Football pitch

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 charming three bedroom terrace home is available to view in Walthamstow right now.

A Scotland defender from a peaceful town

Anthony Ralston, Scotland defender, was born in the North Lanarkshire town of Bellshill.

Bellshill is a charming town nestled just a 20 minute drive from Glasgow city centre, and is known for its strong community.

A former coal and steel town, Bellshill offers the convenience of city living while enjoying the luxuries of being in a suburban location.

It has brilliant access to local cities and towns, with major motorways nearby and a variety of public transport available.

This well appointed two bedroom apartment is currently available, just a 10 minute drive from Bellshill.

Regardless of who you're supporting at the Euros this year, we hope you can enjoy the thrill of the game - rain or shine.
