| How To Get To Watford Fc From London |
Your Chariot Awaits: Train, Tube, Bus, or Batmobile (Not Recommended)
Train: This is your golden snitch, the Usain Bolt of getting to Watford. Buckle up for a speedy 20-minute journey on the train from London Euston to Watford Junction. Easy peasy. From there, it's a gentle 20-minute stroll to Vicarage Road, or you can hop on the number 10 bus if you're feeling a bit peckish (because who doesn't love a bus journey with a pasty in hand?).
Tube: The trusty London Underground's Metropolitan Line will take you all the way to Watford station. However, be warned, this is a slightly longer trek - think Mo Farah warming up, not sprinting to the finish. You're looking at about a 20-minute walk from the station.
Bus: If you're on a budget or just fancy a scenic tour (because, let's face it, London to Watford isn't exactly the Grand Canyon), there are several buses that will get you there. Just be prepared to make some new best friends along the way (because buses are basically rolling social clubs).
QuickTip: Read a little, pause, then continue.
Batmobile: While undeniably stylish, this option comes with a few drawbacks. A) Parking might be a nightmare. B) You might get arrested. C) It's a Batmobile, have you seen the gas mileage on those things?
Top Tip: Always check for any potential engineering works before you travel. Nobody likes a last-minute platform change that throws a spanner in the works (unless you're a mechanic, I guess).
Vicarage Road Virgin? Here's the Lowdown

QuickTip: Treat each section as a mini-guide.
