World Cup In A Small Room

on 02 July 2010 by Jocelyn Bain Hogg
Throughout the 2010 World Cup every bar around the globe has been filled as people gather to watch their nations compete. The gamut of human emotion can be seen on every face as they watch from their bar stools.

London is arguably the most multicultural city in the world, with Notting Hill's Portobello Road the epicentre. Its throbbing heart is The Duke Of Wellington Public House.

French, Italian, Polish, Brazilian, Jamaican, Australian, Spanish, Samoan, Russian, American, German, New Zealand, Irish and English faces all react in this bar as the goals are scored . or not scored.

This set of close up, live action portraits documents these reactions from below the TV as the World Cup games are shown in the small back room of this emotionally charged pub.
