St James' Park is the home ground of Newcastle United, set above the city centre of Newcastle upon Tyne in north-east England. Its address is Strawberry Place, NE1 4ST, and it sits within easy walking distance of the city's station, so it is simple to reach on foot whether you arrive by train or are already exploring the centre.
What a visit offers
- A match day: Watching Newcastle United here means joining the club's supporters, known as the Toon Army, whose noise and loyalty are a large part of the ground's character.
- A stadium tour: For those who want to see the ground without a match, a tour lets you explore its history and learn more about the club.
Why go
The stadium is a clear draw for football fans, who will find it one of the more atmospheric grounds in English football. Even visitors with only a passing interest in the sport can enjoy the feel of the place, rising above the rooftops of the city centre. Allow time to walk around the surrounding streets before or after your visit, as the city centre has plenty to see and eat close by.
