Select Car Leasing Stadium (Madejski Stadium) Hotels & Accommodation

For the widest array of accommodation choices, consider staying in London, the country’s capital city. Not only will you be able to find somewhere to sleep that truly suits you, but you will also be able to explore its landmarks, attractions, and neighbourhoods at your leisure. There’s also nowhere better for a night out.

📍 Where To Stay

While gritty London is beautiful in its own way, nowhere exudes quintessential English charm quite like Oxford. Combining excellent shopping and dining with a deep-delving history, and a sprinkle of nature, this city is ideal for city slickers and culture cats, as well as families.

As London and Oxford are two major tourist hubs, accommodation can be steep. Those watching their pennies might be more comfortable in Reading where prices are generally cheap whether you’re going for a luxury suite or budget room. Although it’s not as highly reputed as its neighbouring cities, Reading offers outstanding shopping, dining, and nightlife too.

Alternatively, ditch the cities altogether and opt for a cute country escape instead. With both North Wessex Downs and Chiltern Hills on its doorstep, Reading’s countryside is hard to beat. Find anything from a 17th-century estate to converted barns and even remote glamping pods to immerse you in nature.

About Select Car Leasing Stadium (Madejski Stadium)

The Madejski Stadium, also known as the Select Car Leasing Stadium for sponsorship reasons, is a football stadium located in Reading, England. It is the home of Reading FC.

📜 History

The stadium, which opened in 1998, is named after former Royals chairman Sir John Madejski. They had played at their previous home, Elm Park, for 102 years, but converting it to an all-seater venue following the release of the Taylor Report was not practical, and so a new ground had to be built.

Reading planned to expand the stadium, which can hold approximately 24,000 supporters, to around 38,000 after they achieved promotion to the Premier League in 2006, but their relegation 2 years later put such plans on hold.

Between 2000 and 2020, Reading shared the ground with London Irish rugby team. Between 1998 and 1999 they also briefly shared with Richmond, who subsequently merged into London Irish after going into administration.
