Plan your Charlton Athletic away day

The Valley is one of London's simplest rail grounds. Greenwich offers the fuller day out, while Charlton station provides a quick, direct match route.

01

Direct Charlton

Arrive at Charlton station, use the Angerstein if it suits your route and walk to the Jimmy Seed entrance.

02

Greenwich day

Eat or sightsee around Greenwich, then take the short train or bus to Charlton.

03

Woolwich overnight

Stay around Woolwich or Greenwich for better hotel choice and use rail or bus for the final leg.

A sensible 3pm plan

11:00 - arrive in Greenwich for food, the market or the riverside.

13:00 - take the short train to Charlton or move to the mapped Angerstein route.

13:35 - reach the Jimmy Seed entrance and allow time for a busy concourse.

17:00 onwards - use Charlton station when the first crowd eases or walk towards Greenwich while local roads clear.

Food and pubs

The Angerstein Hotel is the mapped away-friendly pub and Greenwich is the broader check-first alternative. The Royal Oak and Rose of Denmark are home-only; the historically popular Anchor & Hope remains listed but clearly marked closed, with the Jimmy Seed concourse available after entry.

Things to do

The Cutty Sark, National Maritime Museum and Greenwich Market make Greenwich the natural sightseeing base. The Thames Path also provides a pleasant early route before the short onward rail or bus journey to Charlton.
