Fulham

Every Fulham match this season, home and away — each one links to hotels near the ground it’s played at, so away weekends are as easy to book as home ones.

Home ground: Craven Cottage, London

Good to know: Premier League kick-off dates and times move for TV broadcast picks all season — often on a few weeks’ notice. If your stay is built around the match, choose a free-cancellation rate so your booking can move with it.

History

Fulham were founded in 1879 by worshippers at a Church of England Sunday school in West Kensington, making them London's oldest professional football club. The Cottagers nickname comes from Craven Cottage itself, their home since 1896 — a thatched cottage once standing within the Bishop of London's estate and, before that, said to have been connected to Anne Boleyn's family. The riverside ground, hemmed in by the Thames on one side and Bishop's Park on the other, remains one of the most distinctive settings in English football, and Fulham's long, unhurried history as a well-run, well-supported London club has outlasted spells in every division of the game.
