Getting to the ground
There are a few ways to get to the ground from Kings Cross. The quickest,
easiest and cheapest with a
journey time of 27 minutes, is undoubtedly the half-hourly (5 and 35 minutes
past the hour) Thameslink service from St Pancras to Norwood Junction. Having
said that, it leaves you with best part of a 20 minute walk to the nearest pub
that'll let away fans in. Other options are:
- via Victoria to Thornton Heath or Selhurst (five services an hour, around 42
minutes journey time to Thornton Heath, 45 to Selhurst)
- via
Stockwell and Balham to Thornton Heath or Selhurst (five services an hour,
journey times as above)
- via London Bridge to Norwood Junction (four an hour, around 42 minutes)
Norwood Junction is a 10 minute walk from the ground, whereas the other two are
15 minutes away. Your best bet is probably to travel out to Thornton Heath for the pubs (see below), then back from
Norwood Junction (make sure you catch a fast train, not a stopper). The trains back are as follows:
