European champions England will face Commonwealth Games bronze medallists New Zealand, South Korea and Belgium in the capital in July.

"Playing in front of a large crowd and the pressure that can produce in competition is different from a friendly game," England coach said.

"It would have been nice to play as Great Britain but Scotland and Wales have crucial European tournaments early in the summer and Scotland also have the Champions Challenge.

"In our GB agreement we support all the home nations in their aspirations at world-level hockey."

England captain Barry Middleton added: "The team is getting increasingly excited about this opportunity to play in London, especially with the London 2012 Olympics only a year away.

"We're really hoping hockey and sports fans come and support us at this inaugural London Cup event."

The London Cup will be held at the University of Westminster's Quintin Hogg Memorial Sports Ground in Chiswick between July 12 and 16.
