Additionally, there are private match day car parks available at some industrial units near the ground, as well as schools close to the stadium that offer parking for a fee.If you prefer to take the train, the nearest station is Watford High Street, a ten-minute walk away from the ground. Watford Junction train station is about a 20-minute walk and the London Underground tube station is also an option for transport to Vicarage Road.For those looking for a drink before the match, the ‘Odd Fellows’ (previously called ‘Macs Bar’) in Fearnley Street is recommended. It’s a short walk from the ground and easily visible when traveling to Vicarage Road from the town center.
