Sports Venues

People in London and Britain as a whole absolutely love their sport. Football is the number one crowd puller but rugby and cricket, especially when the national team is playing also sellout stadiums. The quality of the venues in London has rapidly increased over the last 10-15 years, Wembley Stadium is brand new this year seating 90,000, Twickenham rugby stadium has just completed the rebuilding of its south stand to be an 85,000 seater and Arsenal’s 60,000 Emirates Stadium, opened in 2006, must be one of the best places in Europe to watch a football match. Lord’s, the home of cricket, is a stadium any sports enthusiast would enjoy whether they were a cricket fan or not and Wimbledon is currently installing a sliding roof over its famous Centre Court meaning rain delays for the big matches will be a thing of the past.
