Twickenham Stadium is the largest rugby union stadium in the United Kingdom, seating 82,000 and the second largest stadium of any kind after Wembley Stadium. The stadium is the home of the Rugby Football Union (RFU) and hosts England's home test matches as well as the Middlesex Sevens, the Guinness Premiership final, the EDF Energy Cup and Heineken Cup matches. The stadium is an icon of English rugby. The RFU releases 200 pairs of tickets to local residents for each England rugby game through their website. If you are thirsty, each corner of the Stadium has a large bar, and there are many smaller bars on each level inside the Stadium. The food outlets are located around the Stadium concourse. There are lots of good pubs near Twickenham Stadium, visit our page on pubs for more info.		Of course Twickenham Stadium is also used for concerts - recently artists such as The Police, Rod Stewart, Genesis, Iron Maiden, Bon Jovi, REM and U2 have played at Twickenham. The RFU releases 1,100 discounted tickets to local residents for each concert through their website - usually advertised in the free magazine that they send to residents every season. It's also worth noting that the RFU maintains a consistently high level of security around Twickenham Stadium. With consultation with the police, security at the stadium remains high and people, bags and vehicles will be subject to search upon arrival.

England have fought off rival bids from South Africa and Italy to win the right to stage the 2015 Rugby World Cup between 4 September and 17 October 2015. As well as bringing an estimated £2.1bn in economic benefits to the British economy, Englands package is projected to generate £300m for the International Rugby Board. Prime Minister Gordon Brown said it was a "fantastic achievement" to win the bid and congratulated the RFU on their success. "The Rugby World Cup is yet another tremendous event to add to the country's decade of sport and another chance to show our nation's passion for sport and what world class facilities we have to offer. I'm sure it will be a tournament to remember," said Brown. >> Hotels in the Twickenham and Richmond area >> The Rugby Store in Twickenham >> Corporate hospitality at Twickenham Stadium >> Twickenham - our page devoted to Twickenham! >> The best pubs near Twickenham stadium
