Player murals outside Tottenham Hotspur Stadium become first in UK to feature audio description content for visually impaired fans

The murals were officially unveiled today by Club Ambassador Ledley King, who put the finishing touches on his own mural at Tottenham Community Sports Centre.

Ledley said: “Inclusivity is so important and our Club does a great job in providing an accessible experience for all supporters. It is something we have always taken seriously, and it has been great to come to my mural today and see first-hand how we are providing that around the stadium.”

Marc Silver, CEO & Founder of MurWalls, said: “Being part of the David Katz Foundation (DKF) from its inception has been a genuine privilege. This project is about more than murals — it’s about access, empowerment and inclusion. Through MurWalls, we were honoured to celebrate Harry, Sonny and Ledley for Tottenham Hotspur and its incredible supporters. As co-founder and trustee of DKF, I’m even prouder that we’ve helped bring the audio description to life, ensuring visually impaired fans can experience the artwork just as powerfully as everyone else.”

Matt Collings-Winter, Co-Chair of SpursAbility, Tottenham Hotspur’s Disabled Supporters Association, said: “We are thrilled that the club have elevated these three iconic murals to the next level while ensuring inclusivity not only for our members but for the wider community. We continue to be proud of the work Spurs do to make this football club a place for all.”

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium sets the benchmark for accessibility, delivering an inclusive matchday experience for supporters with disabilities.

The Stadium offers dedicated accessible entrances for both home & away fans, alongside 250 wheelchair accessible bays, 500 dedicated easily accessible seats, 66 accessible toilets and three fully equipped Changing Places facilities.

In addition to the AD commentary services, British Sign Language (BSL) services are available on matchdays and integrated into Stadium tour content, while induction loops are available at kiosks to reduce ambient noise for those who use hearing aids.

The Stadium also includes a Sensory Suite, located in the North Stand, which offers a comfortable and calming environment for supporters with sensory impairment conditions.
