London

As meagre as the last few years have been, Arsenal continues to have something special. The Emirates Stadium is a bit cold and corporate, but in a fantastic football neighbourhood where every corner has a story, close to central London.

Chelsea is not popular with everyone, but can we play devil's advocate for a moment? The combination of top football, a secretly pretty cool stadium and the location in one of London’s most beautiful neighbourhoods makes Chelsea a must-visit place.

We fully understand that West Ham United have lost a lot of its soul for many supporters. Still, you should visit the Hammers, preferably with an eye to the past: deep in East London you will find their old spirit and you will learn to understand the club.

The Valley is a stadium with a wonderful story: no other London stadium has been so passionately fought over as this one. It is thanks to the supporters of Charlton Athletic that the club still plays here for more than a hundred years.

Tottenham Hotspur has always been worth a visit as a classic English club. They still are, but now for a completely different reason: the club has recently started playing in the most modern football stadium in Europe, and the reactions from friend and foe are positive.

A beautiful location on the Thames, a characteristic stadium, a great away end and plenty of tickets available. Fulham is the perfect starter for those who want to spend a football weekend in London. Below you can read why.

Frank de Boer and Tony Pulis may think differently, but we have an urgent advice: go to Crystal Palace. An authentic football atmosphere in the Premier League and Selhurst Park is one of the nicer stadiums in London.

Even the old street name sounds intimidating: Millwall's stadium is located on 'Cold Blow Lane'. But don't be fooled by all the terrifying stories from the past. You must go to The Den at least once.
