|
|
 |
|
Twickenham Stadium
is the largest rugby union stadium in the United
Kingdom, seating 82,000 and the second largest
stadium in the UK after
Wembley Stadium and one of the key venues for the 2015 Rugby World Cup. |
|
Twickenham stadium is a great venue for music, and the RFU
reserves 1,100 tickets for each concert at a 15%
discount to residents living in TW1, TW2, TW3 and TW7 -
presumably to say "thanks" for causing regular chaos
with thousands of residents in the area.

Twickenham Green
is the surviving fragment of the eastern section of old
common lands called Hounslow Heath. During the
summer there are regular cricket matches, and it's
claimed that in 1905 England's greatest ever cricketer,
WG Grace, played on Twickenham Green!
