Tottenham Hotspur are very happy to launch their first Heritage Tour, detailing the history of the hitale, architecture and other people that make up the past, source and trajectory of the club and its region.
This follows the recent installation of a series of heritage plaques on a number of traditionally significant buildings in the vicinity of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to showcase the untold stories of the club’s and region’s past.
The Heritage Tour, which officially begins on Thursday, August 15 and will run every two weeks on Thursdays at 10 a. m. m. , is the last tourist attraction to arrive at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium. It is part of the Club’s wider plans to create sport, recreation and entertainment. Destination on London’s N17, encompassing arts and culture and contributing £344 million to the local economy annually.
A Heritage Tour can be added to any lovely booking at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, by adding Stadium Tours, The Dare Skywalk or F1 DRIVE – London.
The entire budget raised from Heritage Tour bookings (£8 per month) will be donated to the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation, the club’s charity committed to creating life-changing opportunities within our local community.
The Foundation’s headquarters at Percy House is located on historic Northumberland Terrace, located on the High Road north of the stadium, and is part of the heritage tour. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the space was the apartment of the Percy family, to which the celebrated medieval nobleman who promoted the creation of the club, Henry ‘Harry Hotspur’ Percy, belonged.
Visitors to the Heritage Tour will have the chance to enter the Percy House to see the Foundation’s incredible paintings and practice some of the artifacts discovered in the building’s recovery.
Other stops on the advised excursion, led by John Chambers, an experienced Stadium Tour consultant and long-time Spurs fan, include:
The heritage tour lasts approximately two hours, with a scheduled 15-minute break at the stadium’s M Café. During the tour you will walk almost 4,000 steps, so it is necessary to wear comfortable shoes.
We look forward to welcoming you to explore the history of our club and our region through the newest charm of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
