Mornington Crescent!

Mornington Crescent!

Let's not start that again!

Just looking, and it might be possible to do overland from Basingstoke itself, assuming the walk from waterloo east to waterloo can be done in 20 minutes!

I walk this most mornings/evenings., and it can be completed in approx 3 mins.  Waterloo & Waterloo East are pretty much different arms of the same station (with one station serving SW London and all points SW and the other serving SE London and Kent) connected by an overhead walkway.  Connection times are minimal.

Or Hatton Cross!  That's where we parked when we went to Millwall and will be doing that again tomorrow.  Osterley is couple of stops further in, so either is probably ok.

Hatton Cross parking was £4 all day for Saturday, not sure how much tomorrow though.

Was resisting the urge to go to this one - Can't go without my little-un, on a school night would get ridiculously late for her, need to call in favours to get out of work early etc However when a mate of my wife's texted to say that her husband had managed to get too many tickets and would I be interested in a pair I sort of said yes (very quickly).

I have no idea how to get there, will probably drive part-way and then tube/train it. Would be grateful if anybody knows of a station that other town fans are using as I don't really want to be wandering around in the middle of the night with just my daughter in some dodgey shit hole.

If I'd got my arse in gear I'd have gone SOS like I did to Millwall although I probably wouldn't have been able to get out of work early enough. Any advise gratefully recieved.

Osterley parking is free if you stop on the Great West Road (A4) either side of the station. If there isn't any before or after just turn around at the next set of lights and head back towards Hounslow and park on the other side of the road. Always loads of room and never had any problems with idiots/residents etc.

Lots of parking around ground, sure there are many streets around ground that are unrestricted, failing that a big car park on Victoria Way costs £5 and has masses of spaces

I've been told parking around the ground is easy enough, plenty of car parks for about a fiver, much cheaper than 5 people paying tube etc. Going to leave the don around half 3 and hope for the best.

As for the route, im guessing around the m25 (anti clockwise) is going to be much quicker than through london which the satnav is going to try and make me do?  Cheers

Last time I went I parked here (the car park to the left of the marker). Cost a fiver I think. Bit of a pain to get out after the game though it must be said.

Leaving then as well, should be okay, sat nav guides me straight through London though, my mate says come off at Bracknell and go via the M3??

That's the way I'd go

That's what i'm trying to work out now. Anyone know the best way, because last time i was intelligent enough to drive through central London...

I plan on bombing at right round to the A2. Is this best? Because i don't fancy the south circular much, unless of course that is the best and afterall it can't be worse than missing an entire game due to going central.
