Charlton Athletic
Directions
Leave the M25 at Junction 2 and follow the A2 towards
London. When the A2 becomes the A102(M), take the A206 towards Woolwich and you will come
to the ground on your right. If you cross over the Thames
or reach Blackheath, then you have gone too far.
Street parking, but due to a local residents parking scheme, not
in close vicinity to the ground or Charlton railway station.
However as you come off the A2 onto the A206, there is some
street parking to be had on your right, in a couple of streets, before you reach
the Rose of Denmark pub. Colin Gilham
informs me; 'There
is some street parking to be had around the industrial
estates in the area, in Westmoor Street, Eastmoor Street (the very
road where the club was apparently formed 100
years ago!), Warspite Road and Ruston Road.
If you are coming up the Woolwich Road from the the
Blackwall Tunnel, then as you go past the
ground, the industrial estates are on the left
hand side.
By Train
The ground is in walking distance of Charlton railway
station, which is served by Charing Cross and
London Bridge mainline stations.
Colin Gilham informs me; 'Come out Charlton station into Charlton Church
lane (all exits lead onto this road). and turn right
and cross over to the other side. Take the next left into Floyd Road
and then right into Valley Grove for the away section
entrance'.
Pubs
'The Antigallican', a big pub near Charlton station.
The 'Rose of Denmark on Woolwich Road.
'Charlton Liberal Club', to
which away fans are welcome on payment of a small entry fee. The club can be
found by turning right out of Charlton station and walking 300 yards up the hill on the
left hand side of the road, past the row of shops. The club is a
five minute walk from the away end.
