Eight attractions at Allianz Stadium that only insiders get to see

London is a playground for those wanting to explore, discover and create unforgettable memories. But unbeknown to many, one of the capital’s most exclusive attractions is hidden in an unassuming venue in the southwest area of the capital – Allianz Stadium, Twickenham. From behind-the-scenes tours to opportunities to meet celebrity chefs and professional athletes, Allianz Stadium offers a wealth of experiences reserved exclusively for those in the know. These are just some of them…

1. Discover the different venue options 
Whether you’re looking to see and be seen in a sophisticated setting or prefer a more laidback, convivial atmosphere, the hospitality options at Allianz Stadium cater for all preferences and budgets. Enter the East Wing from a private lift and be transported to the height of luxury – concierge service, exceptional fine dining and celeb spotting all give off that private members’ club feel. Fancy yourself a foodie? Champion of British cuisine Tom Kerridge is waiting at The Lock to deliver reimagined flavours from across the British Isles. Looking for something a little less buttoned-up? The Gate is a traditional chophouse where juicy steaks and post-match pints go hand-in-hand, while the Allianz Suite’s easy-going environment makes is ideal spot for discussing the upcoming match with mates. 

2. Party it up at the British Airways Rose Garden 
For a more casual affair, head to the British Airways Rose Garden, where you’ll be greeted by exciting street food stations, all-inclusive bars, live bands playing crowd favourites, and a festive vibe pulsating throughout the rooftop venue. Move to the beat in this garden oasis and enjoy views over the London skyline while cheering England to victory.

3. Explore the museum
The World Rugby Museum is an absolute mecca for any sport fanatic. With more than 40,000 artefacts and an ever-changing rota of exhibitions, it’s the biggest hub for rugby memorabilia anywhere in the world. Put your skills to the test at the Play Rugby Interactive Zone, where great games will challenge your speed, agility and rugby knowledge, guaranteeing fun for all ages.

4. Engage with rugby legends
Get up close and personal with some of the biggest names in the game as they pop in to meet fans across the different hospitality venues on match days. Keep your cameras at the ready to ensure you snap those share-worthy selfies. The likes of Courtney Lawes, Sarah Hunter and Ben Youngs have all been spotted at the stadium chatting with guests and sitting in on official pre- and post-match Q&A session.

5. Get married – pitch-side 
Finding a wedding venue that has everything you need is one thing, but said venue plus pitch-side access is another. Allianz Stadium, Twickenham brings unrivalled grandeur steeped in sporting history, from intimate receptions to big, buzzy bashes. Add award-winning in-house catering overseen by executive head chef Shaun Lawson (tasting sessions included), and you’re looking at the celebration of the year for the couple of the century.

6. Meet award-winning chefs 
They’ve graced your screens on shows such as Bake Off: The Professionals and Great British Menu and have multiple Michelin stars under their belts – now you can find them cooking up a storm at Allianz Stadium. For this year’s Quilter Nation Series, top chefs Tom Kerridge, Ollie Dabbous and Tommy Banks will be delivering high-octane menus throughout the stadium’s hospitality venues and will be on site so that diners will have the chance to rub shoulders with their culinary heroes. 

7. Tour the stadium
Visiting on a non-match day? There’s still lots of excitement to be had at Allianz Stadium, especially if you nab yourself a backstage pass to get insider access to one of the world’s most historic sporting venues. Step into the shoes of rugby greats as you march through the Players’ Tunnel, sit inside the England Changing Room or even book a special tour with an England legend as your guide.

8. Celebrate in sporting style
Whether you’re toasting a personal milestone or promotion or organising the ultimate summer social, Allianz Stadium, Twickenham has 34 unique spaces available for hire. Enjoy a decadent dinner at the Twickenham Cellar amid rustic and regal interiors, or host a conference featuring live music at the multi-purpose auditorium. For a garden-themed get-together, there’s the lively rooftop terrace (cue the pizza ovens), or go ultra unique and host a drinks reception inside the England Changing Rooms.
