Arsenal FC Emirates Football Stadium Tour Review & Guide

Welcome to Arsenal

If you are a football fan in London, you must do a Stadium Tour as part of your holiday highlights. Within an hour from Central London, you have a couple of Premier League Stadiums that are easily accessible by the tube. There is Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Westham.

Of the lot, we decided to do an Arsenal Emirates Stadium Tour located at Drayton Park.

How to book the Arsenal Stadium Tour?

While you can book directly with Arsenal or Klook for the Emirates Stadium Tour, we have found a hack for a cheaper entrance fee. We picked up the Go City: London Explorer Pass for 5 attractions from Klook and saved 35% off the admission. If there are more than 3 attractions in your itinerary, we suggest checking it out. Unlike other stadium tours, there is no need to book a specific date, making it flexible to plan your itinerary.

You can download the Go City App and download the pass according to the email confirmation by Klook. Once done, just show the pass on the attractions you visit.

Getting there

Getting to Emirates stadium is easy from Central London. Depending on where you are, it should take less than an hour to reach. There are three stations within walking distance.

• Picadilly Line - Arsenal and Holloway Road
• Great Northern - Drayton Park

Emirates Stadium Tour: Where to Start?

Arsenal Sign

If you take from Great Northern or Arsenal Station, you will see this Arsenal sign along Drayton Park leading you to The Danny Fiszman Bridge. 

Danny Fiszman Bridge

Cross the bridge, and you can spot the Herbert Chapman Statue. Turn left and walk around the stadium to the Armoury on level 1.

If you come from Holloway Road, you will see a pair of cannons fronting the stadium. Walk straight, and you will reach the armoury.

The Armoury @ Arsenal

Head to the counter, show them the Go-City Pass or any other tickets you have, and you will be given a headset to start your tour. This tour is free and easy, and there will not be a guide to bring you around. Instead, an audio guide will lead you through the 14 narratives that will take place around the stadium.

Director's Entrance

Arsene Wenger Bust @ Emirates

There are several busts at the Director's Entrance. The most recognisable for international fans would be Arsene Wenger.

Next we have a walk through the Director's Lounge. 

The Golden Premier League Trophy

Look out for the special golden Premier League trophy commissioned for Arsenal Invincibles, who finished a 38-match season unbeaten.

Director's Box (Outside)

Next, we stepped out of the Director's Box for a bird's eye view of the stadium pitch. 

Emirates Football Pitch

It's hard to deny the feeling when this is your first time seeing a Premier League pitch, especially when you have been following English Football for decades.

We head back inside to check out the player's entrance. There is an interesting time capsule here.

Arsenal Time Capsule

Players Pre Match Tunnel

Pre Match Tunnel

The prematch tunnel is one of the more impressive ones we have seen among the stadiums we toured during this holiday.

Away Changing Room

Away Changing Room

The Away Changing Room is next. We think that this area is purposely blandly decorated to put gloom on opponents. 

Home Changing Room

Home Changing Room

In contrast, the home changing room is impressive. The colours are more striking with Arsenal red. 

Arsenal Chaning Room

There is even a treatment room in the changing room. 

Mikel Arteta Office

Next to the changing room is Mikel Arteta's newly renovated office.

We walked down the famed player's tunnel, a feature you will see in home matches televised around the work.

Home Dugout

Arsenal Home Dugout

Besides admiring the pitch up close, we stopped at the home dugout.

Interview Room

Interview Room

The interview room looks much smaller than real life, but it is unmistakable with the sponsor's logo as a background. This room is usually featured at the end of the match when they interview the players

Press Conference Room

Arsenal Press Conference Room

The press conference room was our last stop for this stadium tour.

Verdict

If you are an Arsenal fan, you have to visit the Emirates Stadium. Even if you are not an Arsenal fan but a football fan, it will be hard not to enjoy this stadium tour if you are in London.

We highly recommend adding this to the itinerary if there are any fans in your travelling entourage; after all, it is not every day that you will get to visit a Premier League stadium.
