The roar of the British & Irish Lions returns this summer, and SPORT London venues are pulling out all the stops to make it unforgettable. Whether you’re a seasoned rugby fanatic or just love a lively matchday vibe, here are five reasons why watching the Lions Tour 2025 at SPORT London should be top of your to-do list.

1. Kick Things Off with a Legend – Neil Back at Greenwood

The Tour gets underway in style at Greenwood in Victoria on Friday 20th June, when England and Lions legend Neil Back joins fans for an exclusive pre-match Q&A.

Brunch plans? Sorted. SPORT London venues will be fuelling fans with hearty weekend brunches, including bacon butties, breakfast burritos, and the mighty Lions Breakfast Burger.
