America has given us some great things over the years, with Star Wars, McDonalds, Prince, Beer Pong, Will Smith, Coca Cola and even anti-perspirant deodorant coming from our transatlantic friends. So ladies and gents it’s time to don your stars and stripes, get in the spirit and celebrate all things American for Independence Day. And if you can’t make it across the pond to the US of A, fear not cos London town does a pretty good job of celebrating too. Just check out our top picks for 4th of July…
