Selhurst Park
Crystal Palace's home since 1924 — a four-sided South London ground where one end of seats sits on a supermarket roof.

Old-school English football, not a modern bowl: designed by Archibald Leitch and opened in 1924, with four unmatched stands that each went up in a different era. Crystal Palace have played here for a century.
What to look for
- The Whitehorse Lane end: executive boxes built in 1991 on the roof of a Sainsbury's, after the club sold the land behind the terrace in 1981.
- The Main Stand — the original 1924 structure by Archibald Leitch, opened by the Lord Mayor of London.
- The Holmesdale Road Stand (built 1994), the newest side and the preferred stand for Crystal Palace supporters.
It's in Selhurst (SE25), south of central London, with a capacity of only about 25,194 — book match tickets well ahead.
