West Ham

From Kings Cross you catch the tube to Upton Park (not West Ham). You'll need a One Day Travelcard Zones 1-4. The Hammersmith and City line takes you all the way there, but it's not a very frequent service. It's usually quicker to jump on the first train that comes and change at Liverpool Street (Central line) and Mile End.

The Yorkshire Mags usually congregate in the Duke of Edinburgh before the game. It's not the greatest pub in the world, but it's handy for the tube station - turn left as you come out the station and it's a couple of hundred yards down the road on the opposite side. The pub gets really busy after about an hour and a half before kick-off and it can take for ever to get served. So before this happens get yourself one of those four pint jugs that they sell. It'll save you money as well! It's then a good ten minute walk to the ground. Alternatives to the Duke of Edinburgh, particularly if you drive down, are the Central, the Denmark Arms and the Millers Well (Wetherspoons), all on Barking Road and all supposedly ok for away fans. The Central is actually much closer to the away turnstiles than the Duke of Edinburgh. Something that's a bit different is to get off the tube at Plaistow and head for the Black Lion. Although a bit of a hike from the ground, the Black Lion has a good selection of hand-pulled beer.

You don't want to hang about getting back to the tube station after the game or you'll find yourself at the back of a massive queue.
