Hotels near London Stadium

London Stadium was built to host the London 2012 Olympics and was subsequently renovated to become the home of Premier League football club West Ham United and UK Athletics. As well as hosting regular football matches and athletics events, it has also played host to rugby, Major League Baseball and rock concerts such as Guns ‘N Roses, Muse and Foo Fighters.

London Stadium is one of the largest multi-purpose venues in the UK. For sporting events it has a seated capacity of 66,000. For concerts the capacity can increase to 80,000.

No, Wembley Stadium is the largest stadium in the UK with a capacity of 90,000.

West Ham played their home games at their previous stadium the Boleyn Ground (otherwise known as Upton Park) for 112 years, from 1904 to 2006. They moved to London Stadium as it has a far greater capacity than the Boleyn Ground and, as West Ham has a large fanbase, it meant they could accommodate more fans at home matches.

West Ham do not own London Stadium. They secured a 99-year lease deal when they agreed to move there so they are tenants who pay rent to play their home matches at the ground.

The stadium is owned by the E20 Stadium LLP, a London Legacy Development Corporation body. It’s used by West Ham United football club and UK Athletics. It also hosts large scale rock concerts.

After the 2012 Olympics a multi-million-pound conversion of the stadium began. 25,000 seats were removed, the floodlights were replaced, the black and white seating design from the Olympics was changed to a white, blue and claret design and a new roof was built to improve acoustics. It is believed to be the largest cantilevered roof in the world.

It is now called London Stadium and hosts the home matches of Premier League football club West Ham United as well as UK Athletics meets and regular rock concerts.

London Stadium is in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford.

The seating areas of the stadium are covered by the longest cantilevered roof in the world. The standing area for concerts (the football pitch) is not covered.
