Twickenham Stadium, known affectionately as "the home of rugby" and currently labelled Allianz Stadium Twickenham under a sponsorship deal, opened its doors in 1909 and has since become one of the most iconic sporting venues in the world. Located in southwest London, the stadium is the largest dedicated rugby union venue and the second-largest stadium in the United Kingdom, following Wembley Stadium

While rugby is the heart of Twickenham’s identity, the stadium is much more than a sports venue. It plays host to a range of events, from international rugby tournaments, such as the Six Nations and Rugby World Cup, to annual showdowns like the Varsity Match between Oxford and Cambridge universities. Twickenham’s versatile space also accommodates a lineup of high-profile concerts, with global music stars like Beyoncé, The Rolling Stones, and U2 having taken the stage in recent years. The stadium’s reputation for world-class events and unbeatable atmosphere makes it a major attraction not only for rugby fans but for music enthusiasts as well.

Beyond its events, Twickenham Stadium also boasts a unique visitor experience, including tours of the stadium and access to the World Rugby Museum, which offers fans a deep dive into the history of the sport. With such a wide appeal and frequent events, finding a reliable parking solution near Twickenham Stadium is essential. Planning ahead can make all the difference, especially on event days when the influx of visitors means parking spots are in high demand.

Rent a private parking space near the stadium

Local residents near Twickenham often rent out their driveways and parking spaces at a fraction of the cost of official stadium parking, acting as a win-win for the local community. You save money by booking alternative parking options while local residents make a healthy side income from their earnings. Reserving a space only takes a few minutes online or via the JustPark app: simply enter where you’re going, filter for any additional requirements such as vehicle size or accessibility, select your perfect space then pay.

With rates starting as low as £2 per hour, it’s often cheaper and more convenient to rent a private space that’s only a short walk from the venue. This can also help you to avoid crowded car parks or unsecured pop-up parking schemes on matchdays, making your visit to Twickenham as easy as possible. Plus, if you have any delays or you’re getting caught up in crowds leaving the venue, you can extend your booking through the app to avoid any parking fines.

Using the JustPark app or website, you can search, find and reserve a space which should tick most of your boxes when looking for parking:
