Fulham
Directions
From the North M1
Thanks to Robert Donaldson, a visiting Stockport County
fan, for providing the following directions; 'At the end of the M1, turn right
(west) onto the A406 (North Circular) and follow it towards Harrow for nearly
4.5 miles. Turn left (east) onto the A40 heading into London (passing close to
Loftus Road and after a little over 4 miles turn right (west) onto the A402 for
just about 350 yards. Here you turn left (south) along the A219 for a little
over half a mile. This brings you into Hammersmith where you turn right onto the
A315 and then after just 130 yards or so turn left (south) back onto the A219.
Follow this road for a little over a mile, and the
ground down the side streets off to your right.
From The North M40 & West M25
Leave the M25 at Junction 15 and take the M4, which then becomes the A4, towards
Central London. After around two miles branch off left into Hammersmith Broadway
(before the flyover). Go around the ring road around central Hammersmith,
keeping to the right. Then take the A219 Fulham Palace Road. Keep straight on
this road, passing Charing Cross Hospital on your left. After about another half
a mile turn right into Crabtree Lane for the ground.
From the South M25
Leave the M25 at Junction 10 and take the A3 towards Central London. After
around eight miles, leave the A3 at the turn off for the A219. Take the
A219 towards Putney. Continue straight on this road, down Putney High
Street and across Putney Bridge. You will see the ground on your left.
Parking is possible in the streets around
the ground but they are
controlled by council parking meters, so make sure you bring some
change, (£1.60 per hour) and early arrival is
advised. Parking though is free in these areas in the
evenings and on Sundays. Pubs
Some of the pubs near the ground, have been
designated home supporters only, so most away fans are now using the pubs
South of the River (across Putney Bridge). The Dukes Head is recommended, which has nice
views overlooking the River Thames
towards the ground and does good food. It is a Youngs pub
with a
cosmopolitan atmosphere as it is located next to a number of rowing clubs. Allow twenty
minutes to walk from the pub to the ground. David Frear adds; 'The Crabtree
on Rainville Road (10 minutes from the ground) welcomes all away supporters
and as a Fulham season ticket holder I can tell you that as long as you
don't watch your football at Loftus Road you can be assured of a warm welcome'.
Andrew Johnson recommends; 'the
Zulu Bar (formerly the Kings Head),
on Fulham High Street, is one of the nearest to the ground and is always
popular with away fans'. Otherwise near to the tube
station is the 'Eight Bells' and just further along Fulham High Street is
'The Larrik' and O'Neills.
In Putney is the
Bricklayers Arms which was named the CAMRA London Pub of the Year in 2007.
It is located in Waterman Street. Simply go across the bridge over the
River Thames towards Putney, turn right along the bank of the Thames and
then left into Waterman Street. Allow a good
twenty
minutes to walk from the pubs this side of the river to the ground.
