London Sporting Venues
With so many sporting venues across London, i Hotels London thought we would share with you some of our favourite sporting venues in London.
Why not enjoy a tour of the famous Stamford Bridge home to Chelsea FC. On a tour of the grounds you will visit the changing rooms, sit on the seat of your favourite player, walk up the players’ tunnel and possibly hear the crowd roar. The history of the grounds is as varied and unique as the team itself. You can also visit the small museum of memorabilia, and the trophy cabinet. Most matches are all ticket matches, but it is still fairly easy to gain entrance to matches in the early stages of cup competitions without the need to pre-purchase a ticket.
Often known simply as the Emirates formerly Ashburton Grove, is a football stadium located in Holloway and is the current home of Arsenal FC. The newly constructed stadium opened in 2006 and can seat 60,355, making it the second largest football club stadium in England. It was initially known as Ashburton Grove after the road it was located on, before a naming rights deal with the airline Emirates was struck in October 2004. The project cost £390 million, including the cost of the associated infrastructure. Tours are available of the stadium where on an amazing day out, you will have the opportunity to see all the areas which are crucial to the team on a match day - from a walk down the players' tunnel to a seat in the dressing room.
