G10 vs Barnes, Cheam, Chiswick

Start time – 12.45pm to end at 2.30pm latest

Please refer to the attached information that has pitch directions and address. With Hammersmith Bridge being shut and roadworks around Richmond on the A316 it has impacted traffic around us and the car park by the pitch and the surrounding area can get really busy. So please advise your parents to take that into account. It is an option to park by Barnes Bridge station and walk over Barnes Bridge round to our pitch. It is a 5 minute walk.

Address: Dukes Meadows, Dan Mason Drive, Chiswick W4 2SH

Entrance to the pitch is in the top right-hand corner of the car park. The pitch is ONLY accessible through the car park. Please note that car parking can get very busy at Dukes Meadows in prime times at weekends so if you can parking in Barnes by Barnes Bridge station and walking or cycling over the bridge is strongly advised. There is an underpass from the north side of Barnes Bridge taking you under the railway to exit on Dan Mason Drive – turn left and you will see the car park with yellow bar gate to the car park in front of the hockey pitch - making the walk from Barnes to the pitch 5 minutes.
Please do not leave anything visible in your cars when using the car park. Users of the car park do so at their own risk. Some parking bays on Dan Mason Drive and Dukes Meadows are paid parking so please check any Council signage carefully.

Directions by car: Please be reminded that the TFL Roadworks around the Richmond area and on A316 are causing significant traffic challenges is using the A316 into London so please advise your parents to seek alternative routes or allow extra time. Using A3 and parking in Barnes then walking over Barnes Bridge may be better.
