Upton Park (West Ham FC) ... runs north-south between the A118 Romford Road and the A124 Barking Road. Green Street is part of the boundary between the former County Boroughs of East Ham and West Ham and contains a large number of shops, both major chain stores as well as locally-owned shops, Upton Park Library, and Queens Road Market, a covered food and clothing market. Many shops and market stalls specifically cater for east London's large Asian community. Upton Park tube station is also on Green Street, close to the market. Plans to demolish the market and replace it with a large supermarket, luxury apartments and a smaller indoor market have been vigorously resisted by market traders and large sections of the local community through the Friends of Queens Market.Newest Review: ... Stadium and Eating ~~ The stadium in my view looks superb as you enter the main entrance you're greeted with these huge towers and the stadium just looks amazing. As you walk around you see the stadium store which is there and on match day this place was packed to the rim. You had the executive section where fans were allowed to go and see the owners show up in there rather posh Bentley's so ... more
... it was a nice touch as you enter the stadium. The ticket office was a bit poor to be honest very outdated in appearance.
The turnstiles are very modern you just use the barcode on your ticket to enter and this opens the gate, you're unable to take b...moreCustomer Upton Park (West Ham FC) Reviews (6)

Football is my favourite sport in the world so when I can I love to go and watch it live with a friend of mine who supports Nottingham Forest. This season I went to my first game ever at Upton Park I thought it might be nice to share my experiences and what I found when I was there. ~~ Who are West Ham United? ~~ West Ham United are perhaps one of the biggest clubs in the United Kingdom who believe playing football on the floor rather than kicking it in the air all the time is the best route to success. They have won some FA Cup trophies but never anything major in Europe which is a huge shame for such a big team. In the past West Ham ... Read the complete review

Upton Park or the Boleyn Ground? Before my visit I was completely oblivious to the ground being called the Boleyn Ground as most people and the media call it Upton Park. After leaving the train station you can see the ground is located in a fairly run down area of London with a lot of small shops. The walk to the away end was particularly unpleasant, where we were sent down some small alleyway by the police, good job it was the middle of the day. Outside the ground it is a decent space with there being just about enough room for a few key facilities inside. There were enough pubs around for both sets of fans to be selective and be under control and happy. The ... Read the complete review

Are plans for an 80,000 seater stadium in Stratford really gonna help West Ham reach the holy grail status of becoming one of the 'big 6'? At the moment you couldn't get 800 people to watch that rag-tag bunch of rabble, let alone the projected 80,000. And all so we can help the Great British Olympic Bid for 2000 and something. Let's stay at the Boleyn, with its square pitch and morgue-like atmosphere. So we're having extra tiers put onto one of the stands - big deal, just so another 3,000 fans can pay up to £40 a game and then just sit back mute with their arms folded... Nothing's ever dull at The Hammers though, eh?!? ... Read the complete review

It's a popular misconception that West Ham United play at Upton Park. Correction due. They play at the Boleyn Ground, which happens to be in Upton Park. It's one of those silly things that annoy me, but it's like people who mis-pronounce names, I can't help but correct them. Upton Park is an area in West Ham, East London. The ground itself is situated just off the Barking High Road or Romford Road, and the main gates are down Green Street. This is the entrance to the West Stand, and the entrance to the East Stand, where the infamous Chicken Run is, can be found after a wander down Priory Road. The ground is definitely due for it's ...

Im not sure if this is true any more due to the different teams that are now in the premiership but Upton Park used to be the smallest Premiership ground in the country. If you have ever been there as a travelling fan, you will know that the ground surroundings are not that pleasant. Its basically surrounded with run down shops and fast food premises. The area is untidy with a lot of rubbish around. There is a Tub station roughly 5 minutes walk from the ground so its probably best to park away form the ground and get a tube in. The local pubs are dominated by "appy 'Ammers" fans with their most famous pub being the Anne Boleyn. This is a ... Read the complete review
