Matchday parking at The Den
For sat-nav, use The Den, John Berylson Way, London SE16 3LN. From the A2 and Old Kent Road, approach via Ilderton Road, but aim for your booked parking address rather than the stadium itself.

Your route into The Den
For the away end, use South Bermondsey station and the dedicated visiting-supporters walkway. It leads towards the North Stand, where the away ticket office and turnstiles are located. Follow the signs and stewards rather than heading for Millwall's main reception or home turnstiles. The North Stand has been divided between home and visiting supporters for 2026/27. Your match ticket and visiting club's fixture guide are the best guide to the particular gate, especially when travelling from a car park rather than along the station walkway. If you need accessible entry, contact your visiting club before travelling and follow the North Stand accessible entrance arrangements provided for your match.
Away Fans’ Guide | Millwall (A), October 2024 ↗Parking & park-and-ride
Free parking is possible at weekends, but arrive early and keep a paid fallback. Southwark's South East Bermondsey parking zone operates Monday to Friday, so properly signed ordinary bays can be free on Saturdays and Sundays. For a weekday match, especially when you need to park before 6.30pm, booking is the safer choice. Try the marked bays on Camilla Road, SE16 3NL, rather than driving aimlessly around The Den. The council identifies bays on both sides; allow longer to reach the North Stand than from South Bermondsey station. Do not assume the away-only railway walkway can be joined from the road. Check the sign on your exact bay. Disabled bays, double yellow lines, loading restrictions and suspensions remain in force. Nearby Ilderton Road and estate parking should not be treated as unrestricted without a separate check. If Camilla Road is full, use a booked, authorised space through JustPark or YourParkingSpace. Listings include private spaces around Gerards Close and St James Road, but check the actual address, walking route, cancellation terms and entry arrangements before paying. Prices and availability vary. For free street parking, arrive at least 90 minutes before kick-off and allow four hours for the visit. Do not use Surrey Quays Shopping Centre as football parking: its three-hour maximum is too short for a normal match visit, and permission for stadium users has not been established. On weekday evenings, South East Bermondsey's 8.30am–6.30pm controls still affect an early arrival. Do not assume bank-holiday exemptions. If there is no suitable bay, go straight to your planned paid fallback or park farther out and travel by rail.
Controlled parking zones (CPZs) ↗Choose your base before your hotel
Stay around London Bridge or Borough if you are making a weekend of Millwall. You can reach South Bermondsey directly by train from London Bridge, and these areas provide much more choice for dinner and a drink than the immediate streets around The Den.

For sat-nav, use The Den, John Berylson Way, London SE16 3LN. From the A2 and Old Kent Road, approach via Ilderton Road, but aim for your booked parking address rather than the stadium itself. General visiting-supporter parking is not provided at the ground.
Coming from the south, Millwall's directions take you through New Cross, Kender Street and Old Kent Road before turning onto Ilderton Road. From the north, the club gives a route via Tower Bridge or Elephant and Castle to Old Kent Road.
Allow extra time for traffic and matchday crowd controls. Check TfL for any applicable London vehicle charges and the latest roadworks before setting off; a proposed road scheme is not proof that a particular closure is in force.

- Weekend potential in correctly signed SEB permit/visitor bays on Galleywall Road, but no recent matchday space evidence; not a first-choice promise
- Legal restrictions — Galleywall Road
- SEB Monday–Friday 08:30–18:30; 2020 notice includes permit bays on southwest side by numbers 44–46 and 52–54, with other controlled and no-waiting stretches
- Free option — Lynton Road
- Weekend potential in correctly signed SEB ordinary bays on Lynton Road, not all stretches; individual signs and bay markings govern

- YourParkingSpace listing advertises about 15-minute walk to stadium; exact walk to North Stand can differ

- Planning recommendation: at least 90 minutes before kick-off to allow street search and a longer approach; not an independently observed occupancy cut-off
- Paid fallback
- Pre-book an authorised private parking product near The Den through JustPark or YourParkingSpace; Gerards Close has a listed bookable space
- Booking recommendation
- Booking removes the need to find a free street bay and secures access under that listing’s terms; exact address, allocation and guarantees depend on the provider/listing
- Supermarket permission/time limit
- Surrey Quays shopping centre Redriff Road: up to 3 hours free, no return within 2 hours; any excess may trigger a parking charge; football-spectator permission not confirmed
- Total dwell time
- Allow at least four hours: 60–90 min pre-match, two walks, 90 min play plus interval/stoppage time and time to get back; longer for cup extra time or crowd holds
- After the match
- Police/steward segregation may affect routes; booked spaces farther from stadium can avoid searching among crowds but do not guarantee a quick exit

Where to stay
Stay around London Bridge or Borough if you are making a weekend of Millwall. You can reach South Bermondsey directly by train from London Bridge, and these areas provide much more choice for dinner and a drink than the immediate streets around The Den. Bankside is another sensible central base within reach of London Bridge. It suits supporters who want sightseeing or an evening out as well as the football, although rooms may cost more than a basic hotel farther south. Peckham can work if price matters more than being close to central London, but check the actual journey to the away end before booking. For a daytime match with a comfortable return train, there is no reason to book a hotel simply because the stadium is in London.
Away Fans’ Guide | Millwall (A), October 2024 ↗Choose London Bridge/Borough/Bankside for the strongest all-round football weekend: simple match access, major rail connections and a proper evening district. Choose Peckham instead when being closer to The Den and keeping the room bill down matter more than having central-London nightlife on the doorstep.
For the evening
Borough Market, London Bridge and Bankside form the strongest nearby overnight food-and-drink cluster. There are pubs, bars and restaurants across Borough High Street, Borough Market and the streets towards Bankside, with late options that are much broader than around The Den. Peckham High Street/Rye Lane is the useful more-local alternative.
For the train
London Bridge is the key rail base for a Millwall stay: direct trains reach South Bermondsey in about 4-5 minutes. From South Bermondsey the stadium is only a short walk, although post-match crowd management can slow the return.
