Getting there

  • Kew Bridge station — South Western Railway from Waterloo; the ground is five minutes' walk over the bridge.
  • Brentford Central — Overground option from Richmond or Willesden Junction, similar walking distance the other side.
  • Driving — M4 J1 onto the A315; there is very little matchday parking near the ground, so most fans arrive by train.

  • Brentford High Street — A short walk brings takeaways and cafés, quieter than the immediate ground area. Map

Transport alert

Standard Saturday

Nothing unusual in the London diary for this date. Book advance rail tickets 12 weeks out and check the operator's works page the Monday before.

Ground note

The stadium is compact and tightly packed into a residential and light-industrial area — arrive early as queues build fast.

Ground note

Kew Bridge station gets very busy immediately after full time; a short walk towards Gunnersbury can ease the crush.
