Football Stadiums You Need to Visit in London

Dec 27, 2020 By Jonathan

London is home to some of the most famous football clubs in England and across the globe. With the bulk of English Premier League clubs coming from the capital, you will find some of the most amazing stadiums hosting some of these teams. Wembley Stadium is the home of football in England, but it does not play host to any individual club but is used mostly by the England National team for international assignments.

In this article, we look at some of the epic grounds you’ll need to visit in London, featuring stadiums with rich histories.

#1. Wembley Stadium

Wembley is England’s biggest football stadium with a sitting fan capacity of 90,000. Opened in 2007, it has hosted domestic cup finals featuring some of the country’s biggest teams and was also the stadium where the football finals of the 2012 London Olympics took place. Wembley is where England plays most of its international matches, including World Cup and Euro Cup qualifiers. Follow the Carabao and FA Cups and bet online with Betway88, featuring top teams like Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspurs, and Manchester City.

#2. The Emirates Stadium

It is not the oldest ground in London, but it certainly is one of the places you cannot afford to miss during your next visit to the capital. It is home to Arsenal Football Club, one of the most popular clubs in the world. The 60,000-seater Emirates Stadium was completed in 2006, allowing Arsenal to move from their old ground Highbury where they had made a lot of history. Remember, you can bet on Arsenal’s matches, and other EPL matches with Betway88 every matchday.

#3. Stamford Bridge

At Fulham Road, Southwest of London, lies another famous stadium, Stamford Bridge. It is home to Chelsea Football Club, arguably one of the biggest clubs in the country and Europe. Chelsea is currently chasing the English Premier League and the European Champions League, meaning there are always visitors coming to the stadium for matches. Betting fans can bet on upcoming Chelsea matches with Betway88.

#4. White Hart Lane

Another popular EPL side Tottenham Hotspurs plays its matches at White Hart Lane in North London. The stadium has not seen a lot of success in the recent past, but it was the ground for the remarkable FA Cup final win for the Spurs in 1991. It is now home to some of the country’s most prominent personalities, including English top marksman Harry Kane, former Real Madrid star Gareth Bale, and most notably, Jose Mourinho, the Portuguese coach who now manages Spurs.

#5. Craven Cottage

Did you know, Fulham Football Club is the oldest football outfit in London? Established in 1879, Fulham moved to Craven Cottage, arguably London’s most iconic ground, in 1896. Drawing a fan capacity of only 25,000, this is not the biggest football stadium in the City, but it is a place worth visiting. At the Craven Cottage is a giant statue of legendary pop singer Michael Jackson, erected under orders from club owner Mohammed Al Fayed.

In total, London is home to more than 20 football stadiums and clubs like Westham, Crystal Palace, and other outfits featuring in the EPL, Championship, and even other lower tiers of English Football. Make sure you bet on all these leagues with Betway88, the proud shirt sponsor of Westham Football Club.
