SEATING ALLOCATION

Improvements to the stadium in 2002 transformed The Valley into a 27,000 capacity stadium with up to around 3,000 away fans able to be housed in the Jimmy Seed South Stand. Food, drinks and toilet facilities are all located in the concourse below the stand.

TRAVELLING TO THE VALLEY

Supporters are advised to check traffic and travel times for journeys to the stadium as there can be a build up around the venue.

Many of the streets near the stadium have parking restrictions, and supporters should plan journeys in advance and pay particular attention around parking restrictions near the ground. Parking is extremely limited nearby. 

The nearest tube station to the stadium is North Greenwich which is approximately two miles away. However, buses run from North Greenwich to stops near the stadium. Supporters taking this route should look out for buses: 472, 486, 161, 177, and 180.

BY TRAIN

Supporters travelling to the match by train should head to Charlton Station, which is just a three-minute walk from the stadium. There are no direct trains from Swansea and supporters will most likely have to change at both London Paddington and Abbey Wood.

PARKING

Supporters should be aware that parking is now limited to two hours between 9am and 6.30pm on Monday to Saturday on most roads within a mile of The Valley. Please pay attention to parking restrictions and information.

Parking is available to book through our parking partners Big Parking HERE.

Charlton also recommend pre-booking through the JustPark website. These options are predominantly private individuals renting out their driveways for the afternoon and prices vary considerably. JustPark also offers the opportunity to pre-book parking in the ASDA car park on Bugsby’s Way (about a 15-minute walk to The Valley) at £9 for a full day.

PUBS FOR AWAY FANS

The Angerstein Hotel on Woolwich Road – a 15-minute walk from the stadium – is generally considered to be the best for away supporters though another option is the Anchor & Hope – also 15 minutes from the stadium.

Away fans travelling by train sometimes choose to stop at Blackheath and go to the bars there before continuing their journey.
