"There is nothing as humbling as watching actual Olympians channel years of practice and dedication into their sport. Except maybe witnessing your mate do four consecutive shots and then not getting a professional cleaning fee from that light night Uber. Both are very, very impressive. To get involved in the former, hit up The Spark at The International Quarter London in Stratford. They’re showing the Tokyo Games on a big screen on Friday and Sunday, complete with deck chairs. Once you’ve watched enough of the games to feel like your achy knees hurt by association, head for a bev or some nibbles at a local Stratford rooftop. Looking for big, boozy, and affordable? Opt for sourdough pizzas and chilled pints at Roof East. Feeling fancy? Slick seventh-floor spot Allegra is your guy." - heidi lauth beasley
