Website to showcase London's 'world-class' sporting events

The typical stag do might focus largely on late-night partying and booze-fuelled antics, but daytime activities can be just as important for some prospective grooms.

Sports fanatics planning a stag weekend in London in the future might therefore welcome the launch of a campaign to promote the capital's sporting events and world-class facilities.

Visit London has unveiled a new sports section to its website, which will detail all the latest information on major sports activities including the upcoming Barclays ATP World Tour Final and the ICC World Twenty20 England 2009.

Commenting on the launch, interim chief executive officer of Visit London Sally Chatterjee said the website will help showcase the city's top facilities and draw attention to its world-class events.

A trip to the cricket or a day out at Wimbledon could provide the perfect precursor to a heavy night of celebrations for those planning a stag do in the capital this year.

Indeed, London could be well suited to stag parties out to have a good time, with several of the city's bar's voted among the most stylish in the world in the recent High Life Global Gourmet Awards.
