Welcome

Arsenal Football Club was founded in 1886 by David Danskin.  In 1913 the team moved to Highbury and became known as Arsenal.  In 2006 Arsenal relocated a short walk from Highbury Stadium to the newly built Emirates Stadium.

Emirates Stadium is a purpose built, modern day football stadium.  Even walkways and ramped access is located all around the Stadium providing visitors who are disabled, visually impaired or a wheelchair user easy access.  The Stadium Tour and Museum starting point is located within the Armoury Store on Hornsey Road.  Once inside the Stadium, the tour route and the Museum walkways are clearly marked, lifts are accessible and ramps provided where necessary.
