Away Day Guide – Brentford
GETTING TO THE GTECH COMMUNITY STADIUM
BY TRAIN
There are eight train and underground stations close to the GTech Community Stadium and Brentford encourage supporters to utilise the public transport links rather than driving. The nearest station Kew Bridge – which Fulham fans should note isn’t step-free – receives trains from Waterloo every 15 minutes. Brentford station, the nearest step-free option, is around 20 minutes walk from the stadium whilst Chiswick station is a little further away.
Gunnersbury station offers both District Line and London Overground connectivity but Fulham fans should be aware that it will not open until an hour after the final whistle and even then queues are likely as access to the small platforms will be restricted on safety grounds. Supporters could also use the nearby Kew Gardens (District Line and London Overground), Chiswick Park (District Line), South Acton (London Overground), Acton Town (District and Piccadilly Lines) and South Ealing (Piccadilly Line) stations before completing their journey by utilising local bus services.
BY BUS
The 237, 267, 65, H91 and the 391 bus routes serve the GTech stadium directly, although supporters are urged to check the availability of these services before commencing their journey by using the TFL website or the TFL Go app.
BY TAXI
Taxi’s are available in the area, and Uber is used. There may be a longer wait for a taxi after the match, but anyone with accessibility requirements can contact the club using the contact information on the Stadium Accessibility webpage.
BY CAR
The stadium is located very near the start of the M4 by the Chiswick Flyover and close to the Chiswick Roundabout joining the North Circular Road (A406) and South Circular Road (A205). If coming from the North, the M1 or the M40 will join the North Circular, and if coming from the south or the west the M3 or the M4 are likely to be your best options.
