Twickenham parking
Discussion
My family live 400 yards from the ground and I visited on the day of the try out match when they closed local roads and ran the shuttle bus services.
Unless you are a resident YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DRIVE TO THE GROUND.
The A316 chertsey road is closed from the hospital bridge roundabout to the currie motors roundabout, you can't go down it nor knellar road etc. if this doesn't mean anything to you basically you are locked out.
You can either go to a park and ride along the Chertsey and a bus will shuttle you to the ground or park in somewhere like Whitton or Hounslow in a residential street without restrictions and walk. The closest you'll get us behind Whitton High Street, that's 20 minutes, Hounslow and Isleworth are further.
I'll be there too but I've a special a Rugby ball shaped parking permit! You can't have one.
It's pretty much a no go zone for about a 1 and a half mile radius.
Carnage.

Good Luck !!!
It's going to be carnage driving around Twickenham on match days for the duration of the world cup, the local council/coppers are due to close most of the roads surrounding the stadium
Lifted from England Rugby Site:
Can I park at Twickenham Stadium?
Parking at or around Twickenham Stadium on match days is very limited. Many of the roads are for resident permit holders only and any unauthorised vehicles will be towed away. On-site car parking is extremely limited and is normally pre-allocated for international matches. Parking is generally available on site for non-international matches and Concerts if booked in advance.

Never done it before myself but I've seen some park at the harlequins ground, the stoop for big games at twickenham! It's not too far away, just down the road really.
However unless you really need to drive I would park outside and get public transport, it'll be a ballache
I think the A316 around the Stoop will be closed. I was told the parking fields next to the Stoop will be used for coach parking.However unless you really need to drive I would park outside and get public transport, it'll be a ballache
You could see if Nuffield next to the Stoop are doing a free 7 day trial and sign up for it Friday morning then park there until you need to leave.
Try Percy Road on the way into Whitton. Approaching from the M3 direction, should be able to park for free along the side of the road. If you get to the train station then you have gone too far. Somewhere near Dhiman Dental is good (TW2 6JS).
I have been parking here for 10years and never failed to get a spot. Easy to get in and out as well.

Chap from my work went recently to watch Rugby League, used the site below and highly rated it!

Some good tips here.
I know the area very well as I lived there for 26 years, but the RFU and police have got this well and truly sewn up.
On the try out day I literally could not get to my folks, they live on Gladstone Ave, I begged and pleaded but they wouldn't let me onto the Chertsey and I tried every back double I know so forget about the stoop unless you've booked.
As a poster said, Whitton is your best bet if you've not booked parking. Get there real early, turn off the 316 at the Hospital Bridge roundabout then get to Whitton High Street. hang a left off there and find some on street with no restrictions ( make sure there aren't any) then it's a 20/25 minute walk to the Stadium.
Don't try and get clever thinking you can park at Tesco, Nuffield or at the Winning post because it's a no go area.

Possibly try Shepperton, as well as buses from Kempton Park there are a few trains operating direct to Twickenham and back after the game. They start and finish at Shepperton and don't stop at any intermediate station other than Kempton Park.
Direct trains leave Shepperton on Friday at 16:51, 17:21 and 17:51 and take 16 minutes
There are 4 direct trains back leaving Twickenham at 2231, 2301, 2331, and 0001, these take 15 minutes.
As for Feltham, the trains originating at Reading are frequently very busy on match days, Windsor trains tend to be a little quieter. Can't see how it's not going to be a nightmare on Friday with normal commuters and rugby fans on the trains, and the closure of the A316 I think there hoping everyone will get there early for the ceremony.
If you are thinking of driving and parking in Teddington or Strawberry Hill and walking, I'd take the A308 towards Kingston off the M3/A316 and then drive up through Hampton Hill or Bushy Park, The A316 is going to be closed from 4pm so there will be lots of traffic backed up. If you do that there are a couple of ways of getting across the railway other than the station and the A316, the footbridge at the end of Marsh Farm Lane is probably the quickest and easiest one though and that takes you right to the stadium.

Pugwash, I went from Bristol to the Ireland game a couple of weeks ago
Stick with the M4, off at J3/A312 south and over to the A4 heading east.Couple of miles then turn right onto the B464 then onto the A3004. Park in one of the side streets and walk to the ground about 15 - 20 mins. Only bit of traffic was on the A4 closer to Heathrow. Got back to the M4 in about 40 mins going home as well

I live in St Margarets, and today the council put up signs for new CPZs around the wide open deserted roads that all the rugby punters normally park on if coming from central London. Great move so close to the rugby world cup.
We are about 50m outside the new CPZ (which goes live on the 18th) and never received a letter or any warning. Ideal when you have 2 cars and 1 parking space and there are soon to be hundreds of cars wanting to park on the now single unrestricted street.
