The growth of a Premier League dominated by London Clubs
The addition of Fulham to the 20 team roster in the Premier League took the total of London based Premier League clubs to 7 for the 2022/23 season, highlighting the dominance of England’s capital within Europe’s most popular sporting league.
The football clubs in London attracting the most success
The ill-fated proposal of the European Super League in 2021 was both mis-guided and demonstrative of where the power clubs in Europe are located. London clubs Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea were included in plans to break away from the standard English and European structures to form their own league with 9 other power clubs from across Europe.
The Super League proposal was eventually fought off by a combination of fan power and government policy but the strength of England and in particular London football was laid bare for all to see.
As of January 2023, Chelsea have new owners and a swathe of new exciting players, Arsenal sit atop the Premier League table and Tottenham own arguably the best football stadium in Europe and one of the best managers in the game. All three teams have title winning aspirations and the bank balances to support it, whilst the other four London Premier League clubs Fulham, Crystal Palace, West Ham and Brentford each provide some of the best players and most exciting fixtures in the league.
