Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium
Home to the Queens Park Rangers—one of London’s popular, homegrown football (soccer) teams—Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium is a sporting highlight in Shepherd’s Bush, West London. It’s also a historical landmark: the stadium was built more than a century ago, in 1904, and has hosted the team on and off since 1917.
The Basics
Founded in 1886, the Queens Park Rangers (or QPR) played for years in their namesake area of Queens Park before migrating to what is now known as Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium in 1917 (it was formerly known as Loftus Road Stadium). The team—which currently plays in the second-tier, Championship level of English football—are beloved by many West Londoners, and flocks of fans wearing the team's trademark blue and white colors often fill the stadium. Loftus Road seats 18,439, and its smaller scale means spectators sit close to the action.
Tickets to QPR games at Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium can be booked in advance, and the venue offers an accessible way to experience a classic London football game.
Things to Know Before You Go
The stadium offers discounted entry to disabled supporters, free tickets for caregivers, and spaces for wheelchair users.
For those looking to pick up merchandise, the stadium hosts a QPR Superstore, located on the South Africa Road side.
Four teams play at Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium: the first team, women’s, under-23s, and under-18s.
Advance tickets can be purchased online, by phone, or at the box office.

The Future of Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium
Amidst team complaints about the stadium’s small size and lack of profitability, it’s possible that the Queens Park Rangers will move on from Loftus Road in the years to come. Talks about the team’s next home remain undetermined, but it’s worth planning a visit to the stadium while you have the chance.
