Events in London – Tuesday 30 July

Need some inspiration for 30th July? England won the World Cup on this day in 1966, with a Geoff Hurst hat-trick helping to defeat West Germany 4-2. So why not take a tour of Wembley Stadium? Unfortunately you can’t see the original white towers anymore because they rebuilt the stadium in 2007.
