Fares - you should buy yourself a zones 1&2 Day Travelcard at a cost of

the central area - plus all London buses.


I cannot thank you all enough!!

I was wondering if there was any bus to get to the Fulham Broadway area
at first to enjoy the views since is my first time visiting London. I'll
take the tube to get to the King's Cross Station when the match is over.


You could take a river ferry from Blackfriars to Chelsea Harbour, and then
walk or bus the remaining mile from there to Stamford Bridge. However, the
ferry, being mainly for commuters, only runs mondays to fridays, and the
only sailings are at 1710, 1820, and 1910. There might be pleasure boats
that sail that route at other times, i'm not sure. I should mention that
ferries aren't really within the travelcard system - a travelcard gives
you a discount on the fare, not a free ride. If you wanted to do this, you
could get from KX to Blackfriars by bus, or the Thameslink railway line.

As for buses to Fulham, not a clue, but look for one which goes down the
King's Road, or along the Chelsea Embankment, as those will be the most
visually appealing routes, i think.
