Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
748 High Road, Tottenham, London, Greater London, N17 0BX
Big and bold, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is the modern 2019 replacement for the team’s original White Hart Lane Stadium. It’s one of London’s largest soccer stadiums, hosting not only soccer games and concerts, but also American football thanks to its slick retractable pitch. Now, the site is known as the NFL’s home in the UK, as well as the home of Tottenham Hotspur (aka Spurs).
The basics
Enjoy the exhilarating ambience of a league game day at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. If you're not a season ticket holder, you can book match tickets ahead of your visit online to guarantee entry. Besides Premier League (England's top league) fixtures, the stadium also hosts NFL games, which are played on an artificial surface hidden beneath the retractable grass soccer pitch.
And to step behind the scenes, join a guided tour of the stadium—fans can visit team changing rooms and other areas that are normally off-limits to the public. You can also brave the Dare Skywalk, which involves scaling the stadium roof before rappelling down to ground level.
Things to know before you go
Take your credit card, as the stadium goes cashless on match days.
Bag searches delay entry—if possible, leave yours behind.
The stadium has a wide range of dining and drinking options.
To purchase Tottenham Hotspurs memorabilia, head to the enormous Tottenham Experience shop.
The stands offer wheelchair-accessible seating.
How to get there

When to get there
