What is the Chelsea FC Stadium Tour?

chelsea-fc-stairs-shallow-depth-field

The Chelsea FC Stadium Tour takes you behind the scenes at one of the most successful European football clubs of the modern era, Chelsea. Take a self-guided, multimedia-enriched tour of Stamford Bridge, home of the The Blues, to get a sense of the home matchday experience and learn the history of this prestigious West London team.

What can I see and do during the Chelsea FC Stadium Tour?

On the self-guided, multimedia, multi-language Chelsea FC Stadium Tour—free with your London Pass—you whisk yourself around the most exclusive parts of Stamford Bridge. Aided by the multimedia guide, you’ll see the home dressing room, where there’ll be plenty of opportunities to snap a pic of you next to your favourite player’s shirt. Then you’ll be in the tunnel, feeling that buzz of matchday excitement, that moment you’ve seen so often on your TV, of the players all speaking to one another behind cupped mouths, awkwardly holding hands with their Mini-Me mascots. As you head out into the cauldron of Stamford Bridge itself, you’ll really get a sense of the bear pit-like layout of the ground. Take another few pics of yourself in the manager’s dugout, taking note after note about what you’ll say to spur on the guys at half time, questioning if now is the time to debut your revolutionary 7-man attack, and dreaming about how much better everything would be if Hazard was still here. Next up, soak in the stadium from pitchside, before heading for a debrief in the Press Room. Throughout the Chelsea FC Stadium Tour, your multimedia guide will be feeding you a steady stream of fantastic and informative extra content, including stunning videos, 360-degree films, archive footages and quizzes. The best thing about the multimedia tour which, we’ll repeat, is 100% free to those with a London Pass, is that you can take it at your own speed. You’re not hurried from one room to the next, so you get plenty of opportunity to get the snaps you need to show off to everyone back home.

I heard there was a museum and a chance to get some merch...

The tour ends with a trip to the museum, included with the multimedia tour, which itself is included with your London Pass. This is the place to really get deep into the history of this storied club, learning about legends present, past and future. Then you’ve got freedom to explore the club shop and pick up some Chelsea merch.

What other tour options are there?

You can prebook a Classic Stadium Tour, which is a more traditional tour with a dedicated tour guide. The Classic Stadium Tour departs at 3.10pm every day. You’ll get lots of insider info from the knowledgeable guide as you make your way through the stadium’s most exclusive player and staff areas. This experience is only available in English. Chelsea nuts will want to stay up to date with the latest Legends Tours. These tours are guided by different Chelsea FC legends, each of whom comes with fascinating and funny stories from their time at the club. As part of this tour option, you’ll get a photo of yourself with the club’s silverware to take home with you. You also get ample time to quiz the legend on their life and times at Chelsea FC, offering new perspectives on the lives of footballers and what it means to be a part of The Blues’ history and legacy. These tours need to be booked in advance and are not included with your London Pass.

What do all the tour options cost?

The Chelsea FC Multimedia Tour is free with the London Pass. It can’t be rebooked when coming with the London Pass. Otherwise, the Multimedia Tour is £24 for adults, £15 for those aged 15 and under, and £16 for concessions (registered disabled, students with valid ID and senior citizens), while under 5s and carers go free. The Classic Guided Tour costs £30 for adults, £22 for children, £23 for concessions and under 5s and carers go free. Legends Tours cost £80 per ticket, with all tickets priced the same.

Access to the Chelsea FC Museum is completely free for London Pass holders.

West Brompton and Imperial Wharf Overground stations are both a 15 minute walk from Stamford Bridge. Buses stopping outside Stamford Bridge on Fulham road are the numbers 13, 211 and 414.

What if I want to see a game?

Historic Buildings and Monuments in London

Learn about London’s heritage at the best historic buildings in London The City of London dates back to Roman times so there’s no shortage of historic attractions to visit. One of the most impressive and iconic attractions, and one of the most important London landmarks, is the Tower of London. Dating back to 1066 and the Norman Conquest, this historic fortress is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the city as it documents over eight centuries' worth of London history from the royal family, to notorious prisoners and politicians. Visit the oldest exhibition in the world, the Line of Kings, to see the armor of the old rulers, as well as the priceless Crown Jewels and Traitor’s Gate. See the legendary ravens hopping around the courtyard, pop into the Jewel Tower and follow a Beefeater Tour to learn of the tales of those who used to live in this historic building. Just in front of the Tower of London is the Tower Bridge (often mistaken for London Bridge). Tower Bridge is one of London’s most iconic landmarks and has sat astride the River Thames since 1894. This Victorian bascule steam-powered bridge was a feat of industrial engineering in its time. Now, it’s been opened up to the public to take a look into the bowels of the bridge, and also to walk across the top walkways featuring the new Glass Walkways to look down at the river and see the pedestrians walking below. Offering great views up and downstream, it’s a great historic building in London to learn about the city both past and present. Another famous historic site in London is Westminster Abbey, the stunning Gothic UNESCO World Heritage Site and coronation church since the 11th century. Westminster Abbey is one of the most beautiful and impressive historic buildings in London and is the burial ground of some of England’s legendary authors, scientists and great thinkers, from Charles Darwin to Geoffrey Chaucer. It’s been in the spotlight more recently as it was the site of Kate & Wills’ wedding in 2011 and it’s also open daily for sermons and worship. If you are a fan of the Royal Family and the history of the monarchy, make sure you visit one of the many royal residences in London. The picturesque Kensington Palace in West London was the childhood home of Queen Victoria; then it was the home of the late Princess Diana and now her eldest son, the Duke of Cambridge, Prince William, who lives there with Kate and his two children. Kensington Palace also has a series of fascinating exhibits on show, opening up its State Rooms to the public, and has an Orangery on the grounds serving traditional Afternoon Tea! Windsor Castle on the outskirts of London is the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world – and is the Queen’s preferred weekend residence. Set in the small borough of Windsor, this rural town is a great place for a day trip. With the Changing of the Guard, 39 State Rooms and a famous Dolls House, it’s one of England’s most popular royal palaces for both locals and visitors alike. Hampton Court Palace is another historic building outside London where you can learn about King Henry VIII and his life as a Tudor King. Visit the historic hedgerow maze, tennis courts, manicured gardens and Tudor Kitchens. Join in on a tour and learn about the secrets and scandals of life at court and just what went on under King Henry VIIIs rule!
