Directions
Leave the M25 at Junction 15 and take the
M4 towards London, which then becomes the A4 up to Hammersmith. Carry on
over the Hammersmith flyover and after a further one and half miles, take
the turning Earls Court. Continue past Earls Court station and down the one way system
until you reach the junction with Fulham Road. At this junction, turn
right at the traffic lights and after about half a mile, you will see the
ground on your right. A number of local resident
schemes are in operation around the ground, so you may well end up having to
park some way from the ground itself. Thanks to Andy Harris for providing
the directions.
Pubs
The pubs near the ground can be quite partisan, so I
would recommend getting a drink somewhere on the journey there.
Gordon a
visiting Newcastle fan adds 'there are quite a few pubs on the Kings Road
as long as you don't break into a chorus about your team!'.
Whilst Will
Worboys a visiting Bradford fan adds; 'the Slug & Lettuce, next to
Fulham Broadway tube station, was okay for a drink on our visit'.
Johan van Oosten 'The White Horse Pub near Parsons Green Station was excellent'.
A large comfortable pub which sells good food and a range of real ales including
Harveys Ales from Sussex. To find this pub with the new West Stand behind you
turn right (up past where the away coaches are parked) up Fulham Road and into
Fulham Broadway, passing the tube station on your right. Continue to follow
Fulham Road around to the left and then take a left hand turn into Parsons Green
Road. Go under the bridge passing Parsons Tube Station on your right and you
will reach the White Horse pub on your left.
By Tube/Train
The nearest tube station is Fulham Broadway which is on the District Line. Take
a tube to Earls Court and if necessary, change for a Wimbledon bound tube.
The nearest overground train station is West Brompton,
which is served by trains from Clapham Junction (which is in turn served
by trains from London Waterloo and Victoria stations).
It is around a 15 minute walk to the ground from West
Brompton station. Turn right
outside the station past the Tournament Pub, then right again into Brompton
Cemetery. Stamford Bridge is soon visible to the right. After a half-mile,
turn right onto the Fulham Rd. Thanks
to Jim Millington for providing the directions.
