London Stadium Tour: How to see five matches in two days

Premier League football trips in 2025/26 are once again defined by the armada of London clubs — three of them, Chelsea FC, Crystal Palace and Tottenham Hotspur — have already announced themselves with national and international titles for the new season. We show you how to plan a stadium tour featuring several Premier League matches in London, Europe’s football capital. 

London calling! That’s roughly what the eleventh Premier League matchday, starting on November 8, 2025, promises. 

Things kick off already at lunchtime in North London, when Tottenham Hotspur host record co-champions Manchester United at 1:30 p.m. German time in a rematch of the 2025 Europa League final.

Both clubs entered that European final in May from disappointing league positions but turned into early-season surprises in the new Premier League campaign. Tottenham, under new coach Thomas Frank, are back in third place and in the Champions League zone, while Man United shocked champions Liverpool with a 2–1 derby win.

London’s most modern stadium can be reached via four Underground stations: Seven Sisters (as with the old White Hart Lane), Tottenham Hale, White Hart Lane (London Overground) and Northumberland Park. For fans using step-counter apps, Seven Sisters is probably the best exit point — from there it’s about a 30-minute walk, roughly 3,000 steps...

Stadium Tour through London: West Ham also play on day one

West Ham United vs Burnley FC at the London Stadium – the 2023 Conference League winners against the newly promoted side. In Stratford, East London, our tour continues at 4 p.m.

Since 2016, soap bubbles have floated before every home match here. Since then, West Ham United have called the stadium home, and to the club anthem “I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles”, both teams take to the pitch of the 2012 London Olympic Stadium.

The London Stadium certainly can’t be compared to the historic Boleyn Ground (Upton Park), near Green Street in the East End — the spiritual home of West Ham United — but ticket availability for West Ham games has improved significantly over the past decade.

After West Ham’s move to the Olympic Stadium more than ten years ago, the old ground was demolished and replaced by modern apartments. 

Still, the Boleyn Ground Memorial Garden remains as a reminder. It’s about an 18-minute drive or taxi ride from the “Hammers’” new stadium — a worthwhile detour for those with time. 

Travelling directly from Tottenham to the “Hammers”? No true “Spurs” fan would do that voluntarily, but you can try! It’ll be tight before the 4 p.m. kickoff, yet by car or taxi, the trip from Tottenham to the slightly more southern London Stadium can be done in about 27 minutes.

Stadiums in London Map: Where is Chelsea FC’s arena located?

The evening match at Stamford Bridge is definitely doable — Chelsea FC vs Wolverhampton Wanderers, starting at 9 p.m.

The Underground ride to Fulham Broadway, the closest stop to the stadium, takes about an hour — but in London, that doesn’t necessarily mean much. 

Stamford Bridge has been the home of Chelsea Football Club since 1877. Around the stadium, it’s worth exploring the “Chelsea Village” hotel complex or the nearby King’s Road, where pubs like The Cadogan Arms are perfect for a pre-match pint. By taxi, it’s an 8-minute ride. 

Best London Stadium Tour: Final stop, Crystal Palace

The Premier League Sunday, November 9, takes us to the team that’s thrilled London — indeed all of England — through summer and autumn 2025: Crystal Palace. “The Eagles” won the FA Cup in May 2025, the first major trophy in club history, and handed champions Liverpool three defeats (in the Community Shield, on September 27 in the Premier League / photo, and on October 29, 2025, in the EFL Cup, 3–0 at Anfield).  

Crystal Palace host Brighton & Hove Albion from 3 p.m. — a classic Sunday afternoon match in London. 

The Selhurst Park stadium isn’t quite as easy to reach by train as the arenas of celebrity clubs Arsenal FC or Chelsea FC.

From the stations Selhurst, Norwood Junction, or Thornton Heath, it’s at least a 15-minute walk. From major central London stations (Victoria, Waterloo, London Bridge, King’s Cross, Euston), plan for about an hour of travel time. 

A match in London that weekend outside the Premier League? Absolutely! Millwall FC play on Saturday, November 8, 2025, from 1:30 p.m. German time against Preston North End (PNE). 

So why not head to SE16 — South East 16 — for a lunchtime game with Millwall FC? To capture the unique atmosphere around The Den and this legendary club, it’s best to take the Underground (Jubilee Line) to Canada Water, or regional trains to New Cross or New Cross Gate. At Millwall, you need strong nerves — and good shoes: expect a 25–30-minute walk. There’s no fan parking near The Den, so it’s best to travel by train or bus (routes 21, 53, and 172 to Old Kent Road; P12 to Ilderton Road; 1 and 381 to Rotherhithe New Road; and 47, 188, and 225 to Surrey Quays). 

Football trip to London: Can you still visit Arsenal’s old stadium?

Yes and no. The former Arsenal ground has now been converted into 700 luxurious residential units — stylish living in Islington. 
The East Stand of Highbury, built in 1936 and now a listed structure, has been integrated into this residential complex. 

In Highbury’s non-public area, around 500 Arsenal fans have found their final resting place in the park-like “Memorial Garden.”
