There are any number of reasons for people from any walk of life with any interest to visit London, with a range of activities and sights to be seen. However, it is perhaps as a sporting fan that the city can be enjoyed more than any other.

With six Premier League clubs and a range of other popular sporting teams and venues around the city, it is ideal for fans of football, tennis, cricket, rugby and a range of other sports.

If this is something you are interested in and you want to see the most attractive sporting activities in London, have a look at the great properties on offer from London Short Let Solutions.

Venue tours

Aside from taking in a match at some of the top sporting venues in the capital, one of the best ways to get up close and personal with clubs and their respective sports is to take in some of the many stadium tours on offer.

Many Premier League clubs will offer you the chance to see their trophy rooms and museums before a match for a small charge, and it can be a great way to get an insight into the rich history of English football. Try visiting the Emirates Stadium (Arsenal) and Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge for a chance to see Premier League and Champions League trophies up close and personal.

Away from football, other great venues you might want to think about paying a visit to include Twickenham, the home of English rugby, where the World Cup has been on display since it was won in Australia in 2003.

And then of course there is Wimbledon – the home of tennis. Visiting here will allow you to see the famous tennis museum, as well as enjoying strawberries and cream, eating in the club itself and seeing the famed Centre Court in all its glory.

Top events in 2014

Of course, if you are a big sports fan, you will not be satisfied with just having a tour around some of the best venues in the country. You will want to see some action. So what are the biggest sporting events in the city in 2014?

April will be a busy month if you happen to be in London at the time, with two big attractions taking place in the space of a week. If you want to see one of the most iconic sporting moments in history, you might consider taking in the Boat Race on the banks of The Tideway, between Putney and Mortlake on April 6th to see crews from Oxford and Cambridge locking horns.

Later in the month, on April 11th, the Harlem Globetrotters, one of the most famous teams of all time, will pay a visit to London’s Wembley Arena to wow crowds with their inimitable skills.

Few sports have more importance in the UK than football, and if you want to see the sport at its very best, then May will be the time to get yourself to London. As well as the season coming to a close for a number of different clubs, which always brings excitement, you could have the chance to take in the oldest club competition on earth. Wembley will once again host the FA Cup Final on May 19th.

Finally, you may want to take in what has become something of a sporting tradition in London in recent years. The NFL will bring its annual International Series to Wembley later in the year, with three matches taking place on September 28th, October 26th and November 9th, featuring teams such as Oakland Raiders, Miami Dolphins, Atlanta Falcons and Dallas Cowboys.
