Ulver Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I haven't been to Upton Park for years, the year we beat em 4-1 or 4-2 with Super Tom scoring a bramer to be exact My memory is a bit hazy but I seem to recall it being a massive ballache waiting for the tube back into Euston. Anyone walked to a different tube stop before and if so any tips/directions welcome Also. Any decent pubs nearby ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeVilla82 Posted August 13, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted August 13, 2012 It's about a 30 minute walk back to Stratford International station (next to the Olympic Park, so nice and quiet now!), and from there you can jump on the Javelin train to St Pancras. They run every 8 minutes, and take 6 minutes - unbelievably quick. Euston is a 10 minute walk from St Pancras. Doesn't sound that convenient, but if the weather's nice, it's better than queuing for ages to get on the District line which takes forever, then changing in central London.

ChrisVillan Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I walked to Plaistow once, I don't remember it being particularly awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 One of the most unenjoyable journeys to and from an away game I can think of For those driving, I would suggest parking at the Tesco extra which is about 2 miles north east of the ground on the north circular ( I think) from there it's a 30 min walk along newham high st to the Boleyn ground So glad I cannot make this game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulver Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 I'm thinking of heading to East Ham tube after the match. Hopefully they have less of a queue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
