The sports venues I'll happily let interrupt a good book for, mapped out by how much transport faff I'm willing to tolerate to get there. Spoiler: quite a lot, if the ground's good enough.

Vale a pena a caminhada até o local. — 10 items
Name	Address	City	Why
1Wembley Stadium	Wembley, London HA9 0WS	London	An Overground-and-a-bit trek, but the walk down Olympic Way still gives me goosebumps every single time.
2Emirates Stadium	75 Drayton Park, London N5 1BU	London	Piccadilly line straight there, which is honestly more reliable than Arsenal's away form some seasons.
3Stamford Bridge	Fulham Road, London SW6 1HS	London	Fulham Broadway spits you out right at the turnstiles, dangerously convenient for a swift post-match pint.
4Lord's Cricket Ground	St John's Wood Road, London NW8 8QN	London	The home of cricket, and the only ground where I've queued longer for the scorecard than the loo.
5All England Lawn Tennis Club	Church Road, London SW19 5AE	London	Two weeks a year London stops discussing bus routes and just talks tiebreaks; I still queue like everyone else.
6The Kia Oval	Kennington Oval, London SE11 5SS	London	Vauxhall's a short walk with three rail lines nearby, so there's genuinely no excuse for missing a session.
7Twickenham Stadium	200 Whitton Road, Twickenham TW2 7BA	London	Feels like a whole separate postcode of its own, but the rugby atmosphere makes the trek west worth it.
8Copper Box Arena	Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London E20 3HB	London	Tucked into the Olympic Park, this is where I go for netball and handball I didn't know I needed.
9Lee Valley VeloPark	Abercrombie Road, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London E20 3AB	London	Same park, different discipline; watching the track cycling here still feels like 2012 never quite ended.
10The O2	Peninsula Square, London SE10 0DX	London	Jubilee line to North Greenwich, then basketball or boxing under the same dome as half of pop culture.
