Highbury

Arsenal's former home

Highbury is a district in north London, historically known as the home of Arsenal Football Club from 1913 to 2006.

The name often refers specifically to Arsenal Stadium itself: Arsenal dominated at Highbury for decades.

Since the club's move to Emirates Stadium, Highbury remains shorthand for Arsenal's traditional identity and playing style among football supporters.
