Top 7 Football Stadiums in London … Your Full Guide 2023
London Olympic Stadium
West Ham United FC plays its home games at London Stadium, which was built as the centerpiece of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. The oval-shaped stadium is in East London, a regenerated district with lots to see and do before and after the game. The stadium’s design allows for excellent sightlines from any of its 60,000 seats. Wheelchair users’ needs have also been properly examined. Because the stadium is so huge in comparison to the club’s stature, tickets to games here are frequently available on the day of play, unlike at larger clubs in the UK.
If you want to hear the West Ham fans chanting, head to the Billy Bonds Stand. Every day of the week, tours of the stadium are offered, and they will take you around and tell you all about how it was built. The London Olympic Stadium is ideally positioned near Stratford station, which has access to both underground and overground transportation routes.
Craven Cottage
Craven Cottage, the home of Fulham Football Club, is one of the best sites to watch a game while learning about the club’s history. This West London stadium, located in affluent Fulham on the north bank of the Thames, is relatively new. After Mohamed Al-Fayed, the owner of Harrods, took over, Fulham experienced a period of great success and rose through the football leagues before finally becoming a well-known Premier League team.
Wooden bleachers and original red brick architecture are what set Craven Cottage apart. In comparison to most stadiums’ contemporary glass and steel, the mood here is much more traditional. A football tour will take you around the stadium and teach you everything you need to know about the club’s rich history. Take the Tube to Putney Bridge Station and walk to Craven Cottage.
The Valley
Charlton Athletic is the hidden juggernaut of East London. The Valley stadium has a capacity of 27,000 people, so it’s remarkable that the team hasn’t competed in the Premier League since 2006-07. The Valley is a lively place to watch some lower-league English football, despite the fact that many other clubs in London outnumber Charlton’s supporters. These tickets are far less expensive than those for other London teams.
