BEFORE YOU SET OFF

Put your trip together

01 · Arrive

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.

02 · Before the match

North Stand Bar & away catering

0-minute walk to the ground. This is the dependable ground-side option: the away bar sits before the North Stand turnstiles and is dressed in the visiting club’s colours. Away catering and concourse kiosks mean you can arrive direct without trying home-only pubs nearby. The North Stand is split between home and away fans from 2026/27, so older guides showing the whole end as away accommodation are obsolete. Allocation varies by fixture.

03 · Stay or head home?

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.

WHERE TO STAY

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.

    London Bridge station is around a 9-minute walk away, then South Bermondsey is a direct 4-5 minute train ride.

    Bear in mind: It is not a sensible walk-to-the-ground hotel; the recommendation depends on using the London Bridge-South Bermondsey rail link.

    More about this choice

    Recent reviews repeatedly praise clean rooms, comfortable beds and helpful staff.

    The hotel is staffed 24/7 and has air-conditioned standard double rooms.

    Peckham High Street/Rye Lane gives far more food and local nightlife than the immediate stadium area.

    It is a genuine budget-band option compared with the SE1 primary choices.

    It is less convenient than London Bridge/Borough for a central-London evening.

    Dynamic Travelodge pricing can move sharply on Friday and Saturday nights.

    The 1.1-mile published proximity figure is not the same as a 1.1-mile pedestrian route.
