Queens Park Rangers
Directions
At the end of the M40, take the A40 towards Central London. At the point where the A40 becomes the A40(M), turn off onto the A40
towards White City/Shepherds Bush and turn right into Wood Lane, turn right into South
Africa Road for the ground.
Daniel Sleigh a visiting Nottingham Forest fan
informs me; 'There is a car
park on the Ariel Way industrial estate, opposite the BBC television centre. It is located at the end of
Silver Road (near the Royal Mail unit) and costs £6'. It opens three
hours before kick off and remains open until midnight. There are 75
spaces available, but they may also attract visitors to the nearby
Westfield Shopping Centre, so it is best to get there early. Matt
Garside from Southampton adds; 'It's probably cheaper to just park on the
road in this area as it costs
£5.40 for three hours parking'. However, there are a number of
restricted parking zones around the stadium so be careful where you
park.
Andreas Iona adds; 'South
Africa Road running past the stadium, closes to traffic one
hour before kick-off on all matchdays. The Police enforce the
road closure which remains in place until approximately 15
minutes after kick-off. At the end of the game a similar closure is
implemented 15 minutes before the end of the game and lasts
for approximately one hour. Supporters are advised to avoid parking in
the few pay and display bays available in Dorando Close as they face
a long wait to get out at the end of the game due to the above
closure'. Pubs
Around Shepherds Bush
Green is O'Neills and Walkabout which are both okay for away fans. To find
Shepherds Bush Green; exit Shepherds Bush Market
Underground (the Hammersmith & City line
station), turn left out of
the station and the green is a short way down the road on the
right.
Diagonally across Shepherds Bush
Green opposite the Central line entrance to
Shepherds Bush Underground Station, is a retail complex
called Vue, which upstairs includes a Wetherspoons outlet. Please note that alcohol is not available in the away end.
By Train/Tube
The nearest
tube station is White City on the Central Line, which is about a five
minute walk away. Also nearby (a little further along Wood Lane opposite the
BBC Television Centre) is the recently opened Wood Lane Station, which is on
the Hammersmith & City line. It is around a seven minute walk away
from Loftus Road.
Otherwise there are two other tube stations
close by; Shepherds Bush Market on the Hammersmith & City line
and Shepherds Bush on the Central Line. The former is about a ten
minute walk away from the ground, whilst the other is about 15
minutes. Personally I tend to use Shepherds Bush Market tube
station, simply because there seems to be more pubs around this
area, especially around Shepherds Bush Green. Leaving both Shepherds
Bush tube stations; turn right and the ground will come into
view further down on the right. Please note that Queens Park
tube station is nowhere near the ground!.
The nearest train
station is Shepherds Bush, which is adjacent to the tube station.
However, it is not directly served by any of the major London
mainline stations. However trains from
Watford Junction and Clapham Junction both stop
there.
