In this guide
Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham, West Ham at London Stadium, Wembley and Fulham all run stadium tours. You walk the tunnel, sit in the dressing room and the dugout and come out pitchside. Each club sells its own tickets, and the main difference between them is what happens on a match day.
💡 The Short Version: For a tour that includes a club museum, take Chelsea (£34, 60 minutes, guided) or Arsenal (£34, self-guided with a handset). For the cheapest, London Stadium, West Ham’s home, is £22 for 60 to 75 minutes. For the national stadium, Wembley is £28 for a 90-minute guided tour. Tottenham starts at £25 and lets kids go free with a paying adult. Fulham’s Craven Cottage tour is £30 for 75 minutes on GetYourGuide. Book ahead: Chelsea and London Stadium charge more on the day, and Tottenham’s standard tour does not run on a fixture day.
