Getting there

  • Fulham Broadway tube — District line station built into a shopping centre right outside the ground.
  • West Brompton — Overground and District line alternative a short walk away, useful when Fulham Broadway is at capacity.
  • Driving — Central London congestion charge and very limited parking make this one of the least car-friendly grounds in the league.
