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.
B

Safe away spots

  • The Weir, Kew Bridge — Riverside pub right by the station, popular with away fans before kick-off. Map
  • Brentford High Street — A short walk brings takeaways and cafés, quieter than the immediate ground area. Map
  • Kew Bridge food stalls — Street food vans set up near the station on matchdays. Map

    Riverside arts centre with a quiet café overlooking the Thames.

Local event

Christmas at Kew

The illuminated trail at Kew Gardens runs into the New Year, filling nearby car parks and trains in the evening.

Transport alert

Midweek kick-off

A 19:45 start in London means the last realistic train back leaves around 22:15. Check the connection before you buy a ticket.

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.
