There is parking at the college before and on the grass just after the stadium entrance. It's £6 for the college and has a direct walk through to the ground. The larger car park at the Stoop was closed last home game (hard to believe I know) and I'm not sure if it'll be open this time, so best not to assume it'll be okay.

There are usually some food stall options at the ground which aren't terrible. Probably more expensive than you're used to (I'm still surprised at the price of food and drink when I get to the DW compared to the £toop)

And there's plenty of good cultural and historical sites to visit in the area, if you can suggest them to the players rather than going on the field we'd be most obliged

so no ground parking? better keep my eye out for this college then, expecting it to be busy with the 7's on across the way at twickenham

There might be, just warning that last time I had to park right by the turning into the stadium under a tree!

It's Richmond Upon Thames College, and is the turning before the stadium, after the roundabout and pedestrian traffic lights.

Advice: please don't be too smug - it has been a long hard season! But well done to the Giants!

From the club website-

The resurfacing works have now been completed on The Stoop car park so parking will be as usual in the car park behind the North stand. The Rosebine car park will be unavailable due to the World Cup Sevens are taking place at Twickenham Stadium. Please arrive early to avoid the added congestion in the area.

I assume the Richmond Upon Thames College car park on Egerton Road (just before The Stoop car park) is open (usually £6 for RL) although I'll get public transport this time to avoid the scramble for parking. FWIW the Rosebine car park (just after The Stoop car park) is £5 for RL & £25 for all other Twickenham events . All car park entrances are off the A316 Chertsey Road.

Hoping for some news about the future of the club as well and not the usual information vacuum the fans seem to have become accustomed to.

Yep. It's £27.75 for each car for the CC final, pre-booked.
