- I'm Joe Jonas.
Over the years, I've toured the world with my brothers,
playing in every major city.
But I've never really had time to explore any of them...
until now.
This time around, I've got a few hours to check out these incredible cities
before I hit the stage on our sell out tour.
This is Cup of Joe.
[punk music playing]
Today we are in London...
♪
...where I'll be getting "cheesy" with a London local...
- Gosh, I can squat down and do the splits on that, baby!
- JOE: ...taking part in weird pub games...
- CROWD: Joe! Joe! - Joe! [chuckles]
- JOE: ...becoming a British soccer star...
[exclaiming]
...as I spend a Sunday in London.
- Wow! - What is that?
I'm gonna meet some local people
and find out how they relax in such a busy city.
But first, I gotta get my cup of joe.
-[clattering] -[hissing]
[bell dinging]
Got my coffee,
and I've got a tea for our special guest.
She's American and she moved here to London.
We're gonna explore an amazing market that's over 1000 years old.
Let's go check it out.
[electronic pop music playing]
Nicole.
Hi. How are you doing? - Hi, babe!
Good! - Good to see you.
- Welcome! - Thank you.
I got your tea. - Thank you.
I'm so happy. I'm in my second home.
- Who better to hang out with in London than Nicole.
- Yeah, let's do it! - I thought
why not we go to this amazing market and check out some local flavor.
- I'm hungry.
- Let's go. Let's check it out.
- NICOLE: Yay! This is my favorite type of stuff to do.
- So you and the girls are back together now?
- Yeah, you inspired us,
you and your brothers. - Wow.
- We just finished our music video... - Awesome. Amazing.
- ...and we're going on tour. We're starting rehearsals in less than a month.
- Incredible, wow. - [chuckles]
- I'm getting a lot of different smells here in the market.
- I know, already.
- I love cheese. I'm obsessed with cheese. - JOE: Oh, my gosh. Hello.
They're all English cheese? - Yeah, all of them.
- Yeah! English cheeses, that's what we're here for.
- SHOPKEEPER: This one was at the Kate Middleton wedding.
- JOE: Oh, my God.
- NICOLE: I just want you to know,
you're making me so happy right now. - JOE: Same.
- This is the biggest surprise ever, guys.
- Holy shit, that's really good. - NICOLE: Isn't that good?
Gosh, I could squat down and do the splits on that, baby!
- JOE: Oh, my God, smells so good!
- ♪ Throw some truffles on me ♪
You like my dance? - JOE: I like it.
- Have a lovely day. - OLD WOMAN: And you.
- There it is. A real English person, right there.
- Sea urchin and oysters, ready to eat! Right here!
- NICOLE: Please give me a squeeze.
- Give you a squeeze? I'm coming over.
- NICOLE: Give me a squeeze! - I'm coming, OK.
- JOE: Down the hatch.
- That is real. The sea is in my mouth!
Wow! - JOE: What is that?
- We kind of wanna touch your balls. - Please don't!
- They're telling Joe Jonas not to touch their balls.
[R&B music playing]
- So you spend a lot of time here. - I do, I live here half the time.
It's such a beautiful blend of people here in this city.
- It really is. - They kinda have everything here.
I love it. It's like New York but European style, right?
- Do you have any recommendations in my ten hours that I'm gonna be here today?
- I used to live, kind of, by South Bank.
And so I'd run up and down there. - Oh, nice.
- ...and that's really nice. So you should check that out.
- All right, I'll check it out.
I loved the vibe at the market.
But I wanted to find out what else people do on a Sunday in London.
So I followed Nicole's advice and I headed to the South Bank.
There's just so much amazing culture and, obviously, history.
You look out and see these iconic historic buildings.
So cool.
I do love how this theater is right above the skate park,
which just shows how easygoing this city is.
Oh, dope.
Some legit skating right here.
[shutter clicks]
I'm now off to check out an age-old traditional British pastime.
I'm headed to a proper London pub.
Can I get a London Pilsner, maybe? - Yeah.
- JOE: Thank you.
Can I join you guys?
And before I knew it, I was part of a quiz team.
- Which former Beatle became a narrator on the TV series Thomas the Tank Engine?
- JOE: It's gotta be Ringo Starr.
Yeah, he was looking for work.
- What is the name of the pub in EastEnders?
- I've watched the Christmas Special. That's all I know.
- "I am strong and I love spinach. I have a girlfriend.
Who am I?" -[whispers] Popeye.
[mouthing] Who is that?
- EMCEE: Guys, so, the results are upon us.
I can reveal we have two teams
for a tiebreaker for first place. - CROWD: Oh!
-So, guys, I need one person from each team to just kneel next to one another,
and you're gonna put your hands behind your back for me.
We're gonna place a chocolate on each of your heads.
You need to get that chocolate from your forehead into your mouth.
Okay? - Okay.
- Hands behind your back and head up.
Okay, go!
Oh! Vicky!
[cheering]
- CROWD: Joe! Joe! Joe! - EMCEE: Joe! [chuckles]
- ALL: Yeah!
- Oh, my God!
Yes.
- ALL: Yeah!
- JOE: The newly crowned king of quiz
has got one more stop to make before the gig tonight.
So I'm jumping on the iconic Tube
and traveling all the way up to North London.
There's one thing people here love more than anything
and that's their soccer, or "football" as they call it.
Coming from the pubs, I like what I'm seeing.
This is exciting.
I've come to visit one of the top London teams, Tottenham Hotspur,
who tonight are playing league champions, Man City.
- BOTH: City! City!
- JOE: And for my soccer initiation,
former Spurs and England legend, Ledley King,
has a little challenge for me.
- I pulled a few strings and get you a penalty kick.
It's your time to shine. - Oh, man!
My big moment has arrived.
- Come on, Joe, you can do it!
- JOE: How hard can this be?
- [crowd exclaims] - [Joe] Oops!
Let's try that again.
[cheering]
He shoots. He scores...
eventually.
Today, I've discovered what a fun city this is.
In their spare time, Londoners love to have a laugh,
whether it's browsing in an ancient market...
- Cheers. - Cheers.
...hanging out on the banks of the historic River Thames...
Thanks, man. Appreciate it. - Joe, nice!
- JOE: ...or having a pint in their local boozer.
- ALL: Yeah!
- JOE: London, you're awesome.
