From Soho Square to Westfield Shopping Centre, Tate Britain to the British Library, St Pancras International to Heathrow’s Terminal 3, the tables are up for four weeks for everyone to enjoy and Arriva London have entered a team into the tournament to be held at Victoria Embankment gardens on August 14.
