Bekkestua is a town in the municipality of Bærum, Norway,[1][2][3] with a busy bus terminal[4] and a station on one of Oslo's westbound T-bane lines, Kolsåsbanen.[5] It also has its own library,[6] police station and fire station. It has grown to be the second largest centre of the municipality after Sandvika, with small restaurants and shopping centres.[citation needed]
Nadderud stadion, the home ground of the Stabæk Fotball association football club is at walking distance from Bekkestua.[7] It was opened in 1961[7] as a sporting ground for the Nadderud Gymnas (High School). This high school was later demolished to give space to an extended stadium.[citation needed]
The Oslo International School is located next to Nadderud stadion.[8]
