Haringey Council

On Saturday 15 November, the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will host the Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn rematch fight.

Following feedback received from residents and local businesses after their original match in April 2025, we have worked closely with the stadium and transport partners to develop a stronger strategy for managing the event.

We will be implementing a number of measures to protect local residents and businesses, minimise disruption, and to keep traffic flowing by reducing the number of cars that will travel into the area.

Keeping our streets clean and safe is also a priority. The Club has doubled the number of temporary toilets installed across the local area, and an enhanced street cleansing operation will take place following the event.

CPZ extension

The Tottenham Event Day CPZ will be extended on the day to 11.59pm to an increased number of CPZs up to 1.5 miles from the stadium. The affected CPZs are:

• Bruce Castle CPZ (BC)

• Bruce Grove North CPZ (BGN)

• Northumberland Park West CPZ (NPW)

• The Hale CPZ (TH)

• Tottenham Event Day CPZ (TED)

• Tottenham Hale North CPZ (THN)

• Tottenham Hale North Event Day CPZ (THNED)

• Tottenham North CPZ (TN)

• Tower Gardens CPZ (TG)

• Tower Gardens Event Day CPZ (TGED)

This is in place to prevent event attendees from driving and parking in local roads to minimise disruption to residents and businesses.

We will have an enhanced enforcement operation in place for the entirety of the CPZ operating hours, including tow trucks to remove vehicles parked illegally.

Other road and traffic measures

As usual, a number of roads closest to the stadium will need to close before, during and after the event to make it safe for visitors, residents and businesses, and to help maintain emergency access to the area. You can find the details here: https://haringey.gov.uk/parking/where-you-can-park-haringey/tottenham-h…

Road closures will be in operation from 6.00pm until midnight and parking suspensions will be in operation from 3.00pm.

The Stadium have sent messages out to all ticket holders to discourage driving and to highlight other transport options, including the tube. Therefore, please plan your journey accordingly as local tube stations are likely to be busy.

Tottenham Hotspur proudly welcomed His Majesty King Charles III 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.

Headline figures include:

£344m GVA (£296m in Haringey specifically), in comparison to the £120m GVA per annum being generated in 2015

£1.2bn of investment in the stadium and surrounding area to date – the largest private sector investment in Haringey

An estimation that the Club’s socio-economic impact will continue to grow in the years to come, with an estimated £585m GVA and 4,300 jobs supported during the 2026/27 season

Alongside this, Tottenham Hotspur Foundation – the Club’s official charitable body – delivers a wide range of free, innovative programmes every day to engage some of our community’s most vulnerable groups, including children in care, those leaving the criminal justice system, students at risk of exclusion and residents recovering from serious illness, generating £19 million of social value for Haringey, Enfield and surrounding London boroughs.

On arrival, His Majesty was greeted by Club Chairman, Daniel Levy, Tottenham Hotspur Foundation Chair of Trustees, Donna-Maria Cullen, MP for Tottenham, David Lammy, Haringey Council Leader, Cllr Peray Ahmet and Mayor of Haringey, Cllr Sue Jameson, before being introduced to number of community groups and local residents that have benefitted from the opportunities provided through the delivery of the stadium.

These include students from the London Academy of Excellence (LAET) – a state-funded Sixth Form located on the stadium campus and co-sponsored by the Club, sending local students from disadvantaged backgrounds to the country’s top Universities - in addition to local businesses that have seen increased footfall and economic activity thanks to the wide range of major events now arriving in N17.

His Majesty was then introduced to the Club’s Men’s and Women’s team captains – Heung-Min Son and Bethany England – Efe Obada, British-Nigerian NFL player of the Washington Commanders and Phoebe Schecter, GB Women’s Flag Football team captain, who escorted him out of the players’ tunnel to a special Tottenham welcome from an audience of local school students gathered in the stands.

From pitchside, 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.

After meeting with project participants, His Majesty was presented with commemorative gifts by both the Club and NFL - a replica of the Club’s historic original golden cockerel statue and a ball from the NFL London Games.

Before departing the stadium, His Majesty observed a kit design workshop for local students, led by Nike - demonstrating the employment and skills aspect of The Huddle Project – and met with local young people who have gained employment as a result of the stadium, with the help of Tottenham Hotspur Foundation.

Come On You Spurs!

The familiar cry of COYS echoes around Tottenham on match days (and no doubt in many homes around the world!). No football club can exist without its fans. The Tottenham Hotspur Supporters’ Trust (THST) have been very active in the community, most recently commissioning and part-funding with the help of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club the mural of ex-Spurs player Ledley King.

Here are some more stories about special fans and the things they love!

Spurs in Paint: Charles Holman

One of the most atmospheric paintings of fans attending a match day at the old Spurs Stadium was captured by Hornsey artist Charles Holman (1919 – 2008). Looking along Park Lane to the Stadium, it shows the popular Corner Pin pub which gave the painting its name. Charles likely painted this view not long after he graduated from Hornsey College of Art in 1953. You can read more about Charles’ life here and see his artwork, now part of Bruce Castle Museum and Archive.

The Corner Pin became the Spurs Ticket Office in 2010. More recently it has been converted back to a pub – The Beavertown Corner Pin, blending old heritage with new craft beer. You can find the Corner Pin and other sites on the Tottenham Hotspur Heritage Trail.

One of Europe’s Greatest Sports Illustrator: Paul Trevillion

The year 1934 witnessed the birth of a young boy at number 109 Love Lane in Tottenham. He exceeded all expectations of his poor education. Paul Trevillion surprised his teachers at St Francis de Sale School with his talent for drawing. Having seen Tottenham Hotspur play before he could even walk, his love for drawing and football saw Paul rise to become one of Europe’s most successful sports illustrators.

Drawing caricatures of his Spurs’ heroes, he went on to illustrate for the ‘Eagle’, Barratt’s sweets in Wood Green and the football comic ‘Roy of the Rovers’. From the 2000s he drew the game ‘You Are The Ref’ for The Observer newspaper. At one point Paul was even entertaining the crowds behind the cockerel costume of the mascots Tott and Ham!

At 90 years old Paul is still drawing and writing books! Find out more about the remarkable talent, professional life and art of Paul Trevillion.

The Spurs Opus and the Spurs Clock

When fans come to Bruce Castle Museum and Archive to book in and see the giant Spurs Opus book, staff get a fair bit of weight-lifting experience. The Opus is a giant, weighing in at 37 kilos (with 850 pages and 2,000 images) – a great heavyweight book of history for collectors of one of the top football clubs in the world. See more about the Official Tottenham Hotspur Opus.

In much the same way as fans come and see the Spurs Opus, there are many more who come to see the ‘Spurs’ clock – it has become part of the pilgrimage for fans. Read more about this special (and giant) clock – one of the gallery highlights at Bruce Castle. Its original owner Billy Mudge (whose home and business premises are highlighted on the Tottenham Hotspur Trail). was one of the most fervent and eccentric fans of Spurs in its early years. You can also find out all about his antics driving the Directors of Spurs to a matchday (he was one of Tottenham’s first motorists!).

The HMS Hotspur

The ship HMS Hotspur was adopted by the people of Tottenham during World War 2. Locals started to raise money during Warship Week in 1942, with a target of £750,000! The cost of the ship was finally paid for in 1948 when the ship was decommissioned. Because of this - and of course the name Hotspur being that of the local football club - the bell was presented to the borough of Tottenham after the War by way of recognition to their fundraising for the war effort. In turn put the bell was transferred to the borough's museum at Bruce Castle – where it can still be seen today.

The bell has HMS Hotspur 1936 inscribed on it. The ship was already known as the Hotspur and this was the reason why Tottenham adopted it.
