Abandoned 35,016-Seat Premier League Stadium Demolished to Make Way for Apartment Complex, Statue Remains as Sole Reminder
The remnants of Upton Park feature a residential development, an iconic statue, and over a century of beloved memories.
West Ham commemorated their rich history at the Boleyn Ground for 102 years before moving in 2016.

The Hammers bid a heartfelt farewell to their cherished ground after clinching a 3-2 victory over Manchester United in May 2016.
Since then, they have continued their football journey a few miles away in Stratford, largely leaving their former community behind.
A portion of Upton Park was demolished for the 2018 movie Final Score, featuring Pierce Brosnan and Dave Bautista.
The site was eventually completely leveled to make way for 842 new apartments.
SunSport reported last year that the legacy of the site and its community impact is commemorated, with the residential building featuring a “bubbles” motif inspired by the club’s famous song “Forever Blowing Bubbles.”
The Upton Gardens development provides a variety of property types, starting at £350,000 for a one-bedroom apartment and around £500k for a two-bedroom maisonette.
The departure of West Ham has had a profound effect on the local community.
Nathan’s Pie and Eels, a legendary matchday establishment, shut its doors permanently in 2018, just two years after West Ham’s move.
