| Getting
there |
By
Car: (approx 35 miles from HW)
M40 until it becomes the A40 (Western Avenue). After 14 miles exit (signposted White City) and then under flyover and into Wood Lane. Just after the BBC complex on the right, turn right into South Africa Road. Ground is on the left after a few hundred yards.
Parking is available at a cost of £5.00 in the BBC car park in Wood Lane on match days. Otherwise it's street parking and with a little local knowledge you will find a space if you turn off the A40 before White City.

Train: Nearest tube stations White City (Central Line) or Shepherd's Bush (Hammersmith/City and Central Line). White City is closer to the ground.
