By car: South of the river in London. It means there are several ways of getting there but the most straightforward, if not the shortest in distance, is to follow the A2 into London from Junction 2 of the M25. The A2 actually passes the ground. Once you go past New Cross Gate tube station on your right the ground is about a mile further on. The only awkward bit is about half way in-between New Cross Gate and the ground where the road splits into two. Keep to the right following the signs A2 City/Westminster. You will come to the ground on your right. Street parking can be found on the small estate on your left just past the ground.
By rail: There are two tube stations that are about 15-20 minutes walk away from the ground. Surrey Quays & New Cross Gate which are both on the East London Line. It is probably best to go by rail as South Bermondsey Railway Station is only a few minutes walk from the ground. This station is served with trains from London Bridge.
Trouble Factor: Not a friendly place at all. The really bad times of the 70's and 80's are gone, but there is still a bonehead element at large - don't wear colours and keep quiet if you don't have the right accent.
