Tottenham is a huge area in north London has many attractions to see and explore. Welcoming and well connected, it offers great outdoor attractions and places to hang out.

White Hart Lane

White Hart Lane has been home to the famous Tottenham Hotspur Football Club – “Spurs” – since 1899. Obviously you can enjoy world-class football matches here, but visitors can also get a tour of the stadium, including the changing rooms where the likes of Glen Hoddle, Gareth Bale and Paul Gascoigne have geared up for those big games, and press room.
