Between 1904 and 2016, West Ham United played at the Boleyn Ground (known by a lot of fans as Upton Park, which was also the name of the nearest tube station), which had an all seater capacity of 35,647.

In 2016, it relocated to what had been the London Olympics main stadium in Stratford, renamed the London Stadium, with a seating capacity of around 57,000 for football matches.
