Will Stamford Bridge be crowded on April 17th?
I’m visiting London and staying near Chelsea. I arrive in the afternoon on the 17th and would like to find a pub for dinner before hitting the sack early. I initially planned to stroll through Brompton Cemetery to reach a pub, but I just realized Chelsea has a match in the UEFA quarterfinals that evening. Should I steer clear of the area around the stadium? I’m mainly worried about large crowds and packed pubs. I appreciate any advice!
Yes, the area around Stamford Bridge is likely to be busy on April 17th due to the UEFA quarterfinal match. It’s common for pubs and restaurants near the stadium to be packed with fans before the game, and there might be an influx of people as they gather for the match.
If you’re looking for a quieter dinner option, you might want to steer clear of pubs in the immediate vicinity of the stadium. Instead, consider heading a bit further away from Stamford Bridge or looking for places outside the Chelsea area. There are many great options in nearby neighborhoods like Fulham or Kensington that should be less crowded and offer a more relaxed atmosphere. Enjoy your trip!
