Vicarage Road away guide

Watford away end

The away allocation sits in the Graham Taylor Stand (old Vicarage Road End), Lower Tier, behind the goal. The block runs across the lower deck. Watford typically offer around 2,000 to 2,500 away seats for league fixtures. Away turnstiles are off Vicarage Road, signposted on the walk in from the High Street.

Vicarage Road bag policy

Vicarage Road operates an A4 bag policy. Bags bigger than A4 are not permitted into the ground unless taken to the bag drop and searched.

Checked 26 May 2026 against Watford visiting information.

Getting to Vicarage Road: nearest station

Watford High Street (Overground) is about a 10-minute walk to the away turnstiles and the closer of the two stations. Watford Junction (Overground and National Rail) is a 20-minute walk but has direct services from Euston, useful if you're coming from further afield. The ground shares its streets with Watford General Hospital, so the area gets busy on matchday, factor that in.
