Nestled at the southern end of Tottenham’s shiny new stadium sits a shopper’s paradise – the Tottenham Experience. It’s not just any old club shop, mind you. This place is the biggest football club store in all of Europe! Let’s take a closer look at what makes this shop so special.
Size and Features
- Massive 23,000 square foot space
- 36-screen video wall (imagine watching match highlights on that!)
- 100-seat auditorium for special events and appearances
A Blend of Old and New
The shop is housed in Warmington House, a building with some serious history. Built way back in 1910, it used to be a medical center for locals before the NHS came along. The club’s done a brilliant job of keeping the old facade looking spick and span, while kitting out the inside with all the modern bells and whistles.
What Can You Buy?
- Latest Spurs kits (get your name printed right there in the store!)
- Tons of official Tottenham merch
- Special items for non-football events at the stadium
Opening Hours
- Monday to Saturday: 9:30 AM – 5:30 PM
- Sundays (no match): 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Accessibility
The store’s designers didn’t forget about making sure everyone can enjoy shopping here. They’ve gone above and beyond to make it easy for folks with all sorts of needs:
- Wheelchair friendly
- Features for people with visual or hearing impairments
- Special changing room for those needing extra space or assistance
Award-Winning Design
All that hard work paid off – the Tottenham Experience bagged the “Best Inclusive Building” award at the 2019 LABC Building Excellence Awards. The judges were well chuffed with how the designers made sure everyone could use the space easily and comfortably.
More Than Just Shopping
The Tottenham Experience isn’t just about buying stuff. It’s a place where fans can soak up the atmosphere before and after matches. The auditorium hosts all sorts of events, from player meet-and-greets to special promotions for early birds and those who stick around after the final whistle.
