Go by tube to West Ham tube station. Leave by the station's only exit - there is a map on the wall which shows the clubhouse as East London Rugby Club. Turn left out of the station and walk down Memorial Avenue, a residential street. Follow the road as it bends sharply to the left, where it turns into Holland Road. Turn right at the end and you will see the club's car park. If you are still walking 5 minutes after leaving the station you have probably made a wrong turning!

Directions by Road:

From central London:
take the Limehouse Link and join the A13 by turning left at the Esso petrol station. Head east on the A13, turning left just before the Canning Town flyover. Go north on to A1011, Manor Road, signposted for Stratford. Turn right about a mile later, just before West Ham station, into Memorial Avenue. The road bends left and then sharp right at the end into the car park. There is ample free parking by the clubhouse but parking restrictions are enforced 7 days a week on the streets near the club. Please slow down as you approach the club, children often play in the street.

From south of the River Thames:
The club is close to the Blackwall tunnel. Use the slow lane through the tunnel, then take the second turn-off just after a bus stop. This takes you on to the A13, and within a mile of the Canning Town flyover (see above).

For the northern end of the Rotherhithe tunnel, turn left, left and left again around The White Swan pub on to the Limehouse link (see above).
