About Twickenham
Twickenham is a riverside town on the west bank of the Thames, opposite Richmond. Its compact centre has shops, pubs and restaurants around Church Street and King Street, while the riverside has York House gardens and Eel Pie Island. To the north is the national rugby stadium, which brings big crowds on match days and for concerts.

Match days and events
On rugby match days and concert days, roads around the stadium are closed or very busy, and parking is restricted across a wide area. If you need a car on an event day:
- Book early. Demand is high before and after events.
- Agree a pick-up point outside the closures. Walking a short distance to a quieter street is usually faster than waiting in traffic.
- Allow extra time, even if your journey is not going near the stadium.
If you are a group going to the match, see our 6 seater taxi page.
Pick-up notes
The town centre has a one-way system and limited stopping on King Street and London Road. A side road is often easier. On residential streets in Strawberry Hill and Whitton, give your exact address and any access notes.
