Stamford Bridge away guide

Chelsea away end

You're in the Shed End, the goal end at the south of the ground, across both tiers, so check which one your ticket is for before you pick a queue. Entrances open around 90 minutes before kick-off. Accessible seating for away fans is in the Shed Lower, reached through Dickie's Deck to the left of the East Stand concourse, where there is a railed ramp and the away end's only lift.

Stamford Bridge bag policy

A4 only at Stamford Bridge, and Chelsea give the exact numbers: 30cm by 20cm by 10cm, about a standard handbag. Anything bigger does not come in, and the club run no storage of their own. There is an independent bag drop at Fulham Broadway Shopping Centre, which Chelsea point to but do not vouch for. Megastore purchases come in clear bags and are exempt.

Checked 8 Aug 2026 against Chelsea bag size restrictions for matchdays.

Getting to Stamford Bridge: nearest station

Fulham Broadway (District line) is 2 minutes from the away turnstiles. West Brompton is a quieter exit to head for after the final whistle if Fulham Broadway is held shut for crowd control.

  • Earl's Court pubsChelsea's own suggestion for visiting fans, about a 25 to 30 minute walk from the ground, or a couple of stops back on the District line
  • The White Horse (Parsons Green)Roomy 'Sloaney Pony' a walk out from the ground, quieter than anything closer, no stated policy either way
  • The CrabtreeRiverside pub, 15-min walk but worth it for the beer garden
  • The GooseBig pub on Fulham High Street, but it is inside the ring Chelsea describe as home-only, so do not count on getting in wearing colours
