Orient away; travel and parking

I can't see any thread about this so far.

So with no trains, travel becomes a problem for a lot of us. However I do believe there are tubes running.

So 2 options for us it appears:

1. Drive all the way. But was is parking like? is there any? 

2. Drive somewhere and get a tube. Maybe the O2 and jubilee line to Stratford which I believe is about 1.5 miles away. Hopefully we can get in the Underground car park there, Any comments? 

Any other suggestions or comments (sensible please!) would be welcome.

    Should be able to get a DLR from Woolwich Arsenal to Stratford, and it’s then one stop on the Central Line to Leyton.

    I've driven & parked before - never again. It's like Gillingham but only worse. Lots of side streets but parking very limited (especially on Boxing Day I would have thought with people having visitors). I think last time I parked infront of a shop but that was an evening game.

    The coach & Horses nearest the away end (on Leyton high road is a home one pub (no away fans). Recommend the Red Lion Pub Leytonstone High Road ( 2 min walk from Leytonstone station- one stop from Leyton on Central line)

    All the parking in the local area and a fair bit beyond is residents only permit parking, not sure if it’s being enforced. I’m in the fortunate position that due to my job my work vehicle has permit for the area so I’ll be parking close by. 

    I suppose an option would be parking at Westfield but bear in mind how busy that will be with Boxing Day sales on.

    Just taken your advice and booked a space on that website.

    Life saver as I was totally unaware of the parking restrictions and would’ve just turned up and panicked!

    Are there parking restrictions though? Am I reading it right that all parking bays are suspended? Does they include those in the CPZ??

    For those travelling on the jubilee from west of Bermondsey you’ll probably be sharing a carriage with those going to Millwall v QPR which also starts at 1pm

    good idea. However likely to take you more than 22 minutes to walk, it's about an hour and a half. Also beware shopping traffic around Stratford

    Can’t be much more than a mile and half in distance. 30 minutes should be okay.
