London has more top-flight football clubs than any other city in Europe, and several of them open their doors to visitors. If you can only do one stadium tour, here’s how the big names compare.
1. Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
The newest and most technologically advanced stadium on the list. Opened in 2019 with about 62,850 seats, it has a retractable grass pitch that hides an NFL field underneath, and the largest single-tier stand in the UK. The tour is self-guided and takes you through the home dressing room, the players’ tunnel and pitchside.

2. Wembley Stadium
The home of English football and the national team, famous for its arch and the 90,000-seat bowl. A must for fans of cup finals and England history.
3. Emirates Stadium (Arsenal)
Arsenal’s home since 2006, a short trip from Tottenham in north London.
4. Stamford Bridge (Chelsea)
One of London’s oldest football grounds, in west London, with a museum covering Chelsea’s history.
Visiting from Ireland?
Dublin to London is one of Europe’s busiest air routes, with many daily flights to Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and London City. Stansted and its rail link via Tottenham Hale are especially handy for a north London football weekend.
