Directions:
Leave the M25 at Junction 2 and follow the A2 towards London. When the A2 becomes the A102(M), take the A206 towards Woolwich and you arrive at the ground on your right. If you cross the Thames or reach Blackheath, you have gone too far. There is street parking, but not near the ground. As you come off the A2 onto the A206, there is some street parking on your right before you reach the Rose of Denmark pub. There is some street parking around the industrial estates in the area, in Westmoor Street, Eastmoor Street, Warspite Road and Ruston Road. If you are coming up Woolwich Road from Blackwall Tunnel, as you go past the ground, the industrial estates are on the left.

The ground is in walking distance of Charlton railway station, which is served by Charing Cross and London Bridge mainline stations. On Saturdays there are also services from Cannon Street station. Come out of Charlton station into Charlton Church lane (all exits lead onto this road). and turn right and cross to the other side. Take the next left into Floyd Road and then right into Valley.

Although Charlton station is very close to the Valley, many find it easier to take the Tube, using the Jubilee Line to get to North Greenwich station and then buses 161, 472 or 486 to get to the ground.

Friendly pubs:
The Antigallican and Charlton Liberal Club, near Charlton station

Pubs to avoid:
The Rose Of Denmark
