Reasons to go
Full description
Craven Cottage has been Fulham FC's home since 1896, making it one of the oldest football grounds still in regular use in England, with its riverside setting on the Thames giving it an atmosphere unlike most modern stadiums. The ground takes its name from the small pavilion-style cottage that still stands in one corner, a quirk fans and visitors alike point out on tours.
Reviewers describe matchday atmosphere as intimate thanks to the compact capacity, and stadium tours cover the history behind the club's long tenure here. It's a pick for those drawn to football heritage as much as the modern game.

Took a stadium tour. Great experience and informative and friendly guide (His name was Trevor I believe). For anyone interested in the history of football in London more generally, this is definitely worth checking out. The tour lasts around 45 minutes and there's plenty of things to do nearby.
