Football in London

Walk the players’ tunnel, sit in the England dressing room and climb the 107 steps to the Royal Box. Tours don’t run on event days, so book a quiet weekday online.

Self-guided audio tour through the home dressing room, the tunnel and the directors’ box, with the Arsenal Museum next door. Arsenal station on the Piccadilly line is a five-minute walk.

A modern ground built for the visitor, with a glass-walled tunnel and the Spurs dressing room. White Hart Lane Overground station is closest.

Guided tour of the dressing rooms, press room and dugouts, plus the Chelsea museum of trophies and shirts. Fulham Broadway on the District line is right outside.

Most Premier League match tickets go to club members first, so buy a membership on the club’s official site before general sale. Tickets from street sellers or unofficial sites can be cancelled at the gate.
