It would be well worth a visit to the New/Old White Hat Lane first... and then a quick (well, an 1hr 15mins) trip to Wembley... if you factor it into your day, then it could be a nice 'introduction' to North London... ahem, culture!The problem is that we don't have a great deal of heritage sites at Wembley. Would definitely recommend that your fans do take a visit to see the new ground to get a feel of the place, it is a site to behold, did you know we have the largest club shop in Europe? (source Herr Cowlin's YouTube channel) there are still a number of pubs around the ground with some history too like the Bricklayers Arms.
But it's kind of a strange time to be a tourist for spurs once the new ground has opened properly there will be a lot more to recommend.
It would be great if we could give some hints to places/ pubs/ fields/ houses which have a special meaning (to Tottenham and his history)
Thanks everyone so far for your help (and also the music references apart from Born to Ron . I have watched "Memory Lane" - very good documentary. Some parts reminded me of this famous picture:
Has there even been an explanation behind the picture?
which one....?↑

Ron I will decline to tell you to do one Ron Ron as that would be extraordinarily crass of me but what I will say if you want to get a sense of history of our great club you could do no worse than share the link for memory lane a People's history of our lamented old home the famous white hart Lane.Hello everyone,
my name is Ron Ulrich and I work for the German football magazine 11Freunde (comparable to When Saturday Comes and FourFourTwo - 11freunde(dot)de).
I wondered if you could help me with that:
For our next issue we would like to portray the three cities the German teams will visit in the next Champions League round. So it is supposed to be a football culture tourguide (with a map) for fans created by people who know the city and its history very well. It would be great if we could give some hints to places/ pubs/ fields/ houses which have a special meaning (to Tottenham and his history) and are not so commonly known as f.e. Wembley Stadium or Belushi’s sports bar.
To give you an impression, this is what I would recommend in Dortmund:
1 Borsigplatz - birthplace of the club and place where the club does his parades after titles
2 German football museum opposite the main station
3 Lindemannstraße - the place where one of the Dortmund players Neven Subotic celebrated spontaneously with the supporters after their deceisive game and therefore win of the title 2011
I am grateful for any hint / recommendation / link or contact.
Kind regards
Ron
