With most away allocations expected to sell out this season and fans visiting grounds not seen for many seasons, today we kick off this season’s series of away travel guides, which are pulled together by Trust Member Anne Noble.
Directions by road – SW6 1HS
Fans are advised NOT to drive to Stamford Bridge due to parking restrictions in the area, especially on matchdays.
Driving from The North, East or West:
Use the M25 to Junction 15 and turn off onto the M4 towards London. Follow the M4 which becomes the A4 up to Hammersmith. Go over the Hammersmith Flyover and a further 1.5 miles before turning off for Earls Court. Go past Earls Court station and across Old Brompton Road, eventually reaching Fulham Road. Turn right at the traffic lights. After 600 yards, the ground is on the right. Parking is difficult very close to the ground.
Driving from The South:
Cross the river at Wandsworth Bridge and head up Wandsworth Bridge Road. At the junction with New King's Road, turn right and then immediately left. This will take you up to Fulham Broadway. Turn right onto Fulham Road and the ground is 400 yards on the left. Parking is difficult very close to the ground.
Approx 102 miles and 2 hours travel time.
