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.
B

Safe away spots

  • The Lily Langtry, Fulham Road — Large pub close to the ground, generally welcoming to away support in reasonable numbers. Map
  • North End Road market — Street food and cafés a few minutes' walk from the station. Map
  • Fulham Broadway shopping centre — Chain restaurants right by the tube, easy and neutral if pushed for time. Map

Off the beaten track

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

  • The Butcher's Hook, Fulham Road

    Named after Chelsea's original nickname, a quieter alternative to the main strip right by the ground.

    Open in maps

  • Brompton Cemetery

    Vast Victorian cemetery adjoining the stadium, a strange but peaceful pre-match walk.

    Open in maps

  • Eelbrook Common

    A green space a short walk south of the ground, popular with locals rather than matchgoers.

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

Fulham Broadway station and the surrounding streets are extremely congested for an hour either side of kick-off.

Ground note

The away end has restricted legroom in the upper tier — arrive in good time to find your row before it fills.
