Spurs’ new stadium

GCSE geographers are expected to understand why there are contrasts in different parts of cities in higher-income countries (HICs) and be able to assess the impacts of urban redevelopment programmes. This case study looks at how the new football stadium built for Tottenham Hotspur Football Club is impacting the local residents in north London.

In 2008, Northumberland Park, one of the most deprived wards in Haringey, became the site of a £400 million redevelopment project financed by Tottenham Hotspur Football Club (Spurs), which wanted to construct a new football stadium adjacent to its old site at White Hart Lane. The stadium, which was finally completed in 2019, will hold both football matches and American football (NFL) fixtures and has attracted £10 million of investment from the American Football League.

A condition of the stadium rebuild was that Spurs would fund significant redevelopment of the local area. This included building nearly 600 new homes, a supermarket, office space alongside the club headquarters, an extreme sports centre, a sixth-form college, and public open space with football pitches and space for cafes and market stalls.
