* London KX-Waterloo by tube. Victoria Line to Oxford Circus then Bakerloo line to Waterloo. Journey time around 25 minutes. Then take the first train to Farnborough from Waterloo - regular trains on this route.

Cheap train tickets tip
The cheapest way I can find of travelling to Farnborough is to get a £19 advance ticket on GNER to London (these tickets normally sell out weeks in advance so book early). Then on the day get a London-Farnborough day return ticket.


(Times for journey back assume you want to watch the England game which kicks off at 3pm. Fans are welcome in Farnborough's club).

Frimley station is the closest to the ground but this is not recommended as it's just on a local line. Farnborough main is about 25 minutes walk away, so a taxi is recommended. If you do wish to walk then turn right along Union Street. At the end of Union Street turn right into Prospect Road. This road leads into Cherrywood Road for the ground.
