Getting there

Newcastle Central station — A short walk or one tube stop into the city centre, then a 15-20 minute walk to the ground.
St James Metro — Tyne and Wear Metro station right by the stadium, the quickest way in from Central station.
Driving — The ground sits right in the city centre, so parking is very limited — the Metro from Park & Ride sites is by far the easiest option.
