Excitement Begins
When Fulham FC unveiled the Sky Deck at Craven Cottage, we knew it would be special, but nothing compares to experiencing it in person. Recently, the Experience First team had the privilege of enjoying this hospitality concept first-hand, and we’re here to share what makes it truly exceptional.
First Impressions
From the moment we stepped into the Riverside Stand, the sense of occasion was undeniable. The Sky Deck spans the top three floors, and as we made our way up, the views of the River Thames and London skyline immediately set the tone for an unforgettable day.
Atmosphere & Design
The Sky Deck isn’t just a lounge, it’s a lifestyle space. We loved the freedom to move between levels, from chic indoor areas to the open-air rooftop terrace, although not open on a rainy day in London! It felt vibrant yet relaxed, with plenty of room to mingle and soak up the pre-match buzz.
Food & Drink Experience
This was a highlight for us. Instead of a traditional sit-down meal, the Sky Deck offers experiential dining and it works brilliantly. We sampled roaming plates, chef-led stations, and creative bowl dishes that kept things fresh and exciting. The champagne reception set the tone, and the open bar didn’t disappoint, with premium wines, cocktails, and spirits flowing throughout the day.
Matchday Views
When kick-off approached, we headed to our panoramic halfway-line seats. The view was incredible—close enough to feel the intensity, elevated enough to appreciate the full pitch. Being able to return to the Sky Deck during half-time for more hospitality was a real luxury.
Post-Match Vibes
The experience didn’t end with the final whistle. We stayed on for music, drinks, and conversation as the terrace came alive under the evening sky. It felt more like an exclusive club than a stadium lounge—a perfect way to round off the day.
Why We Recommend Sky Deck
- Freedom of movement across multiple levels
- Unrivalled views of the Thames and pitch
- Innovative dining that feels social and immersive
- Premium drinks included throughout
- A vibrant post-match atmosphere
Final Thoughts
Experiencing the Sky Deck first-hand confirmed what we suspected: this is hospitality reimagined. The developers nailed the brief and the ingenuity of getting usage as a private members club on non-matchday’s was a beautiful use of the space, with their cinema room and creche were the personal touches you see everywhere in the Sky Deck.
