Celebrating the kick-off to the Euros

The Euros 2024 is finally here and we're excited to see Europe come together to compete for the glory of raising the UEFA Euros trophy.

This year's tournament is hosted in Germany, marking the first fully post-Covid Euros. Whether you're cheering on from the stands, your local pub, or your living room, you can feel the energy in the air.

We're looking at the home towns of two iconic footballers to celebrate the Euros.

England captain calls Walthamstow home

Harry Kane, prolific striker and captain of the England team, grew up in Walthamstow, a town in the north-east of London.

Walthamstow has a rich history dating back to the 12th century. The area was developed in the 1800s thanks to the expansion of the London railway system and then re-developed following damage sustained during the Second World War.

Walthamstow is home to the longest open-air market in Europe - the Walthamstow Market. With a wide range of restaurants, you can enjoy a bite to eat after you're done thrifting.

It's a popular area for commuters due to its excellent transport links, with the Victoria Line making getting into the Centre of London a breeze.

This three bedroom end terrace home perfectly blends modern living with Victorian elegance.
