Scotland fans without a ticket to their team's Euro 2020 match with England have been warned not to travel to London by mayor Sadiq Khan.
There will be nowhere for large groups to gather in the capital for the match at 8pm on Friday June 18, with the traditional Trafalgar Square meeting place being used as a socially-distanced fan zone for key workers.
About 2,600 tickets have been allocated for Scotland supporters in Wembley, with pubs and bars also expected to limit the number of football fans allowed in during the European Championship, which was delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Mr Khan has joined the Scottish Government and Scottish Football Association (SFA) to ask fans not to travel to the city unless they have a ticket, or a safe place to watch the match.
He said: "I am so excited for Uefa Euro 2020 and one of the games that I am looking forward to the most is England's match with Scotland at Wembley.
"I have some amazing memories of England v Scotland games in the past and I love the atmosphere that Scottish fans always bring to major football tournaments.
"However, I am today urging all fans to only come to London if you have a ticket for the match or if you have arranged a safe place to watch it from, in compliance with Covid-19 guidelines."
He added: "I want to be completely clear that Scottish fans will not be able to access their traditional Trafalgar Square base, as it will be used as a socially-distanced fan zone for key workers who are helping our city through the pandemic.
"Due to Covid regulations there are no alternative sites for fans to gather in large numbers in central London.
"We have all been through so much over the last 15 months, and while I know everyone wants to have a great time during the Euros, it is vital that we make sure the competition is safe and takes place in an environment that we can all enjoy.
