Hotels near White Hart Lane
It is a fact that the Hotspur Football Club was formed in 1882 when a group of a dozen or so teenagers gathered under a gas lamp of what is now the Spurs Megastore at the Park Lane end of the ground to start a football club to run alongside Hotspur Cricket Club, formed two years earlier. They took their name from the gallant adventures of Harry Hotspur, a Shakespeare character and Hotspur FC was born, soon changed to Tottenham Hotspur to avoid confusion with London Hotspur. Professionalism was the next step and the club joined the Southern League in 1898 and became a limited company in 1896. A crowd of 14,000 attended a match against Woolwich Arsenal and it soon became clear that the ground at Northumberland Park was too small. A plot of land was found just off Tottenham High Road next to the White Hart pub - White Hart Lane was born.
