6 Must-Sees at the Emirates Stadium for Every Visiting Fan.

The captain-defender statue outside the North Bank end

The bronze statue of Tony Adams — Arsenal captain from 1988 to 2002, four-time First Division and Premier League title winner, three-time FA Cup winner, the centre-back who personified the late-Graham-and-Wenger-era Arsenal back four — was unveiled outside the North Bank entrance to the Emirates on 9 December 2011 alongside companion statues of Thierry Henry and Herbert Chapman. The Adams statue captures the iconic post-final-whistle salute moment from the 1998 title-clinching fixture against Everton at Highbury on 3 May 1998, with both arms raised in celebration. The sculptor was Sean Henry. The statue stands approximately three metres tall on a granite plinth and is a fixed point on the standard pre-match supporter walking route between the Arsenal tube station and the West Stand entrance. The recommended viewing time is mid-afternoon for a Saturday 3pm kick-off (the natural light angle is best from the south), and the statue is the most commonly photographed single feature of the Emirates exterior. The Adams statue carries a brief inscription summarising the captain's Arsenal career arc.

The all-time top scorer's celebration moment captured in bronze

The Thierry Henry statue, unveiled the same day as the Adams statue on 9 December 2011, is positioned in the south-east corner of the Emirates exterior, near the Clock End entrance. Sean Henry's bronze captures the iconic on-knees, both-arms-pointing-skyward celebration from Henry's goal against Tottenham at Highbury on 13 November 2002 in the Premier League fixture that ended 3-0 to Arsenal. The choice of celebration moment was deliberate — the Highbury north London derby goal carried both the personal-arc significance of Henry's mid-career peak and the wider Arsenal-versus-Tottenham heritage line that any visiting Arsenal supporter would recognise. Henry remains Arsenal's all-time leading goal scorer with 228 goals across all competitions over his two spells at the club (1999 to 2007 and a brief 2012 loan return from New York Red Bulls), four Premier League Golden Boots, the Invincibles 2003-04 unbeaten season as the front-line spearhead, and the Champions League final appearance in 2006 (lost to Barcelona in Paris). The statue has become a fixed pilgrimage point for Arsenal supporters of all generations, and the Clock End side of the exterior benefits from being the quieter walking route into the ground for supporters approaching from the Arsenal tube station.

The named-gates tribute to the Invincibles-era manager

The Arsene Wenger gates — the formally named entrance gates at the West Stand of the Emirates Stadium — were dedicated to the long-serving Arsenal manager in March 2018, marking the lead-up to Wenger's departure from the club at the end of the 2017-18 season after 22 years in charge from October 1996 to May 2018. The gates carry the Wenger inscription and a plaque summarising his Arsenal achievements: three Premier League titles (1997-98, 2001-02, 2003-04), seven FA Cups, the 2003-04 Invincibles unbeaten league season (still the only such achievement in 38-game Premier League history), and the longest single-manager tenure of the post-1992 Premier League era. Wenger's Arsenal teams played the football that gave the club its modern positional-and-passing identity, with the late-Highbury-era and early-Emirates-era squads producing some of the most consistently watchable football the Premier League has seen. The Wenger gates sit at the natural West Stand entry point used by Club Level members and Box Holders, but are visible from the public-facing concourse and are an essential photo stop for any visiting supporter.

The piece of Highbury preserved at the Emirates

An original brick from the demolished Highbury East Stand, preserved during the Highbury Square residential redevelopment that converted the listed Art Deco facades of the old ground into housing from 2006 onwards, sits on display within the Emirates Stadium tour route as the most directly tangible piece of Highbury heritage carried into the new ground. The Highbury heritage wall, located on the inner concourse of the West Stand, displays a curated set of Highbury memorabilia including the original Marble Halls bust of Herbert Chapman (the first manager to win the league championship with Arsenal, who died in office in January 1934), match programmes from the Bertie Mee, Don Howe, George Graham and Arsene Wenger eras, the 1971 double-winning team photographs, and a selection of historic Arsenal kits. The Highbury Square residential development itself, half a mile from the Emirates, retains the listed Art Deco East and West Stand facades and the central pitch area as a private garden — the site is a recommended add-on visit for any Arsenal supporter undertaking the Emirates Stadium tour. The clock from Highbury — the original Clock End clock — was preserved and reinstalled at the south end of the Emirates above the Clock End.

The most exclusive single hospitality product in English football

The Diamond Club is the highest tier of Emirates Stadium hospitality — a small invitation-only members club with the most exclusive in-stadium dining, a dedicated lounge with the most senior club access, and a fixed seat allocation in the East Stand on the directors' box mid-line. Membership is multi-year, allocated by waiting list, and is the most exclusive single hospitality product on offer at the ground; the published cost-per-seat-per-season runs into five figures and is rarely available outside the existing membership pool. The Diamond Club is not directly accessible to general-admission supporters, but the East Stand directors' box mid-line is visible from the upper tier of the West Stand opposite during any home fixture, and the dedicated entrance to the Diamond Club hospitality area on the East Stand exterior is signposted from the public-facing concourse. The companion mid-tier Tunnel Club, opened in 2017, is a chef-led tasting-menu hospitality package with views into the players' tunnel through one-way glass and a dedicated lower-tier seating allocation; the Tunnel Club is more accessible than the Diamond Club through the single-match hospitality booking route. The hospitality tiers at the Emirates collectively form one of the most comprehensive hospitality offers in the Premier League.

Arsenal's main retail store and the wall of heritage shirts

The Armoury — Arsenal Football Club's main retail store, housed adjacent to the West Stand entrance — is the largest single Premier League club retail outlet in London by floor area and is an essential matchday and non-matchday stop for any visiting supporter. The store carries the full current home, away and third kit ranges, training-wear, retro and heritage-shirt reissues, books, programmes, signed memorabilia and the standard club-souvenir lines. The heritage-shirt display on the upper floor walks the visitor through the evolution of the Arsenal kit from the 1886 founding-era Dial Square shirts through the iconic late-Highbury-era 1989 First Division title-winning kit, the 1991 First Division title-winning kit, the 1997-98 double-winning kit, the 2001-02 double-winning kit, the 2003-04 Invincibles kit, the 2014 FA Cup-winning kit and the post-Wenger era kits to date. The Armoury opens approximately three hours before kick-off on matchdays and remains open for around an hour after the final whistle, with non-matchday opening hours from approximately 09:00 to 18:00 daily. Queues at the Armoury back up substantially in the final 30 minutes before kick-off; the recommended visit time is at least 90 minutes before kick-off.
