[Football] Chelsea Away - Travel and Pubs

[Seagull1989]

Couple of questions for everyone going to Chelsea tomorrow.

What’s the best way to get there ? Change at Clapham then Overground to West Brompton?
Or Victoria and underground to Fulham Broadway

Also, any away pubs for drinking near the ground ?

Change at Clapham then Overground to West Brompton?

This is what we are doing

 

[John Byrnes Mullet]

Clapham Jct to Imperial Wharf.

But don't search for it on a map, as the place doesn't exist.

Imperial Wharf, not Clapham Junction.

It's on Google and I used it last time. Much quicker if your just looking to go to the game.

All my work colleagues who are Chelsea Fans use it.

If you like walking thru cemeteries use West Brompton , if you like walking the little Chelsea aspect then use Imperial wharf - Imperial wharf is a good 5 minutes closer

Eh ? Its an overground train station, course it exists. It'll be on the TFL website and Network journey planner

Anyway, I'm going to Victoria then walking - nice gentle stroll through the West End and along the King's Road, with a stop for lunch on the way somewhere. It's only about 2.5 miles - London is far more walkable than people realise and much more pleasant than the tube/trains (unless it's peeing down)

Yeah best by far if you are going to Stamford Bridge. Many fans don't seem to be aware of it's existence though.

If the OP just wants to get to the ground easily without the hustle and bustle of Victoria station I'd definitely recommend going via Imperial Wharf. Nice and straightforward.

Also if they want some tinnies for the journey home there is a convenience store pretty much over the road from the away end entrance/exit. Not too dear given the location and can pick up a 4 pack for the journey home.

When l say it doesn't exist, l mean there isn't a place called Imperial Wharf, merely a train station that was opened a few years ago.

Jump off at Clapham, Get the train to Putney, Booze around Putney bridge. Jump on the district line at Putney bridge, 2 stops to the ground. Very few Chelsea fans will be seen, Lovely.


Enjoy

But a fair few Palarse fans, who will mug you.

Palace at Home, Leeds at Charlton, PPF will be sniffing around looking for a three way

Throw in a Hibs or Aberdeen ‘crew’ and the vaseline will broken open. Paradise.

I am not sure that it is even still there and open but in years gone by going to Stamford Bridge meant drinking in The Brittania.

I went here for some German sausage and Beer pre Chelsea last time. Cracking bar if you like it German.

About 15/20 min walk from the ground. Closest Tube, Parsons Green, I wish i was going as I'd 100% go there for pre match beer and Currywurst. Lovely grub.
