  • Bus routes along the Fulham Road — Several buses run close to the ground for those coming from central London.

Off the beaten track

Lower-profile pubs, cafés and corners the locals keep to themselves.

  • The Crabtree, Fulham riverside

    A short walk past the ground along the Thames Path, quieter than the pubs nearer the station.

    Open in maps

  • Fulham Palace walled garden

    A genuinely peaceful spot next to the ground that most fans walk straight past.

    Open in maps

  • Bishop's Park bowling green café

    A tucked-away park café favoured by locals rather than matchgoers.

Transport alert

Bank holiday network works

Easter and the May bank holidays are the heaviest engineering weekends of the year. May trips into London should be planned around a possible line closure.

Ground note

Craven Cottage is one of the smallest, most old-fashioned grounds in the top flight — some away views have restricted sightlines around the corner sections.

Ground note

Putney Bridge station gets very congested after full time; the riverside walk towards Hammersmith can be a useful alternative.
