Car Parking:
A bit of a nightmare, we are talking London and street parking here. Sainsbury's car park is available from 1:30pm on matchdays, but it's first come first served so get there early. Otherwise it's street parking - the later you get there the further you have to walk.
Pubs:
There are several good pubs in walking distance of the ground, try: The White Horse on Selhurst Road, The Albion on Thornton Heath High Street, The Selhurst Arms on Selhurst Road and The Goat House on Penge Road.
Food:
Pretty good selection of food in the ground, all seemed a good quality as well.
Round the ground there are numerous takeaways, chip shops, burger bars, etc. Just wander round there is something for every taste here.
