Directions to St Albans City

Directions

By Road

From The North (M1)
Leave the M1 at Junction 7 and take the M10 towards St Albans. At the end of the motorway, proceed straight across the first roundabout that you reach and at the next roundabout turn left onto the A1081 towards St Albans. Proceed along the A1081, until you reach a small roundabout a which you turn right into Alma Road (sign posted St Albans City Railway Station). Proceed up to the traffic lights (with the 'Horn' pub on your right hand side) and turn right into Victoria Street. Go up this road, passing the railway station on your left and continue to follow the road around to the left. At the next traffic lights (with the Crown pub on your right), go straight onto into Clarence Road. A short way up Clarence Road, turn left for the entrance to the Football & Cricket grounds.

Car Parking
There is little parking at the ground itself, although if you arrive early then you may be lucky. Otherwise there is plenty of on street parking in Clarence Road and in York Road (which is the next left after the entrance to the ground). Beware though that at the bottom of Clarence Road, that car parking is restricted to one hour pay and display and traffic wardens may be patrolling. There are no restrictions further up Clarence Road. Also there is a good sized car park at St Albans Railway Station which is a quarter of a mile away from the ground. It costs £2.50 to park there all day on Saturdays or after 5pm on weekday evenings.

By Rail

The nearest station is St Albans City, which is served by Thameslink trains from St Pancras and further south of London. Slow trains from London normally terminate at St Albans but fast trains go on to Luton or Bedford. The station is about a 5-10 minute walk away from the Clarence Park ground.

On coming out of the main station entrance (on the east side), turn left along Station Way. At the top of this road turn right into Hatfield Road. Go down to the traffic lights (where the Crown pub can be seen on one corner) and turn left into Clarence Road and then left again for the ground entrance. You may be interested to note the cricket pavilion on your right.

Alternatively, from the traffic lights, you could enter Clarence Park and take a short cut directly to the turnstiles.
