About
Inglewood is a city in southwestern California, in the United States, located near Los Angeles International Airport. For visitors arriving by air, it sits close enough to make a stop practical, whether you are passing through on the way to the coast or staying a short while in the region.
What to expect
The city is known for its diverse community, which shapes its streets, its neighborhoods and the everyday life you will notice as you walk or drive through it. Inglewood is also the home of two professional basketball teams, the Los Angeles Lakers and the Los Angeles Clippers, so basketball is a common topic of conversation here, and a game day can bring a lively atmosphere to the area.
Planning your visit
- Getting there: The proximity to Los Angeles International Airport makes it an easy addition to an itinerary that begins or ends in Los Angeles.
- Basketball: If you follow the Lakers or the Clippers, a visit may be built around a home game. Check the teams' schedules before you travel.
- Exploring: Allow time to wander the city itself and to meet its community, rather than treating it only as a stopover.
- Nearby: Because of its location in the Los Angeles area, Inglewood works well as a base for reaching other parts of the region.
Inglewood suits visitors who want a different angle on Southern California: a diverse, working city with a strong sporting identity, a short distance from the airport and the wider Los Angeles area.
