Millwall Stadium Address – How to get to The Den from Central London

Millwall Double Decker Bus

When you first arrive at the Den, you’ll see the iconic blue Millwall double decker bus.  As a matter of fact, this is parked outside the stadium and you don’t need to take a Millwall stadium tour to photograph it.  Nevertheless, as you’re at the stadium, you may as well take the tour or check out the club shop.  The text on the side of the bus reads ‘Let ’em all come down to the Den’.

Home Team Dressing Room

One of the first things you’ll notice when you enter the stadium are images of lions everywhere.  Millwall gained the nickname back in 1899 when they beat favorites Aston Villa in the FA Cup.  The media called them, the lions of the south which eventually became the lions.  Before, they were nicknamed the dockers as many of their fans would load and unload ships.  When you visit the home team dressing room, there will be all the players shirts on display.  You’ll be able to take your picture with your favorite players shirt.  As well as the lush changing rooms, there are some excellent shower, massage and warm up facilities in these dressing rooms.  The away team however, do not have access to these facilities.

Away Team Dressing Room

The away team dressing rooms are small, plain, uninspiring with small bathroom facilities.  Millwall FC have an excellent home advantage even before their loyal fans intimidate the away team on the pitch!

Players Tunnel

As you walk down the players tunnel you know exactly which team you’re playing against.  The Millwall logos and lions are all on the players minds even before they reach the pitch with 20,000 Millwall fans chanting.  As part of the tour, you can take the famous walk down the players tunnel.

Pitchside and Dugout

On the Millwall stadium tour you’ll visit pitch side as well as the dugouts.  You’re welcome to take your photo in the managers seat.  Another good location for a photo is with ‘The Den’ logo in the background.  Famous managers who have used these dugouts include, Mick Mccarthy, Dennis Wise.  Another interesting fact is that Claudio Ranieri sat here in what would be his last match in charge of Leicester City.

Millwall FC Ground – The Den

The Den has a capacity of over 20,000 seats.  An interesting fact is that this was the first all seater stadium to be built in England after the Hillsborough disaster.  Before this, stadiums could have standing areas.  The south stand is called the dockers stand in honor of their historic roots with London dockers.  There’s also a Barry Kitchener stand named after the Millwall legend from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s.  I think a photo with the iconic ‘The Den’ logo in the background makes an excellent memory of your Millwall stadium tour.  Even more so if you’re wearing a Millwall FC shirt.

A Stadium with a View

One of the most popular landmarks in London is the Shard.  From the Millwall stadium you can see the Shard.  This shows how close the stadium is to central London.  As a matter of fact, the Shard looks better from a distance, so you enjoy the view!

Millwall Stadium Tour VIP Suite

If you watch a Millwall football match as a VIP supporter, you’ll gain access to the VIP suite as well as the best seats in the stadium.  On the Millwall stadium tour, you can visit the VIP suite and have a feel of this experience.  Be sure to look down as the carpet is a customised blue Millwall carpet which features the iconic lions.

Millwall FC History

In the VIP lounge is a huge board showing the history of Millwall FC.  In fact, I would say this is as close to a Millwall FC museum as you will get.  For those diehard Millwall fans, there’s a lot to learn about the history of Millwall.

Millwall FC Club Shop

If you take the stadium tours of the big English football teams you may find the club shop on the expensive side.  The Millwall Lions Store however, offers excellent value Millwall merchandise which is an extra reason to check out the store.  You could even buy some merchandise to wear during your  tour, this would really enhance your Millwall stadium tour photos!

Enjoy your Millwall Stadium Tour

Enjoy your Millwall stadium tour, home of one of the most iconic and historic English football teams.  You’re guaranteed a more personal and fun stadium tour here in comparison to the big London teams and stadiums.  Visit the  Millwall FC website for contact information.

Take a  West Ham stadium tour , Millwall’s biggest rivals.  Alternatively, visit Wembley , home of the England football team.

The Den , sometimes referred to as The New Den , is the 20,146 capacity home ground of the infamous Millwall Football Club.

Located in the South Bermondsey area of South-East London, the stadium opened back in 1993 at an estimated cost of £16 million.

Millwall Stadium Guide

The den history.

The Den was the first stadium to be built in the aftermath of the Hillsborough Disaster and subsequent publication of the Taylor Report in 1990. The previous stadium, known as The Old Den had  previously been home to the club for over 83 years, however the costs of redevelopment weren’t deemed to be unfeasible by Chairman Reg Burr.

Originally the club announced plans to construct a new 25,000-30,000 capacity stadium within the Senegal Fields area, however the club couldn’t acquire the requisite funding, and had to scale down their new plans slightly.

Identifying a patch of land less than a quarter of a mile away from the original ground within South Bermondsey, the club quickly gained planing permission and construction began shortly after in 1991.

Costing an estimated £16 million upon opening, the inaugural fixture was held on 4th August 1993 against Portuguese giants Sporting Lisbon with the opening ceremony conducted by MP John Smith, who at the time was the leader of the Labour Party.

As the first new football ground to be built in London since 1937, and an example of urban generation, the leader of the opposition didn’t of course miss the opportunity to score a few points with the public.

Millwall’s new stadium was initially known as The New Den, to distinguish it from The Old Den however having been opened now for nearly 25 years now, fans usually just refer to it as The Den.

Whilst the new stadium has failed to propel Millwall to the heights of Premier League, the club did make an appearance at the Millennium Stadium for the 2004 FA Cup Final, although The Lions were predictably outclassed by Manchester United .

With the average attendance generally around 50% of the ground’s capacity there are currently no plans to expand the stadium, although if the club should ever wish to do so then the corners could easily be filled in.

Millwall F.C. Info

The den seating plan.

Below is a seating plan of Millwall's The Den:

Stand Photos

Millwall’s ground is comprised of the following four sections: North, The Dockers Stand (East), The Cold Blow Lane Stand (South), and The Barry Kitchener Stand (West).

Click the thumbnails above to enlarge an image of each stand and to read a more detailed description of each part of the Stadium.

Matchday Experience

The den away end.

“Millwall Away”. The two words which used to strike fear into the heart of every football fan in England.

Thankfully a lot has changed since the 1980s and football fans can now safely attend a match at The Den without getting their head caved in with a brick. The legacy of Millwall and its “naughty” supporters lives on however with the Metropolitan Police still opting to dispatch large amounts of “old bill” to the ground.

This however works out well and ensures that The Den is almost as hospitable to visiting fans as every other away ground in England.

Away fans usually have the 4,000 or so capacity North Stand to themselves, however the typical allocation of tickets restricts the visiting supporters to the second-tier which arguably results in better views of the action.

Like the area of the ground itself, the concourse is pretty much a no-thrills affair with unadulterated concrete the backdrop of choice for everything ranging from the kiosks to the toilets.

Best Pubs near ground

There really aren’t any pubs around Millwall’s Den according to local listings, and any which are, are unlikely to be suitable for visiting supporters.

This means that traveling supporters have the option of either drinking exclusively inside the stadium or going for a few beverages at London Bridge Station which is where the connecting train is for most fans.

One of the more popular options for those seeking a pub with a bit of character is The Shiprights Arms on Tooley Street which boasts of having an “original shipwrights mural”, with the 17th century George Inn another candidate, as is The Slug and Lettuce chain pub both of which are on Borough High street.

Food - Places to eat

Again, pretty much the same as above applies to the food section. Built up in an area which is far from commercialised, there aren’t a ton of option with Greggs and Reema Fish & Chips the best bet outside South Bermondsey Station.

London Bridge on other hand pretty much has a lot more choice, with a slight bias towards sit-down restaurants rather than fast food joints.

Millwall Club Shop

The club store at the Den is known as the Lions Store and was recently refurbished at the beginning of the 2012/2013 season to give it a more contemporary feel. The new store stocks an excellent range of Millwall Merchandise, and is second only to the club’s official online store .

The opening times are as follows:

• Monday – Saturday: 9.00 am – 5.00 pm
• Sundays: 10.00 am – 4.00 pm
• Matchdays: a few hours before kick-off

How to get to The Den

Where is the den.

The Den is located South East of the capital adjacent to the railway line serving London Bridge, within the South Bermondsey – London Borough of Southwark.

The Den’s Stadium Address for satnav is as follows:

• Zampa Road, London, SE16 3LN.

Located in East London, Millwall Football Club are pressed for space and as a result there are no club owned parking facilities for supporters located at The New Den.

Fans are instead recommended to travel by rail or official coach of the visiting team.

Train - Public Transport

South Bermondsey railway station is located exactly half a mile from The Den which will take the average fan less than 10 minutes on foot. Exit the station on Ilderton Road turning left and following this road as it bends round until you can turn left onto Zampa Road which will take you under the tracks through the tunnel to Millwall’s Ground.

London Underground

The Den isn’t really served by a tube station with Surrey Quays on the orange London Overground Line 1 mile away (20 minutes) and Bermondsey on the silver Jubilee Line 1.2 miles (25 minutes) being the two closest stops.

By all means you can travel to these stops and walk but South Bermondsey overground station is the easiest route for most.

Public Transport of The Den

Hotels Near The Den

Located in an old industrial area which is yet to under go lots of gentrification there aren’t any hotels near to The Den. Your best is to hop on the train at South Bermondsey to London Bridge.

Although expensive there is a lot choice such as Premier Inn Southwark, The Bermondsey Square Hotel and Holiday Inn Express.

Remember that you are in London and once you get the overground to London Bridge you can practically get the tube anywhere.
