It’s a little-admitted fact that most non-Yanks secretly want to be Yanks. But guys, it’s time to come out of the closet. Especially if you’re in London: the Obamas have been assiduous in their visits to us, the rising pound is bringing back our love for America, and the 4th of July is nearly here.

But if you have neither time, money, nor inclination to head Stateside for the celebrations, you could head for Mayfair instead, where the usually-genteel Stafford is shedding its stiff upper lip and going American for the day.

Mainly foodwise, though: they’ll be laying on an all day Independence Day menu with burgers, hot dogs, cheesecake and BBQ chicken. And it’s not only nosh; the appropriately named American Bar will be shaking up such concoctions as Patriotinis and Fourth of July Fizzes. Who cares about the lack of fireworks? Just make sure you’re wearing your jackets, guys – it’s still England, after all.

Re: Can't Get Stateside For Independence Day?...

Independence Day honors the birthday of the United States of America and the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. It's a day of picnics and patriotic parades, a night of concerts and fireworks, and a reason to fly the American flag. On July 4th, 1776, a great nation was born declaring its independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. 232 years on, it is now known as the United States of America, a federal republic that has emerged a superpower and a leading nation setting a standard for all countries to follow. The cherished 4th July, the American Independence Day is nearing us once again. It's time for us all Americans to celebrate the spirit of liberty, equality, fraternity and pride that each one of us feel ourselves enthused with when it comes to basking in the glory of this great nation. Independence Day is more than a chance for family and friends throughout the country to gather for barbecues and fireworks displays, it is an annual celebration to commemorate the courage and faith of our founding fathers in their pursuit of liberty. So take all your cash advance out and be happy to celebrate this occasion.
