Plan your Fulham away day
Craven Cottage rewards a simple riverside plan: arrive through Putney Bridge or Hammersmith, use only a correctly categorised pub and walk through Bishops Park to the Putney End.

Hammersmith alternative
Use the broader transport hub and walk along Fulham Palace Road, keeping enough time for the final residential approach.
Riverside overnight
Stay in Putney, Fulham or Hammersmith for an easy return and a Thames-side morning.
A sensible 3pm plan
11:45 - arrive at Putney Bridge, Putney or Hammersmith.
12:00-13:35 - use an away-friendly mapped venue or enjoy the riverside.
13:40 - walk through Bishops Park to the Putney End entrance shown on the ticket.
17:00 onwards - return to Putney Bridge or continue to Hammersmith if the District line queue is heavy.
Food and pubs
The Eight Bells and Kings Arms are mapped away-friendly. The Golden Lion and The Crabtree are marked home-only, while the Putney End concourse is the visitor option after entry.
Things to do
Bishops Park and the Thames Path sit beside the ground. Putney Embankment, Hammersmith Bridge and the Fulham Palace grounds suit an earlier arrival without adding a central-London detour.
Hotels near the stadium
These options keep the final matchday journey relatively short. Compare event-night prices, parking and cancellation terms before booking.
Central hotels
A central base is usually better for the station, food and the evening after the match.
Travel, parking, ticket allocations and stadium procedures can change by fixture. Check the latest information from both clubs and the relevant operator before travelling. Guide checked 3 October 2026.
