Stadium Info
The Fans Stadium Kingsmeadow has three terraced stands with only the Paul Strank Main Stand being all seated. The gradiant on the John Smiths and Tempest End terraces allow for good views of the action and there are no supporting pillars throughout the ground. All stands are covered and the Kingston Road End roof has been extended to cover more than 90% of the stand whilst the steps have been raised to improve the view.
Away Fans
Visiting fans are situated at the north end of the John Smiths Terrace. Up to 900 fans can be accommodated here although a very small amount of seats can be made available for elderly or partially disabled. The views from this section are very good. There are two bars in the ground and unless the game is all ticket, away fans are welcome.
Where To Drink
There are a number of pubs in the surrounding areas. A lot of visiting fans tend to drink in Kingston town centre and get the bus to the ground. In the immediate vacinity you may want to try The Peel. It's situated on Kingston Road and does allow away fans in. The Cambridge Fish Bar also on Kingston Road and a 2 minute stroll from the ground, is definately worth a visit. Alternatively, the club now sell fresh hot pizza within the stadium.
Parking
There is a relatively short supply of parking spaces, as the immediate area surrounding the ground is all residential. To guarantee getting a good spot you'll need to arrive at least 45 minutes prior to the game. In my experience the best streets to look down are around Waters Road and Rosebury Road just to the north of the stadium.
By Train
The nearest / closest train station to AFC Wimbledon's Kingsmeadow stadium, is Norbiton and is less than a mile away. Trains run from Waterloo every 15 minutes via Clapham Junction and Wimbledon (terminating at Shepperton or Strawberry Hill). Leave the station via the back exit, and take the first left onto Norbiton Avenue. Turn right at the end onto Gloucester Road, and walk down to Kingston Road, turn left, and Kingsmeadow is 400 yards on the right. Alternatively, the number 131 bus stops right outside the ground.
