourite, you can be sure to find your adrenaline pumping in London.
