    Arsenal Stadium, Highbury

    Posted by NathanLau 23 November 2005

    The only football stadium with a tube station named after it! Only a stone's throw away from the Arsemal tube station, go savour the atmosphere of a Premiership football match and admire the Art Deco architecture of the listed East Stand Building. Better still, read Nick Hornby's Fever Pitch before going! Matches usually take place on alternate Saturdays/Sundays from August to May.

    PS. This review may be a tad biased, coming from an Arsenal fan, but even a non-football fan will enjoy the matchday atmosphere. My wife can attest to that!

    Updates
    Arsenal now play their football just down the road at Ashburton Grove in the brand new, state of the art, Emirates Stadium. Highbury, the old stadium, is being converted to flats with the Art Deco East stand facade remaining as is and the pitch being transformed into communal gardens.
