Stand-by-stand breakdown
East Stand
⭐ Best view
Running parallel to the railway line, the East Stand gives one of the clearest, most elevated views in the ground — a straight sightline over the tunnel and both dugouts. It’s also the stadium’s hospitality hub, with several club lounges built in, which makes the crowd here a touch more reserved than the ends. A strong pick for a first visit or if you’re bringing family.
💡 Verdict: best blocks are the Lower Tier halfway-line sections and Upper Tier central blocks for a lower-priced elevated view.
West Stand
⭐ Best view
Mirrors the East Stand for view quality, with two extras: the home dugout and Directors’ Box sit here, and Box Level houses the exclusive Diamond Club. Lower Level seats put you right behind the bench — close enough to watch the warm-up routines before kick-off.
💡 Verdict: pick this side for the closest possible view of the home technical area, or the ground’s most premium seats.
North Bank
Best atmosphere
Arsenal’s loudest end and the spiritual successor to Highbury’s old North Bank. The Lower Tier blocks are where the noise peaks — expect to be on your feet for most of a big match. The trade-off is a flatter, closer-to-the-goal viewing angle rather than a panoramic one.
💡 Best for fans prioritising atmosphere over a perfect view — Lower Tier for maximum noise, Upper Tier for noise with more comfort and distance.
Clock End
⚠️ Check your block
Named after the clock that hung over Highbury’s South Stand, the Clock End is home to the Ashburton Army — a supporters’ group known for drumming and singing through the full 90 minutes. It’s genuinely one of the loudest parts of the ground. The catch: the Lower Tier corner is the away supporters’ allocation, and part of the Upper and Lower Tier is the Family Enclosure, so this is the one stand where your exact block matters more than the stand name.
💡 Verdict: great home atmosphere outside the away corner — double-check your block before booking here specifically.
Corner Sections
Budget option
The transitional zones between each stand — cheaper than the stand fronts, with a wider, more side-on angle on the pitch. Perfectly fine for a budget-conscious visit, but the two corners nearest the Clock End sit closest to the away allocation boundary, so it’s worth confirming your exact block before booking if that matters to you.
💡 Verdict: good value if the price gap is significant — just check the block number first.
⚡ Good to know before you book
Away fans sit in the Clock End Lower Tier corner. Family Enclosure areas are in Clock End Upper Tier and Lower Tier blocks. The stadium has 22 wheelchair viewing areas, most concentrated at the back of the Lower Tier. Main entrances are the North Bank Bridge, Clock End Bridge, or the stairs by the Armoury megastore — Clock End Bridge avoids the busiest congestion if you’re coming from Arsenal tube station.
