    Quirky ground with the Cottage in the corner and based on the side of the Thames. Always a great awayday. Strange but characteristic entrance to the away end. Excellent concourse with food and drink, and lots of room; based outside but underneath the stand. Visited in 2017 and then again in 2022 while the new stand was being constructed. Looked forward to going back at some point to see the finished job

    A lovely football ground to visit and watch a game of football. Craven Cottage is very nice its a small ground with so much history the new Riverside stand has been completed and its so much bigger better and with comfortable padded seats. You get a great view of the pitch from there and the other stands. A must visit to this ground for any football fans.

    The stadium itself is actually relatively modern once inside. It's historica, being a former cottage, that literally forms part of the new stadium. It sits right on the Thames. However there are some significant flaws. The food and drinks situation at half time was horrible, as most of them closed and there was a line that probably took 30 minutes to wait for a hot dog. Also the line for the bathroom was also way too long when compared to other stadiums I've been to. However overall a pleasing experience.

    A club with such a rich history has a great stadium that feels traditional and it's in ongoing expansion. I had the opportunity to seat very close to the pitch and the electricity is amazing. The facilities are also great, from toilets, to the team shop or the f&b sold at the premises. Can't wait for Fulham to be back on the Premier League and come back to The Cottage again

    One of my favourite stadiums in the UK. It’s managed to maintain the old club feel especially in the stand with the wooden seats. Great to still see the cottage in one end as well. Atmosphere is usually great and fans well behaved. Only problem is it can be a bit tricky to get tickets using their online system.

    I visited 4 stadiums during my trip to London and Craven Cottage was my favorite one. I absolutely love the old school vibe of the stadium and the welcoming atmosphere. All the staff, from stewards to team store employees, were very friendly. And to top it all off, Fulham beat Forest 5-0!

    One of the most beautiful Football Stadiums in the world. Full of character and charm, nestled into a residential neighbourhood on the river. Craven cottage is a stunner!

    As I'm not a football fan at all, it was surprising to find the tour to Craven Cottage very very interesting. Big thank you to the guide named Ian - he provided us with so many interesting facts ☺️

    This is what a proper English stadium looks like. Enjoyed every minute of it. It's right next to the Thames, has a fan-shop and a ticketing office open most of the time. Seeing Craven Cottage and Stamford Bridge just might make one become a lifelong English football fan instantly. Never change, Craven Cottage- never change.

    kleines altes typisch englisches Stadion. Super Atmosphäre als wir das Spiel Fc Fulham - Chelsea London besucht haben. Wir sind im Vorwege an der Stamford Bridge gewesen und haben von dort den Spaziergang zum Craven Cottage gemacht. Man geht ganz entspannt durch viele Wohnviertel und steht auf einmal vor diesem kleinen Stadion. Der Einlass lief problemlos, die Tore sind sehr sehr eng. Als übergewichtige Person könnte man stecken bleiben und sollte die Ordner fragen ob man nicht durch die Tore rein darf. Vor dem Stadion Bier & Essen. Die Sicht ist von allen Plätzen top. Die Haupttribüne war noch nicht richtig fertig deshalb blieben diese Plätze teilweise leer.

    Great, old historic stadium. Also architecturally significant, Original stands on one side blend nicely with newer modern stadium. The tour was a fun experience for the family. Definitely recommend this tour over the other London clubs.

    Visited as part of a run around London football grounds. Last came to Craven Cottage many years ago and looking forward to hopefully getting a ticket to come down when we play them in the Premier League. Stadium still holds some heritage and club shop was well stocked and good.

    This stadium has a very traditional English atmosphere. It is situated in the middle of a neighborhood in West London. Be aware that, because of English laws, no alcohol can be consumed on the stands. You can buy alcohol before the game and at half time, but the drinks must be finished before you (re)enter the stands.

    Great stadium hidden in a regular neighborhood. Had a chance to sit at the new Riverside stand in section R08, right by the away section. The energy inside the stadium was amazing.

    The tour was incredible. Not only is the stadium historical and interesting but the guide was super knowledgeable and easy to get along with. I'm not a Fullham fan but after the tour I might become one because it was that great. I only wish I was able to attend a match while I was there. Can't wait to see what it looks like when the renovations are done.

    A fantastic tour of Craven Cottage! An authentic stadium full of history, you don't get to see stadiums like that. The tour is a must to. The whole staff are passionate and dedicated to ensuring a great experience. Great visit of the Johnny Haynes Stand, the refurbished home and away changing rooms, the cottage where the directors sit, the refurbished club house. Don't hesitate to visit Craven Cottage a rare and historical experience.

    Craven Cottage has to be one of the best grounds I've been to in London. Modern and traditional, most definitely had a great view from my seat in the second row of the Johnny Haynes Stand. Upon arrival at the turnstiles, it was quite frustrating to have been told that my bag was too big. So I had to leave it at a drop off point, located in a separate building. If anyone does plan to bring a bag with them to Craven Cottage, make sure it is a small one. Otherwise do get there early, as the queues can be big at the drop off point pre and post match. The stewards were very helpful, as were the Fulham fans who I approached when asking for directions. The route from Hammersmith Station takes approximately 25 minutes to walk. There is also the option of taking the 220 bus, could take 15 minutes depending on the traffic. Overall, the experience was great and was glad to have finally ticked off a visit to The Cottage!

    We loved the stadium tour! Trevor and Julie were our guides and they were fabulous storytellers. It is fascinating to see “old” parts of the stadium still in tact. We love guided tours in general, but this one included many “fulhamish” anecdotes that allow for a very unique tour. We spent £25 each and the tour took about 80 minutes. Definitely recommend this tour if you are looking to visit one of the “smaller” stadiums!

    While it appears small, this wonderful gem of London’s history is a great day out! The views from the new riverside stand are expansive and provide a comfortable place to watch the match from. If you’re flying in from Heathrow, you might be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a match here. During half-time there is plenty of entertainment, competitions and presentations. However, I do imagine as a rival to Fulham Football Club, you might only be coming for the match. There’s plenty of facilities around the pitch, and more places with great beer, food (vegan options included!) I truly recommend this establishment, and to check out the nearby parks in Putney and Chelsea. The grounds are near to public transportation, like the buses, Putney Bridge station (District Line) and a few other within walking distance. Check google maps and the TfL / National Rail app.

    Good old traditional ground, was there for the FA Cup and the fans were voting with their feet by staying away due to ticket pricing so home support was horrific. The full stand of geordies more than made up for that though

  • 5/5 Alessio C. 7 months ago on Google • 31 reviews
    It was my fist time at Craven Cottage! Very nice stadium and you can feel the historic side of it. Went to watch Fulham Vs Luton Town FC - 2023. Suggested underground station near the stadium Putney Bridge then 18mins walk. Great experience!

  • 5/5 Teddy R. 3 months ago on Google • 22 reviews New
    It’s a nice old school stadium. Slightly strange away concourse as it’s an open air concourse that leads directly into the ground. Interesting but I liked it. Multiple away section bars too to go along with it.

  • 5/5 Andrea L. 2 months ago on Google • 20 reviews New
    Today my wife and I visited this amazing stadium. It was like a Jump in the past thanks our guide DOUG. He knows everything abiut the stadium and the club and made outlet tour even more interesting as he's a very pleasant person. The stadium doesn't need further commenta: pure magic for football fans and note only.

    Great stadium. Easy to get to. Very friendly. Best women's toilets in the premier League! Great result too.

  • 5/5 Walter Alejandro P. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely place to visit. Just a twenty-minute walk from Hammersmith tube station. The ground is surrounded by magnificent houses. This is a must if you're looking for style and tradition in football

    The tour was absolutely amazing! The tour guides Ian and Courtney (Hopefully spelled that right) had an amazing take on the stadium and its history, and were clearly involved with it. Really passionate guys, and gave one of, if not, the best stadium tour i've been on. Thanks heaps!!

  • 5/5 Mike H. 6 months ago on Google
    First time sitting in the new stand. Very comfortable, great views but scarily steep stairs like Wembley. However nothing beats a pie and a pint looking at the Thames gurgling past.

  • 5/5 Robin 1 year ago on Google
    Best and oldest football ground in London. Always a good atmosphere at the matches. And the Craven Cottage Tour is 2nd to none.
