Crayford Stadium

Crayford Stadium is a greyhound racing venue in southeast London featuring a racing track, private viewing suites, a restaurant, and multiple bars on its grounds. The facility offers varied spaces for spectators and dining to support the racing experience.

The venue opened on September 1, 1986, following approximately 16 months of construction on a site where part of the land was developed for a supermarket. This development marked the beginning of its modern use as a racing venue.

The venue hosts a series of competitions throughout the year, including the well-regarded Guys and Dolls race created in 1997, which has become a highlight on the regional calendar. These events shape the on-site experience and draw regular visitors who appreciate the tradition of these races.

Racing events occur on different days of the week, with evening sessions on certain days and afternoon meetings on others, with advance booking available. Visitors should check ahead to see which dates work for them so they can plan their visit accordingly.

The venue partners with local dog shelters to rehome retired racing greyhounds and ensure their welfare after their careers end. This program reflects a commitment to the animals that have shaped the place.
