The basic route is the M6, M42, M1, M25, M11 and A406 (north circular road). Take the A406 to the A124 (East Ham).

Then on Barking Road for approximately one-and-a-half miles until you approach the traffic lights on cross-roads.

Turn right into Green Street & the ground is on the right hand side., through Barking and then to East Ham.

Parking
There is little off-road parking on match days. The best areas to look for spaces are roads left of Barking Road, once you are past the lights at East Ham Town Hall.
