Getting home after

Fulham Broadway (3 min)
Fulham Broadway is stewarded and one-way after the match but moves steadily on the District line; it is the closest and simplest way out.
Walk to West Brompton / Imperial Wharf
Walking 12 minutes to West Brompton or Imperial Wharf trades a longer stroll for shorter platform queues and Overground or Southern options.
Driving out
If you drove, Fulham Road stays closed after full time and reopens slowly — a nearby pub beats the diversion crawl along the King’s Road.

Step-free & accessible

Fulham Broadway is step-free with lift access and is the closest accessible station at about a 3-minute walk.

Chelsea provides accessible parking bays for Blue Badge holders (pre-book only) and an accessible drop-off and pick-up point by the main entrance at Stamford Gate.

Accessible toilets use RADAR-key access; some stewards carry keys but bringing your own is advised. Book accessible seating and assistance when you buy tickets.
