England beat Sweden 4-0 in the semi-final on Tuesday, sending them through to the final on Sunday, at Wembley stadium, where they will face France or Germany.
The Women’s EURO 2022 tournament has been taking place across nine cities in England, from July 6 until July 31.
As London is one of the cities hosting the UEFA tournament matches, the city has set up a dedicated space for football fans to come together to celebrate.
Find out below how you can take part in the multi-day football fan experience.
