Tottenham proudly welcomed His Majesty King Charles III to N17 on an official visit to celebrate the positive socio-economic impact of the Club on its local area.
In addition to providing a world-class home for the Football Club and a wide range of major events, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is driving the regeneration of one of the capital’s most deprived areas.
An in-depth analysis carried out by Ernst & Young in 2023 revealed an increase in nearly £200m Gross Value Added (GVA) and nearly 2,000 additional jobs supported per annum across a tri-borough area of Haringey, Enfield and Waltham Forest as a direct result of the stadium’s events and activities, compared to an equivalent report commissioned in 2015 while the Club played at its old White Hart Lane home.
On arrival, His Majesty was greeted by Club Chairman, Daniel Levy, Tottenham Hotspur Foundation Chair of Trustees, Donna-Maria Cullen and MP for Tottenham, David Lammy, alongside local civic dignitaries, before being introduced to number of community groups and local residents that have benefitted from the delivery of the stadium.
His Majesty observed a session of The Huddle Project a unique collaboration between Tottenham Hotspur Foundation, NFL Foundation and Nike that sees football and flag football, alongside wellbeing activities, delivered to 11-18 year olds throughout the Tottenham area – taking place on the stadium pitch.
