LONDON, June 9 (Xinhua) -- London's Tower Bridge is to be transformed into a gigantic outdoor art gallery to celebrate the European Football Championship, the city's mayor Sadiq Khan announced Wednesday.
London will host eight matches during the tournament, including both semifinals and the final.
As well as the iconic bridge across the River Thames, four other across the British capital will be pasted with more than 3,000 black and white portrait photographs in celebration of the competition.
The art project by French artist JR will cover pavement, roads and buildings across London with his epic black and white portraits. The gallery across Tower Bridge will be longer than two football pitches.
