Man Behind the Mask

I think I was probably at that match, too. Twickenham is fully stocked with bars and food, both around the actual stadium and outside the gates by the West Car Park. If you're by the Royal Box, then you'll be on that side of the ground. Prices are steep, but not too bad (e.g. WAY lower than Wembley), and the queues are unpleasant but bearable. The ground is by a dual-carriageway in a residential area, so there's not too much immediately close by. The town centre and train station are a 10 minute walk, and there are a few pubs there (coming out of the train station you actually go away from the stadium to get to anywhere interesting). Richmond is slightly bigger and has better pubs. They normally lay on complementary buses from Richmond, or it's a 20-30 minute walk alongside the dual-carriageway. Good luck with finding a way to get there. The big problem, as it looks like you've found, is that it will be rammed. You generally need to book in advance for a car park space (organised coaches are your friend (Y) ), and it can sometimes take a couple of hours to fight your way back into the train station as everyone leaves together. Pubs might not be too bad as there's nothing on elsewhere.
