Hi guys!

I’m planing my trip to london somewhere during the next season, to see the lads playing for the first time in my life!!

I really want to have a full Chelsea experience, as this team is a special to me.

Do you have some recommended fan pubs or historic locations for the team I can visit during my stay?

Every other suggestion that will empower the experience is welcomed.

Thanks!

Why not tell us where you are from too, it might throw up some other ideas and also the month as well in case of anything else happening.

I’m from Israel.

Thought about getting to London at the start of December and staying until the Christmas fixtures. 

As I said before, I really want to absorb the Chelsea spirit and would like some recommendations from locals or other “fanatics” where can I get it?

Also I interested to learn about the founding and development of the team at any way other than a museum. If you know places that I can visit it’ll be awesome!

Welcome, for history I don't think you can get better than this:

I also think the club do ground tours for a price where you get their take on the club.

I'll copy in a few regulars who can perhaps advise on pubs to soak up the pre-match atmosphere as I haven't been regularly since 97.

For a historical Chelsea pub visit The Butchers Hook just up the road from Stamford Bridge. It’s where the club was ‘founded’.
