We´re going to go from Natural History Museum to Satmford Bridge by
tube.
• The town of Stamford is situated 100 miles north of London, just off the A1, which was the old Great North Road leading to York and Edinburgh.
Captured in time by its conservation status this once major wool town has retained much of its old world charm and prosperity. Many of the buildings are constructed from old Lincolnshire limestone, hence the town's distinguished appearance and popularity with tourists and movie directors alike.
Despite a modest population of 18,000 the town boasts 11 churches, 30 pubs, 20 restaurants and over 10 quality hotels and guest houses. Most of the pubs serve Real Ale and are conveniently within walking distance of town centre, railway and bus stations.
• Stamford.co.uk, founded in 1996, is the town's longest established web site and following our 2004 refurbishment we hope to continue to bring Stamford to you and you to Stamford.
• Stamford Bridge is a football stadium in Fulham, in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, West London, that is home to Chelsea Football Club. The stadium is located within the Moore Park Estate also known as Walham Green and it is affectionately referred to as The Bridge. The capacity is 41,841, making it the eighth largest ground in the Premier League. KSS Design Group (architects) designed the complete redevelopment of Stamford Bridge Stadium and its hotels, megastore, offices and residential buildings.[3] Chelsea Football Club was created to make use of the stadium and they have played home games there for their entire 105 year history.
