Craven Cottage is the home of a football stadium based just off the Fulham Palace Road which has been around since 1896. It measures 6.3 acres and has a capacity that has recently been increased to 26,600 people, with the highest Premiership home attendance of 25,357 fans for the 2-1 loss against Chelsea on 1st January 2008 in the West London Derby.

After the Hillsborough disaster, when many football clubs had to be converted into all-seaters to comply with new saftety laws, Fulham Foootball Club had to decamp to Loftus Road, home of local rivals Queens Park Rangers. During this time, many Fulham fans only went to away games in protest of moving from Craven Cottage. 'Back to the Cottage', later to become the 'Fulham Supporters Trust', was set up as a fans pressure group to encourage the chairman and his advisers that Craven Cottage was the only viable option for Fulham Football Club.

After one and a half seasons at Loftus Road no work had been done on the Cottage. Suddenly, a plan to partially redevelop the stadium sprung up, and the club were able to return to their home for the start of the 2004-05 season.

The stadium has one of the most picturesque settings in the British football, located next to Bishops Park on the banks of the River Thames and tours are available on Sundays with lunch included.
