This summer, the world’s game is coming to the Café patio.
London Bicycle Café will be showing Canada and Netherlands matches during the Big International Soccer Thing on the patio, weather permitting.
You may know this tournament by another, more official name. We are not using that name here because somewhere, in a very serious office, a very serious trademark lawyer may be watching. So, for our purposes, it is simply the Big International Soccer Thing. You get it. We get it. Please do not make us talk to the lawyers.
Whether you’re cheering for the red and white, pulling for the Oranje, or just love the rare joy of watching soccer outside with a great coffee, cold drink, and good company, we’d love to have you join us.
There’s something special about tournament soccer. The early nerves. The national pride. The shared groans. The sudden cheers. The person at the next table who suddenly becomes your best friend because you both saw the same missed call.
Our patio has always been a gathering place, and this feels like the perfect excuse to turn a few June afternoons into a little downtown soccer party.

Come Watch on the Patio
We’ll keep things relaxed and casual. Come early, grab a seat, order something tasty, and settle in for the match.
The plan is to show these games on the patio when the weather cooperates. If the forecast is rough, we’ll post updates through our usual channels so you know what to expect before heading downtown.
Bring a friend, wear your colours, and make an afternoon of it.
Whether you’re here for Canada, the Netherlands, the drama, the snacks, or the joy of pretending you understand every tactical decision, you’re welcome on the patio.
See you at the Café for the Big International Soccer Thing.
