Directions to Stadt Du Wandsworth Common
By road
The majority of our opposition will be travelling in from far-West London. From the West, teams will need to find the A219 Fulham Palace Road and then turn left into the A308 New Kings Road. This will lead to the A217 Wandsworth Bridge Road. Continue along, crossing the Thames until turning left into the A3 Wandsworth Common North Side road (leading into Battersea Rise, again the A3). Second right is Bolingbroke Grove and the pitches are situated on the right hand side. Parking along this road and the subsequent side lanes is permitted but we have been made aware that the small car-park is strangely unavailable for football team use! FCTR will be investigating other sources to confirm.
By rail
The nearest station is Wandsworth Common BR station. Trains arrive in from Victoria mainline station which filters parts of West London. Directions upon arrival are to cross over the footbridge to the station's back entrance, turn right, walk through the station's mini car park until you reach The Hope pub - dead ahead of you. The road running across is Bellevue Road. Cross straight over and this shall bring you at the entrance of Wandsworth Common. Bear right from the footpath and still bearing right walk around the lake. Continue until you see another footbridge on the right. The changing facilities are straight ahead near the cricket field and the pitches are over the said bridge and on the left. Access from Clapham Junction is also possible. Take the St. John's Hill exit and turn right. Continue until you see the Strathblaine Road on the left, opposite a primary school. This leads into Bolingbroke Grove and our pitches are on the right with changing rooms over the footbridge and right.
By tube
Head Southbound on the Northern Line to Balham underground station. Use the Chestnut Grove Exit, turn right out of the station and walk down Balham High Road. Next you should see Balham Park Road a couple of streets down on the right hand side and after a church. Continue along Balham Park Road for a few minutes and you will arrive at a short bend in the road with a signpost indicating the entrance to Wandsworth Common on the right. Pass through the immediate mini gate and walk ahead bearing right parallel to the railway track . You will pass by Wandsworth Common BR station and see The Hope pub etc after this. From here see the above directions mentioned from Wandsworth Common Station to get to the pitches.
