Dozens of Americans living in London have converged on Passyunk Avenue, an American-themed bar, to watch the election alongside friends from home.

The bar’s general manager, Tim Mullin, moved to the UK three years ago and said it was his first time hosting an election party. He said he was expecting over 200 people at the event, which was scheduled to continue well into the next morning.

Damon, a Harris supporter from San Francisco who declined to provide his last name, said he was at the event because “elections are important to us. Democracy is a huge thing for us so there’s a lot of pride today.”

“Whatever happens in the States usually affects what happens in the world, so we’re on pins and needles tonight,” he told CNN.

Another man, who went by the nickname Stub, said he was at the event for the atmosphere and was “interested to see the reaction from a diverse group of people here in the bar.”

“I don’t think it’s all Americans coming to watch the election coverage tonight so it’s kind of interesting to see the vibe and how things are going to go,” he said.

Others visited the bar to be a part of the American community abroad as the vote count got underway.
