‘Do not come to London for the game if you don’t have tickets, or a pub or fan zone booked’ the Met has urged ahead of England’s Euros semi-final vs Denmark tonight.
The Three Lions take on the Danes tonight at 8pm hoping to book their place in the Wembley final vs Italy on Sunday.
With Covid cases surging across the capital, the Met Police has warned people to stay away from the capital if they don’t have a viewing booked.
Deputy Assistant Commissioner Laurence Taylor, said: “London still remains in a public health crisis. There are government guidelines in place and we ask people to follow these and remain socially distanced. My message is clear: If you don’t have ticket to the matches, fan zone or officially booked into a pub, bar or club, please do not come to London – you could end up missing the game.
“The Met is very well prepared for the increase in fans. We have a very experienced policing team in place and will continue to prevent crime and disorder and respond effectively to any incidents. We have deployed a great many officers and specialist units.
“We want people to be able to enjoy the Euros 2020 safely and securely.”
