London Sports Travel Tips by redhotwax

Visit The Home of Football, as Arsenal fans proudly call their Highbury stadium. Truely one of the few traditional stadia left in England. Seating 38.500 football mad Englishmen in the middle of London, visiting this place is an experience on its own, even if you're not into football.

Try to arrange tickets before you visit, as it's pretty much impossible to get tickets from the box office. If you're unable to get them through the official channels, expect to pay double the standard price off a 'street vendor'. Tickets range from 33 to as much as 55 pounds. Expect to pay through the nose when the big clubs (Liverpool, Man Utd, Chelsea) or the traditional rivals from across the street, Tottenham, visit.

Directions: You can get to Highbury by tube, the Arsenal station gets really crowded on matchdays, and if you don't mind a short walk (10 mins), stop at the bigger Finsbury station, and just follow the crowds!

I just love football, and in London there's plenty of stadia to check out! Craven Cottage is amongst my favorites, simply because it's such an 'English' stadium. When you're watching football inside this stadium, you know this is what a ground should look like.

Pay attention to detail and find the wooden seats in the main stand! And what about the 'Cottage' between the Main and Putney stands? Fantastic stadium.

Directions: Take the tube to Putney, and follow the crowds! Lovely walk along the Thames river.
