Some information below for visitors to Chelsea to help make the trip a little easier.
Travel
By car:
If you are planning to come to Chelsea by car then please be aware that parking around Stamford Bridge is very restricted, there are 7 days a week parking restriction zones within a few miles radius of the ground and you don’t get a ticket because your car will be lifted if illegally parked.
Our advise is always to park outside the Capital and get the underground train into the Fulham Broadway / Earls Court area.
By train:
Stamford Bridge is a short walk from Fulham Broadway Underground station, FB is on the District Line (coloured green on the underground map) and you will need the Wimbledon bound train. Our advise would be to get off at Earls Court (also on the District Line as well as the Piccadilly Line) and walk to the ground from there.
By foot:
The Away Supporters are ‘seated’ in the South East corner of Stamford Bridge in the Shed Upper and Shed Lower Stand, and entry to the stadium can be found next to the Millenium Copthorne Hotel (only ‘paying guests’ are permitted into the eating and drinking areas of the hotel!)
Walking from Earls Court, the ground and entrance to the away stand is directly on your right after you pass over the railway bridge and you reach the ground.
We would advise walking back to Earls Court after the game as Fulham Broadway gets very busy and the main entrance is always closed to the public following a game, you will be moved along behind a guard rail into the station via the normal exit, if you choose to go this route stay on the right as you walk along Fulham Road after exiting the ground.
Walking back to Earls Court is normally just as quick and without the hustle and bustle!
Pubs and Restaurants:
Although there are now no designated pubs or restaurants for visiting away supporters in the Fulham Broadway area, the station complex does have a selection of drinking and eating establishments: Starbucks, The Pasty Shop and Sainsburys are on the ground floor whilst Nando’s and Pizza Express are located on the upper floor. Please give yourself plenty of time as there is always a large queue at these venues with them being so close to the ground.
Most of the drinking and eating places around Earls Court will also cater for your needs and give you more of a choice (Earls Court is approx a 15 minute walk to the ground and is the main underground station for the area).
Some pubs in a more local vicinity to the ground may allow away supporters in but, these are few and far between.
