Straight on for 1.6 miles, past New Spitalfields Market, and turn left at first set of lights (n/s) into Oliver Road. If you miss this turning, continue to next lights and turn left into Leyton High Road.

By rail:
From Underground (Leyton, Central Line): It's about five minutes walk. Turn right out of station, into Leyton High Road. Take 7th turning on left into Buckingham Road (the turning just past Coronation Gardens). This leads directly to the away end.

By bus:
Bus nos. 58, 69, 97 and 158 run to the ground.

Trouble Factor:
No real trouble in or around the ground for a long, long time.

Car Parking:
It's street parking! The roads near the ground fill up early, but there are residential streets for miles around. One possibility is to park near the Birkbeck Tavern and walk from there - it takes about ten minutes.

Pubs:
The Supporters Club bar admits away fans for a small admission charge. It is also CAMRA recommended. It fills quickly though so you might prefer The Coach & Horses between Brisbane Road and Leyton High Road, it does good food and real ale.

If you have any information (or corrections!) regarding this or any of the away grounds, please let us know by mailing us at:
