The ground has been Allianz Stadium since September 2024, and the RFU write it "Allianz Stadium, Twickenham" in their fixture and ticketing material. Twickenham now survives mainly as geography — in the postal district, in the legacy asset filenames the maps below still carry, and in the domain itself. Almost no stadium site has caught up with the change, which is why this page leads with the old name and states the new one immediately.
L1 to L36 below, M blocks above, and nothing that joins them
The block prefix tells you the tier. Level 2, the lower tier, runs L1 to L36 — a single unbroken family of thirty-six blocks around the bowl. Level 4, the middle tier, prefixes its blocks M, with M5, M6, M7, M8, M13, M15, M24/25, M26/27, M32, M46, M48 and M50 all confirmed on the published maps. The paired numbers are not a typo: some M blocks are labelled across two numbers on the RFU's own drawings.
Level 4 also carries a second, parallel scheme keyed to the stand rather than the tier. The East stand runs E1 to E29, the West W1 to W25, the North N5 to N20, and the South just S1 and S2. So a Level 4 ticket may name an M block or a stand-lettered one, and the two systems coexist on the same deck. Levels 1 through 5 all exist and the maps navigate between them.
Now the part that matters more than the list. The RFU publish no stand-by-stand block list, no rule for which direction the numbering runs, and nothing that maps an L block to the M block above it. Their web pages carry an interactive seat-view tool and nothing else — a lookup you can query one seat at a time, not a document you can read.
That is also why the families above are partial rather than complete. They were read off operational concourse and catering maps — drawings made to show where the bars and food outlets are, which happen to label the blocks they sit behind — rather than off a ticketing chart. A catering map has no reason to be exhaustive about blocks, so the gaps in the M list are gaps in the evidence rather than gaps in the ground. Any site printing a complete, tidy Twickenham block table is filling in the half the RFU withhold.
For the general shape a block list takes when a governing body publishes one, see how a seating plan is normally organised.
No permanent away section, and no statement naming one
No RFU statement designates any permanent away section at Twickenham, and rugby internationals do not segregate supporters. There is no away allocation held back at the ground, no segregated approach, and no rule about the colours you arrive in. Visiting supporters sit among home supporters, wherever their ticket puts them.
As at Murrayfield up the road, this is a fact about the sport rather than a gap in the research. Football conventions do not transfer: a visiting supporter at a Premier League ground is allocated specific blocks, enters through a specific turnstile and is often told what not to wear, and none of that applies here. The question every other page on this site answers with block numbers has no answer at Twickenham, because there is nothing to designate.
A route described in full, and a price never stated
The RFU describe the route in full. A tour takes in the England changing room, the players' tunnel and pitchside, and admission to the World Rugby Museum and its Play Rugby Interactive Zone comes with it. Booking runs through the World Rugby Museum's own site rather than through the stadium one.
What they never state is what it costs or how long it takes. No adult price appears on any RFU page, and neither does a duration — the route is documented in detail and the two things a visitor needs in order to plan around it are absent. That combination is worth naming rather than filling in from a third party: a tour you can picture precisely and cannot budget for is the RFU's own choice about what to publish.
A documented route with no published price is common enough that planning around an unpublished price addresses it directly.
Pre-booked only, no published price, and a shuttle that is not park and ride
Matchday parking at the stadium exists, but it must be pre-booked through official ticketing and no fixed price is published for it. If the onsite car parks close ahead of a match — which the venue says can happen — the alternative offered is the Continental Tyres Rosebine car park, about ten minutes' walk away.
Accessible parking is at the Tesco car park on Mogden Lane, TW7 7JY, and is restricted: Access Card holders, or visitors who have supplied a copy of a Blue Badge in advance. It is not a turn-up-and-park arrangement.
There is an event-day electric shuttle to Richmond and Hounslow East stations, running from three hours before kick-off to three hours after, at £5.00 per person before the match and free afterwards. It is a station shuttle and not a park and ride: it connects the ground to the rail network rather than to a car park, so it solves the problem of getting away from Twickenham rather than the problem of where to leave a car. The distinction matters because the two are routinely confused, and only one of them helps if you have driven.
82,000, stated repeatedly and contradicted nowhere
Twickenham seats 82,000, which makes it the largest ground in the world built for rugby union. The RFU state that figure in three separate places — the stadium page, a Women's Rugby World Cup city guide to London, and a history of the union's first century and a half — and no version of it disagrees with another.
That is worth saying plainly because it is unusual here. Most grounds on this site carry a conflict of some kind — two official figures, a club contradicting itself, a governing body printing two numbers in one document. Twickenham carries none. One figure, stated repeatedly, contradicted nowhere, and a page that finds nothing to dispute should say so as clearly as it would say the opposite.
One absence is worth recording alongside it: no concert capacity is published. The ground hosts concerts and the configuration is plainly different from a matchday one, but the RFU put no second figure to it.
A capacity that agrees with itself across every source is the exception on this site, and why most grounds are harder than this one is largely about the rule.
The pin is OpenStreetMap's, because the RFU publish no coordinate
The RFU publish no coordinate on any page cited here, so the pin below comes from OpenStreetMap — object way/4253555, which OSM classifies as leisure/stadium. The check is worth naming for what it turned up rather than what it ruled out: queried under the name Twickenham Stadium, the object that comes back is already called Allianz Stadium. The rename has reached the map data even where it has not reached the search volume.

Test yourself
Twickenham's lower tier is numbered L1 to L36. What does the M prefix mark?
Show the answer
The middle tier. Level 4 carries a second scheme alongside it, keyed to the stand: East runs E1 to E29, West W1 to W25, North N5 to N20.
