This is the home of England Rugby. Up until recently called Twickenham Stadium. It has a capacity of 82,000 seats, the biggest rugby union stadium in the UK.
I have been to Twickenham many times over the years, but this visit was to the England v France 6 Nations match. I had a seat in the South Stand behind the goal in the top tier. There is a lift that takes about 8 people from the ground to the stand otherwise it long walk from the ground to the top tier.
Unlike the East and West stands which only need to go up a couple of flights to get to the top. I recommend the lower stands if you can't walk very far. There are areas for wheelchair user at the lower level close to the pitch.
All the facilities are of a high standard. There is a large car park and a large fan village containing food, drinks and a stage with a giant screen to show the matches. In addition there is a stage for the interviews and singers.
Twickenham also sometimes hosts music events.
This is a strange one. It ought to be a great stadium. Very imposing inside, great sight lines and always packed out. And yet ... The crowd is semi-involved. They might get enthusiastic. The attempts at whipping up enthusiasm I found annoying, certainly didn't get a response. Seats are not comfortable. Selection of beers in the stadium were shocking. Staff were uniformly great and efficient. It is, of course, fiendishly expensive. Very difficult to get to.
Really enjoyed the stadium and it's amenities. I thought the layout and atmosphere was great, with a good selection of food and drink options. Would highly recommend spending time in Richmond beforehand as the walk is not too long.
An outstanding experience
We visited to watch England play in the six nations against Scotland.
Food and alcohol is quite expensive but a lot to choose from .
2025
food was average £9-£15
Alcohol average £7-£10
Upon leaving after matches it’s organised well but very chaotic so would recommend hanging around for a bit if you can
