Your Essential Travel Guide To Stamford Bridge Stadium
Learn About Chelsea Football Club And Stamford Bridge Stadium
Stamford Bridge is the home of Chelsea, who have been playing there since forming in 1905. The stadium is in Fulham in west London and has hosted many significant club and international matches including FA Cup Finals and Charity Shield games. Its location also gives visitors access to a fascinating part of London, with the boroughs of Chelsea, Kensington, and Battersea on your doorstep.

London can be reached from our ferry port at Dover in just 1 hour 30 minutes by car, with regular Channel crossings from Dunkirk and Calais. You can also take advantage of our Dieppe to Newhaven ferry crossing that puts you within 2 hours’ drive of London.
What the Stadium has to offer
Chelsea’s home stadium is an essential visit for fans, with a variety of tours available on non-matchdays. You can visit the dressing rooms, the tunnel, and the dug-out areas, giving you an exciting new perspective as well as insight and stories from your tour guides. You’ll also get access to the museum, immersing visitors in over 100 years of the club’s history.
The football ground started life as an athletics field in 1877, evolving over the years to become the home of Chelsea and one of London’s major sports arenas. It’s set to evolve further when the stadium is rebuilt into a stunning new landmark 90,000 seater arena for 2020.
