The Polytechnic Stadium, Sports venue in Chiswick, England
The Polytechnic Stadium features a grandstand with seating for 658 people and includes a first-floor restaurant within its Grade II listed structure.
The stadium construction began in 1936 under architect Joseph Addison, following a memorial fundraising campaign after Quintin Hogg's death in 1903.
From 1938 to 1973, the stadium marked the finish line of the Polytechnic Marathon, where Leonard Edelen established a world record in 1963.
Visitors can reach the stadium via Chiswick BR station, with trains running every 15 minutes from London Waterloo through Clapham Junction.
A miniature railway operates next to the grandstand, while the facility hosted field hockey preliminaries during the 1948 Summer Olympics.
