What is Craven Cottage like? Although now an all-seated stadium, Craven Cottage still has a somewhat old- fashioned feel to it – particularly in the Johnny Haynes Stand, where there are a number of supporting pillars and old wooden seating in the upper tier.

Away fans are housed on one side of the Putney End Stand on the river side of the ground. Due to the building of the new Riverside Stand, up to 1,500 travelling supporters can be accommodated.

Food on offer includes a range of pies, as well as cheeseburgers and hot dogs.

Directions Leaving the M25 at Junction 10, take the A3 towards Central London before turning onto the A219 towards Putney. Continue straight on this road – through Putney High Street and crossing Putney Bridge – and the stadium is on your left.

Car parking Parking near to Craven Cottage can be difficult due to most areas being pay-and- display and restricted to one hour. However, there are alternatives further away from the ground, so be sure to arrive nice and early on matchday.

By train The nearest London Underground station is Putney Bridge on the District Line, which is approximately 15 minutes from Craven Cottage.

Alternatively, on the Piccadilly Line, Hammersmith is about a 20-minute walk from the stadium.

In the event that you wish to avoid the Tube, Putney National Rail Station can be reached from Waterloo and Clapham Junction. Again, it should take between 15 and 20 minutes to walk to Craven Cottage.

Overall, the journey from Swansea takes between four-and-a-half to five hours on average.
