After Game-Enfield

by

After Game-Enfield is our look at what to do in the neighbouring Enfield, just a scoot from the game. Those of you attending the London games might be wondering, what’s going on once my game is finished at 6pm?
Well, we have some options for you in this post, as we look at things to do around Enfield.
Wait, where?

Location

A little north-west of the stadium sits the community of Enfield, an up and coming little nugget of party on the tip of London.

Conveniently located about 15 minutes from Tottenham stadium, the town of Enfield has a thriving nightlife and sports bars for anyone who is looking to head on the town after one of the Sunday contests.

Here are a few places to look at to watch the games afterwards.
And don’t worry, they are all VERY close to the stadium, even quicker in a taxi.

O’Neills Enfield

You can always trust an O’Neills to deliver standard quality across all of its locations.
The Enfield location is popular with youngsters in the area, and boasts loads of TV showing sport on Sundays.

The Cricketers

The Cricketers is another Enfield Sports bar that will have NFL showing on Sky Sports after the game.

Located near the centre of Enfield town, the Cricketers has a storied history in the area, and is beloved by locals for affordable pints, and a lovely garden to nip into for a smoke.

If you’re looking for NFL and cheap beers, this is a place to look at.

The Taps Bar

Another sports bar showing NFL on Sunday is The Taps Irish Bar in Enfield that is centrally located, and bound to have a fun, lively atmosphere.

Other areas

Other neighbourhoods close to Enfield and Tottenham Stadium in the area that you might want to consider are Winchmore Hill, Palmers Green, and Wood Green.

Finsbury Park is also a more lively area for night life, and some sports bars, as well as being conveniently located on the Victoria and Piccadilly Lines, making transit to the stadium quite easy by bus.

Always good to call ahead to some of these pubs too if you have a large group.
Given that it isn’t central London, many of these pub landlords will be happy to throw on the games for you in a prime spot.
It will also help them prepare for staff, if 200 of you decide to descend  on them for a night of NFL fun!

That’s it for our After Game-Enfield preview for you, hope you found it useful.

 

Where to Stay-Edmonton Green

by

Loads of NFL fans from around the world have asked us about the London games, as well as tips on making your trip to the capital the best NFL experience ever.

In this post we will look at Where to Stay-Edmonton Green, an area just north of the stadium and close action to get you to the games.

Edmonton Green

Ask most Londoners 10 years ago what they thought about ‘Edmonton’, they would have shaken their heads and asked ‘why do you want to go there?’

Like everything touched by gentrification, North London continues to bloom as the cost of living pushing people further north.
Things that use to be dodgy, are now ‘up and coming’, and you can count Edmonton Green as one of those areas.

The lower part of Edmonton is known as Upper Edmonton, while the northern part is referred to as Edmonton Green, not confusing at all.

The area in Enfield Council has seen a boom in recent years as big box stores, massive condos, and new bus routes dot the area.

Where to Stay

Edmonton Green has plenty of moderately priced hotels and motels suited for anyone looking to pop in to watch the games at Tottenham.
While you could stay in the area for the Wembley games, it will be dead as a doorknob, and you might want somewhere with a bit more flavour.

Some of the hotels you might want to look at in the area include:

Travelodge Edmonton

You know what to expect from a Travelodge, and this location near the main roads will suit you fine if you’re looking for a standard stay and close getaway.

Conveniently located, and with parking, this recently updated hotel is all you need if you’re looking for an affordable night in North London.

As of our checking, we found rates during the London games from £40 per night.

If you want to find out more, you can book here.

Premier Inn-Edmonton

From one big chain to another, the Premier Inn is another convenient location right near the heart of Edmonton Green, and a quick trip to White Hart Lane to catch the NFL games.

Unlike the Lodge, this one has it’s own bar and grill for those of you too lazy to venture out of the lobby.
Parking does look like it is charged at £12 a day, which is far less than London congestion charges.

Bog standard Premier Inn, but you can book it here.

https://www.premierinn.com/gb/en/hotels/england/greater-london/london/london-edmonton.html

Air B’nB’s

Given that this area of London is more residential, you will be spoilt for choice if you decide to book ahead and get an Air’B’n’B.

When we looked there were dozens of properties available for rent in the area, with some including full house rentals for those of you travelling with a group.

Where to Eat & Drink

Much like most of London, the city is a melting pot of various cultures, with nice smells coming from every corner.

With influences of Turkish, Greek, Albanian with traditional British fare, and a thriving high street, there is plenty of food to be found to fill you up before or after the game.

The Lamb-Edmonton

A traditional British boozer with loads of great pints on tap, as well as loads of TV for live sport.

If you want to grab a few pints before or after the game.

Chaudhrys Buffet

Get your food bag on with a trip to this big ass buffet in North London.
Perfect for filling you up before or after a heavy night, who says no to a buffet?

https://chaudhrysbuffet.co.uk/

The area is quite safe, with a thriving high street, and plenty of big shops in case you just want to pick up a few things and eat in your room.

Getting to the Stadium

It’s an easy-peasy 8 minute trip to the stadium on the London Overground, with less than a 2 mile trek to the Tottenham Stadium from Edmonton Green.

There are also several buses available if the train is too busy, but given that it’s coming from the north of London, chances are it will be pretty available.

If you’re looking for places to stay, or need information, feel free to reach out!

 

AFC West Peek

by

The preseason is finally done, as the boys take a look at the AFC West Peek in a hot new podcast.

The Chiefs look to rule the roost for yet another year, with their eyes on repeating as Super Bowl champs, but does anyone in this division look to stop them?
Wade and Ryan discuss it all in the latest podcast, if you want to have a listen, just click right here!

Among some of the other stuff that the guys discuss in this episode.

Trey Lanced

Talk about a butt-fumble, as the San Francisco 49ers traded away their ‘precious’ Trey Lance, in a deal that makes them look like total schmucks.
After tossing out first round drafts like candy to acquire Lance, they leveraged part of their future, and gave Miami plenty of weapons in whimpering trade with the Cowboys to put Lance out to pasture.
San Fran has been in the playoffs since acquiring Trey, yet he had zero impact on the team, nor on their wins.
The fact that they moved heaven and earth to acquire the 3rd ranked Lance, to then just dump him off to Jerry must sting the young man quite a bit.
All he has to do know is wait for Dak to go down.

Jacobing

Josh Jacobs finally gets paid, as the Las Vegas Raiders finally shifted some cash in the cushions to pay the man to a 1 year deal for close to $12 million.
As running backs around the league look for leverage in a age of RB-Hate, Josh is able to return to the Vegas fold, and put up some of the only yards that Jimmy G’s arm can’t reach.
Too bad the Raiders O-line is going to make it difficult for Jimmy and Josh.

Rodgers That

Aaron Rodgers did the impossible, and played in a preseason game this week for the first time in years.
Head coach Saleh wanted to get Aaron used to playing in his new home, and he quickly declared that the Jets are ‘ready to go.’
Too bad commercial directors didn’t get Rodgers to ‘warm up’ for some of the horrible commercials he’s been in, which is why he was probably cut from being the State Farm spokesman.
Want that Rodgers rate? Your screwed now cheesehead.

Jimmy G

Jimmy Graham was arrested a few weeks ago for appearing to be intoxicated in public, which later was determined to be a medical episode for the Saints TE.
Many fans were surprised to hear that Jimmy STILL plays for the Saints, after they brought the 36 year-old back to New Orleans for one last time.
Thankfully Jimmy has recovered, and the Saints must be happy with an ESPN prediction that gives them a 60%+ chance of making the playoffs this year.
Likely?

AFC West Peek

Wade and Ryan are also back with another prediction of an AFC Division, this time they turn their gaze to the West.
Mahomes and Reid have been a powerful tandem in the West, and with another Super Bowl ring on their fat fingers, it seems likely that they will once again look to dominate the division.
But what about the other teams that are looking to slug their way to the playoffs?
The Raiders are going to struggle this season, with the often-injured Jimmy G sure to only make 50% of the games this season.
Add to that problems on both sides of the line, and Vegas could find themselves ‘tanking for Caleb’ as the season wears on.
Russell Wilson will need some new recipes this season if he wants to feed hungry Broncos fans.
Sean Payton is going to have to turn this ship around, but can Russ even cook anymore, or has the hunger strike hit home?
The Chargers of LA are hoping that their recent signing of QB stud Justin Herbert will finally put them on track to start making repeat playoff appearances.
There’s a lot of age on that team, and it will be curious if Herbert can rally them for one last ride.

Promote Your NFL Nights

by

Are you a UK pub, bar or club who is looking to promote your NFL nights?
Then reach out, and we can help you promote your weekly NFL showings to millions of fans across the UK and Europe.

At NFL in London, we know that having a good place to watch the games with your friends is key, as well as some good food, and reasonably priced drinks.
That’s why we’re offering bars and pubs the opportunity to promote your NFL evenings across our social profiles.

Big Reach

With a weekly reach of over 25M across Europe, our NFL in London socials are the perfect place to target NFL fans in the UK, as well to showcase your American football offerings for the fans.

Facebook has 26k+ Likes, and 20k Followers on our main page, with another 2k on our Groups.
X (Twitter) brings in 3.5k followers, with another 1.5k on Instagram.
Add in the 10k per month in website traffic, 30k per month in podcast listeners, and you can hit a huge swath of NFL fans across Great Britain.

Events

To help get the word out, we can also promote your weekly NFL viewing parties through our website, and Facebook pages, so that fans can seamlessly book a table at your location with ease.

By hosting these regular Sunday events, you’re demonstrating fans that you are committed to showing the games all season, and they don’t have to worry about coming for the 6pm matches, and cricket is on.

We’re also looking to work with like-minded bars for the 2023 London NFL games, so make sure you get in touch!

Commitment

We do ask from the bars we work with that there is a commitment to showing these NFL nights, and that you’re not going to advertise it, and then there’s no games.
That pisses off NFL fans, and happens too often.

Some of the questions we will have for venues includes:

  • Are you showing the NFL all season, or is this just a whim to get in fans?
  • How many games are you showing? How many TVs? How late are you open?
  • Are there any special deals for NFL fans across food, drink, seating etc?
  • Do you have DAZN, or are you showing just Sky games?

We want to help you deliver the best fan experience for NFL viewing, so let us help you finesse your NFL nights to make them more authentic.

Packaging

As much as we appreciate the massive pub chains asking for us to ‘help spread the word’, you’re making money off of this, so don’t expect free advertising.

You get what you pay for, and we’re happy to create bespoke packages for any bar or pub to help you pack your place with NFL fans, with prices starting from £5 per week.

Bigger packages can include more marquee level weekly promotions, appearances and ads on our podcasts, as well as dedicated spaces on our website to promote your location.

Subscribing bars will also be added to our weekly calendar, so that fans can directly access your venue and book themselves in.

We also have options to help promote the London NFL games, Thanksgiving, playoffs and the Super Bowl, as well as live podcast recordings with NFL celebrities live from your pub.

NFL in London frequently works with UK betting companies who like to do ‘pub takeovers’, and as such can your location get massive exposure and highly elevated NFL viewing events.

Get in Touch

So what are you waiting for?

If your bar or pub wants to promote your NFL nights, get in touch and we can work out a reasonable package to help get football bums in seats every week.

Are you committed to a great 2023 season?
We are!
