Getting There By Car
Distance from St Mary’s: 85.1 miles
Leave the M25 at Junction 7 and follow the signs for the A23 to Croydon. At Purley bear left onto the A23 at its junction with the A235 (to Croydon). You will pass roundabouts and junctions with the A232 and A236 as you pass Croydon, after which the A23 bears left at Thornton Heath roundabout where you must take the fourth exit (A235) before an almost immediate left turn into Brigstock Road (B266). Continue past Thornton Heath Station on your left and bear right onto the High Street. At the next mini roundabout (Whitehorse Road/Grange Road) go left into Whitehorse Lane and continue until you see the ground on your right.
Car Parking
Most streets around the ground are either designated as residents only parking on matchdays or are pay and display with a four hour limit, so please take note of any street signs advising of parking restrictions.
The Sainsbury’s car park adjacent to the ground also has parking restrictions on a matchday allowing cars to stay for a maximum of four and a half hours. Anyone exceeding this time limit will be fined.
Please note that the traffic is busy around the stadium on Saturdays so make sure you allow yourself some extra time to make the journey.
