Buffer is set to kick-off minus 45 minutes. Selhurst Park is a compact ground fed by three small suburban stations and tight residential streets, so 45 minutes covers the walk and the pre-match squeeze without cutting it fine.

Getting home after

Selhurst (12 min)
Selhurst is step-free and direct back to Victoria; walking there beats crowding onto the first train at Norwood Junction.
Norwood Junction / Thornton Heath
Norwood Junction has more frequent services (and Overground and Thameslink) and Thornton Heath is a quieter alternative, both a similar walk from the ground.
Driving out
If you drove, the permit-only streets empty slowly onto narrow roads — expect a crawl, and a local pub is a better bet than the queue.

Step-free & accessible

Selhurst and Thornton Heath stations both have step-free access to all platforms; Norwood Junction is step-free only to platform 1 (northbound stopping services).

There are 16 accessible parking bays for Blue Badge holders in the adjacent Sainsbury’s car park, available on a first-come basis on production of a valid Blue Badge.

The stadium has wheelchair and easy-access seating — book accessible seating and assistance in advance through the club.
