On the network it is Woolwich (the Elizabeth line, DLR and Southeastern) to Selhurst (National Rail), plus a 12-minute walk at the far end. The catch is that three stations serve the ground and none is close. Door to door by road is about 30 min, or 55 min when the roads are full, with no changes, no stairs and no queue at the barrier. It is a fair fight on the way there. On the way back, when several thousand people want the same platform, it stops being one.
From the SE18 streets the route runs via the A205 then the A206, finishing on A213 Whitehorse Lane, off the A215. That is about 12.7 miles. Reckon 30 min off-peak and 55 min if you are crossing town at the wrong moment.
We cover the whole of Woolwich - SE18 - including the streets where flagging something down is a matter of luck rather than timing.
Whitehorse Lane or Park Road, clear of the Holmesdale Road closure. The streets around Selhurst are narrow and go one-way on matchdays, so the meeting point sits on Whitehorse Lane. Your driver sends the exact standing point and the registration before they set off, so you are not circling a car park looking for a number plate.
Address: Holmesdale Road, South Norwood, SE25 6PU.
If you were thinking of driving yourself: Selhurst Park sits inside a matchday or event-day controlled parking zone, on-site spaces are pre-book only and go early, and the residential streets around it are permit-holders only with active enforcement. Pre-booked both ways, none of that is your problem.
Doors are usually an hour before the match. Working back, that means leaving Woolwich around 55 min plus that hour on a busy night - and booking the return at the same time, because the road out is slower than the road in.
£70 in a saloon, £90 in a 6-seat MPV and £100 in an 8-seater. That is the fixed price, agreed at booking.
Door to door the car is about 30 min off-peak. The rail alternative is Woolwich to Selhurst plus the walk, which is competitive going out and considerably slower coming back.
Whitehorse Lane or Park Road, clear of the Holmesdale Road closure. You get the exact point and the registration by text beforehand.
The driver waits. We watch venue finish times rather than working to a fixed clock, so a late curtain does not leave you stranded or cost you extra.
Yes, and it is the leg worth booking. The driver is in position before you come out instead of you joining the queue that forms the moment it ends.
No. The fare is fixed when you book. Traffic, tolls and the hour are our problem, not a line on your bill.
