Where is the stadium in Enfield?
The Queen Elizabeth Stadium is on Donkey Lane, Enfield, EN1 3PL. Enfield Town FC also calls the ground the Dave Bryant Stadium.
The main pavilion dates to 1953. It is an Art Deco building designated Grade II that serves as the clubhouse, main stand and changing rooms. Opposite it, a small seated stand faces the pitch; covered terraces sit behind each goal, inside the running track. The track was reduced from eight lanes to six during refurbishment from 2008 to 2010.
How do you get to the stadium?
The stadium is about a 24-minute walk or an 8-minute drive from The Six Bells Hotel. The hotel offers a Six Bells Double Room.
Enfield Town and Southbury are the nearest rail stations to the ground, each around a 25-minute walk away. Brimsdown is another option; the 191 bus runs towards Edmonton. Enfield Chase is another option: from Enfield War Memorial bus stop CD, the 191 towards Brimsdown serves the route, or you can walk for about 30 minutes.
London bus routes 191, 217, 307, 317 and 456 stop within easy walking distance of the stadium. Enfield’s stations and transport links can help visitors plan connections to the ground.
