Our best tips
London in October averages 10–16°C. Rain is common (roughly 16 days of the month), so a waterproof layer is essential, not optional.
Smart casual is the standard in Premier League hospitality suites. Think collared shirts and smart trousers rather than replica kits. Most venues will turn away guests in sportswear or football shirts.
Arrive at Emirates Stadium at least two hours before kick-off to enjoy the full pre-match hospitality. Bring a valid photo ID, as most Premier League venues require one for entry.

Getting around
The Piccadilly Line serves both Arsenal and Holloway Road stations, each a short walk from the ground. Arsenal station is closer to the main entrance and less congested before kick-off.
Black cabs and ride-hailing apps are readily available across North London. On match days, drop-off points are a few minutes' walk from the stadium as road closures apply around Highbury.
Several TfL bus routes stop within walking distance of the Emirates, including the 4, 19, 29, and 253. Useful if you are travelling from central London or Kings Cross.
Arsenal and Brentford share west London roots and a rivalry that stretches back over a century, though their paths diverged sharply for decades. The Gunners climbed to become one of English football's most decorated clubs while the Bees spent 74 years outside the top flight. Brentford's return to the Premier League in 2021 reignited a fixture that carries genuine local edge, with barely a dozen miles separating the two grounds.
We are not here to survive. We are here to compete.
We want to take this club to the next level and the next level is to win trophies.
Gunners born not on a pitch, but on a factory floor in Woolwich.
A group of workers at the Royal Arsenal in Woolwich formed Dial Square FC in October 1886, quickly renaming themselves Royal Arsenal. They were south-east London's first major football club, playing on Plumstead Common before moving to the Manor Ground. The club turned professional in 1891 and joined the Football League in 1893.
Oarsmen who swapped paddles for boots: Brentford FC grew from a rowing club in 1889.
Brentford Football Club was founded on 10 October 1889 by members of the Brentford Rowing Club. They settled in the west London borough that gave them their name, initially playing at various local grounds before finding a more permanent home. The Bees joined the Football League's Third Division in 1920.
Five league titles in eight seasons; Herbert Chapman turned a controversial relocation into football's most ruthless dynasty.
In 1913, Arsenal relocated from Woolwich to Highbury in north London, a controversial move that brought them closer to Brentford's west London territory. The relocation transformed the club's fortunes and fanbase. Under Herbert Chapman in the 1930s, Arsenal became the dominant force in English football, winning five league titles in eight seasons.
For one glorious season, the Bees finished above most of England; fifth place in 1935-36 remains their finest hour.
Brentford won promotion to the First Division in 1935, entering the top flight for the first time. For a brief, golden spell the Bees competed directly with Arsenal at the highest level. In the 1935-36 season, Brentford finished fifth, their best ever league position. The two clubs met regularly as First Division rivals until the outbreak of the Second World War.
Seventy-four years out of the top flight for Brentford, while Arsenal gathered three league titles and the pair rarely crossed paths beyond the cups.
Brentford were relegated from the First Division in 1947 and began a long decline through the football pyramid. The Bees would not return to the top flight for 74 years. Meanwhile, Arsenal continued to collect silverware, winning league titles in 1948, 1953, and 1971. The fixture between the two clubs became a rarity, limited to occasional cup encounters.
Ninety-three years at Highbury, then a 60,704-seat statement that rewrote what English football could look like.
Arsenal left Highbury after 93 years and moved into the 60,704-capacity Emirates Stadium in Ashburton Grove. The new ground gave the club one of the largest capacities in English football and a matchday experience to rival any in Europe. The move was the culmination of years of planning under Arsène Wenger, whose vision extended well beyond the pitch.
116 years, four corner pubs, and a farewell; Brentford's new era began at Kew Bridge.
After 116 years at Griffin Park, Brentford moved into their new 17,250-capacity Brentford Community Stadium in Kew Bridge. The modern ground replaced one of English football's most characterful venues, famous for having a pub on each corner. Under owner Matthew Benham's data-driven approach, the club was on the cusp of something remarkable.
Seventy-four years in the wilderness, then straight to a 2-0 win against Arsenal on the Premier League's opening night.
Brentford won promotion to the Premier League via the Championship play-offs in May 2021, ending a 74-year absence from the top division. Their reward? The opening match of the 2021-22 Premier League season, at home to Arsenal. Sergi Canós and Christian Nørgaard scored in a famous 2-0 victory that announced the Bees' arrival in emphatic fashion.
Brentford made Arteta's title race uncomfortable; finishing second, twice, tells its own story.
Under Mikel Arteta, Arsenal mounted serious title challenges in 2022-23 and 2023-24, finishing second both times. Matches against Brentford became must-win fixtures in the title race. The Bees, under Thomas Frank, proved they were no pushovers, establishing themselves as a settled Premier League side with a knack for causing problems for the league's elite.
