Stamford Bridge

Stamford Bridge is a football stadium in the Fulham area of west London that has been the home ground of Chelsea Football Club since the club’s formation in 1905. The ground dates to the late 19th century and has been redeveloped in phases to provide modern spectator facilities.

The venue comprises four main spectator stands, hospitality suites and media facilities arranged around the playing pitch, and it regularly hosts domestic and continental football fixtures. The stadium’s location is well connected by London public transport and lies within the urban fabric of west London.

Originally opened in the 1870s as an athletics venue, the ground became dedicated to association football with Chelsea’s move in 1905 and underwent multiple periods of renovation during the 20th and early 21st centuries.

Stamford Bridge sits in Fulham, in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, on the west side of central London with easy access from nearby public transit stations.
