London: The English love their cricket and beer. Maybe beer comes first and then cricket. Of course, when there is no football. There were thousands of fans enjoying World Cup final on the large TV screen in the Fan Zone at Trafalgar Square while the real battle was on at Lord's just a few miles away.

As is the tradition, those who did not get tickets preferred to enjoy the game at a public gathering rather than in their drawing rooms. The ambience was similar to the famous Henman Hill at Wimbledon where the fans gather to watch the tennis which is being played only a few metres away.
