Meet your guide, a lifelong Arsenal supporter, outside Costa Coffee at Finsbury Park Station. From here, venture through the quieter backstreets of Highbury and Islington, offering a glimpse into the neighborhood beyond matchday crowds. Along the way, discover hidden corners, local stories, famous Arsenal pubs, cafés, places to eat, and a side of North London that many visitors never get to experience.
The first major highlight is Highbury, Arsenal's legendary home from 1913 until 2006. Widely regarded as one of the most beautiful football grounds ever built, Highbury's surviving East Stand façade is a Grade II listed masterpiece of Art Deco architecture. Elegant, distinctive, and historically important, it remains one of London's hidden architectural treasures.
Learn about the unforgettable matches, legendary players, iconic managers, and historic moments that made Highbury one of football's most revered grounds. Discover how Arsenal became deeply connected to the local community and why Highbury remains such a special place in the hearts of supporters around the world.
From Highbury, the tour continues through Arsenal territory towards the Emirates Stadium. As you approach, the impressive scale of Arsenal's modern home gradually reveals itself. Hidden viewpoints and unique perspectives provide excellent photo opportunities before the magnificent stadium opens up before you.
