Football Trips to London

One weekend in London can feel like several football cities stitched together. With our football trips to London, we combine flights, carefully selected hotels and official match tickets, backed by our ticket guarantee. Since 2008, we’ve helped over 50,000 travelers turn the capital into a complete football trip.

The capital’s biggest football stages

London’s grand arenas each have their own rhythm. Wembley rises above Olympic Way with its arch, 90,000 seats, clear sightlines and the 107 steps to the Royal Box. It feels made for finals, England games and days when the whole country seems to arrive at once.

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium holds 62,850 and is built for scale, with a 17,500-seat single-tier South Stand that turns noise into a wall. Emirates Stadium, with around 60,704 places, blends Arsenal’s present with memories of Highbury, from the Clock End references to the old rituals of North London.

• For North London colour, Arsenal at Emirates Stadium gives you red scarves, packed pavements and a polished big-game feel.
• A Tottenham football trip is about size, sound and that slow walk towards the glowing bowl on Tottenham High Road.
• West Ham at London Stadium brings Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park into the day, before “I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles” rolls around the 62,500-capacity venue.

Stamford Bridge is different again: about 40,000 seats, squeezed tightly into the Fulham Road area. It feels less like a destination dropped into the city and more like part of the street pattern itself.

Where the streets shape the game

The strongest memories often arrive before kick-off. Around Arsenal, the build-up spreads through Holloway Road, Blackstock Road, Drayton Park, Finsbury Park and Hornsey Road. Food smoke, programme sellers and passing songs give the walk its own pulse.

For Chelsea, the story begins close to The Butcher’s Hook, where the club was founded in 1905. A Chelsea football weekend places you among side streets, blue shirts and the compact intensity around Stamford Bridge.

West Ham’s day stretches across Stratford, Hackney Wick, Riverside East and Olympic Park. Fulham feels softer, with the walk from Putney Bridge through Bishops Park leading towards Craven Cottage by the Thames. South London is sharper: Thornton Heath, Norwood Junction and the Holmesdale Road end give Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park its constant edge.

• If you like river light and old brickwork, Fulham at Craven Cottage is one of the most scenic ways to spend the evening.
• If you prefer a tighter, louder setting, Shepherd’s Bush, South Africa Road and the close-to-the-pitch feel at Loftus Road create a very different London football trip.

Old-school grounds and local character

Not every great football trip needs the biggest venue. Selhurst Park opened in 1924, holds about 25,486 and is known for drums, flags and relentless noise. Craven Cottage has been Fulham’s home since 1896, with about 28,800 places after the Riverside redevelopment. The Johnny Haynes Stand and the Cottage itself are listed structures, adding real texture to the visit.

Loftus Road is smaller still, with 18,439 seats and an enclosed shape that pulls everything close. A QPR football trip feels raw, local and personal, especially when the ball is near the touchline.

Vicarage Road holds about 22,200 and includes the Sir Elton John Stand, making Watford an easy add-on a clever way to widen the weekend. Beyond the capital, Stadium of Light offers a northern extension with around 49,000 places, plus Roker, Seaburn and the Beacon of Light Fanzone as natural gathering points before the game.

Fixtures that change the whole weekend

Some fixtures alter the temperature of the city. Arsenal v Tottenham is the North London derby, sharpened by Arsenal’s move from Woolwich to Highbury in 1913. Chelsea v Fulham is a West London meeting shaped by nearby streets and neighbourhood pride.

West Ham’s Dockers Derby carries echoes of dockworker and shipyard history, while Crystal Palace’s M23/A23 rivalry is unusual, emotional and fiercely guarded by supporters. At Wembley, finals, play-off deciders and major football occasions turn the walk up Olympic Way into part of the national sporting calendar.

For derby weekends and major fixtures, demand is naturally higher. That is exactly where our London football packages make sense: we arrange the route, the stay and the seat, so you can focus on the roar, the colours and the moment the players walk out.
