Getting to The Kuflink Stadium

By Road
Exit the M25 at Junction 2 and take the A2 signposted Canterbury. Leave the A2 at the Northfleet/Gravesend West junction. At roundabout, follow signs to Ebbsfleet International Station/A226 which will take you on to Thamesway and past Ebbsfleet International. The stadium is at the end of the road. For car parking see below or contact the club if you have specific parking needs (for example, disabled parking).

By Public Transport
The nearest Train Stations are Northfleet (take Gravesend service from Charing Cross, Waterloo East and London Bridge) and Ebbsfleet International. From Northfleet, go (more or less) straight ahead until you reach the main road. Turn left, walk to the bottom of the hill and the Stadium is on your right.

The high-speed rail service from London St Pancras to Ebbsfleet International (15-18 minutes journey time) will also take you to within walking distance of the Stadium. Proceed through Car Park C and out on to the roundabout where you will see the Stadium in front of you.

If you are staying in Gravesend, you can get a bus to the Stadium from Gravesend Station. Come out of the Station on the Town side and turn right. There are Bus stops just by the station – the 480/490 service will drop you outside the Stadium. Alternatively, take the FASTRACK “B” Service, which also serves Ebbsfleet International.

Parking

Ebbsfleet United’s own on-site car park has limited space and is available to those with seasonal car parking tickets.

There is limited space down side streets and Thamesway (between the station and the roundabout outside the Stadium) is designated a ‘Clearway’ and any cars parked along there are liable to be ticketed. There is also limited space available in surrounding residential streets.

Car Park C – Ebbsfleet Station

Ebbsfleet United would encourage all spectators to use Ebbsfleet International Station which offers secure matchday parking in its Car Park C for £3 cash only (valid from 12.30pm).

Drive into the left-hand barrier where a steward will issue a ticket to display in your window. (Note that if you get a ticket from the machine instead, you will be charged the full parking rate.)

It is just over five minutes walk from the Stadium and is the best bet for a parking space in the area. The club strongly advises use of this car park to avoid problems of vandalism or cars being ticketed. Please aid the gate staff by having small change to hand. High-value notes cannot be changed on the premises.
