Travel
Car Parking:
Parking at or around Twickenham Stadium on match days is very limited. Many of the roads are for resident permit holders only and any unauthorised vehicles will be towed away. On-site car parking is extremely limited and is pre-allocated for international matches. Parking is generally available on site for non-international matches and Concerts if booked in advance. Our off-site car park is called Rosebine Avenue and is next to the Harlequins Ground (TW2 7SX) on the A316. This is approximately 8 to 10 minutes walk to the stadium and is by far the easiest car park to get out of at the end of an event. To pre-book car parking please email tickets@rfu.com for a booking form, detailing which event you are attending. Prices and opening/closing times will vary according to the event as will the location of the car park. Please note that pre-bookings will close at 1pm on the Wednesday before a weekend event or the Friday before a mid week event.
