The Den

History

The Den (previously The New Den) is a football stadium in the New Cross and Bermondsey area of south-east London, and the home of Millwall Football Club. The Den is adjacent to the South London railway originating at London Bridge, and a quarter-of-a-mile from the Old Den, which it replaced on September 30, 1993. Built on a previous site of housing, a church and the Senegal Fields playgrounds, the Den has an all-seated capacity of 20,146, although segregation of visiting supporters and crowd safety measures have historically reduced the usable capacity, to approximately 18,100 in 2013. The Den is the sixth stadium that Millwall have occupied since their formation in the Millwall area of the Isle of Dogs in 1885.
