  • Wembley & Twickenham are national stadiums (football & rugby).
  • Selhurst Park (Palace) 25,486; London Stadium is former Olympic Stadium.
  • All are all-seater (UEFA/FIFA/Premier League requirement).

  • Football (Soccer): Wembley, Tottenham, Emirates, London Stadium, Stamford Bridge.
  • Rugby Union: Twickenham (HQ), plus Saracens at StoneX (10,500), Harlequins at Twickenham Stoop (14,800).
  • Cricket: The Oval (25,500), Lord's (31,100) — under 50k.
