London Stadium, The Boleyn

Fantastic stadium for sporting events, concerts and outdoor entertainment. Huge 60k capacity with multiple entrances. Food and drink concessions, merchandise and other retail options. Plenty of stewards and easy access. Gets very busy on match days so allow plenty of time. Good public transport links and access. Superb views inside stadium, seats are covered by roof. Amazing venue with iconic history.

I came for a West Ham United vs Chelsea match and it was phenomenal. It was sold out and I was lucky to obtain a ticket. The vibe was great and electric! A solid stadium with a very beautiful atmosphere. Watching the game was excellent, rules are you can’t bring your alcoholic drinks to the chairs so you have to drink it on the concourse. Merchandise can be purchased outside though and nothing once you get into the stadium.

My first ever time here and I was surprised by how nice the surroundings are. We went to watch a concert so it was very busy and very hot (during the heatwave) Every place to eat and drink stalls, restaurants and bars were rammed with people. But all the staff were friendly and helpful even though they were under great pressure. The stadium itself is massive and it had plenty of food stalls and toilets. The food was overpriced, but nothing more than expected with a venue such as this. The queues to get in were ridiculous and there was no shade. I spoke to the staff explaining that my husband was recovering from throat cancer and can't be exposed to the sun and we were then allowed to go through the disabled gate. Which we thoroughly appreciated, so we didn't have to queue really. Although our tickets had a certain gate and bridge to go through, we found it very odd that our assigned one was so far away from our seat. And there were closer bridges & gates we could have used, but it said unless you used the names one you can't get it. There are various water stations around the stadium and you were allowed to take bottles etc onto the arena.
