AFC Wimbledon: Club Profile
From the fallout of the ‘other’ Dons’ move to MK, the recent rise of AFC Wimbledon offers a tale of romance for many football fans. MK Dons‘ relegation to League Two in 2018 was a huge waypoint in that journey; the point at which the balance shifted. And now the ‘new’ Dons are back in their spirtual home at Plough Lane with their new 9,300 capacity ground in the London Borough of Merton. It’s been a long journey home.
The new stadium is due to open in late 2020, so they’ll still be in Kingston at the start of the 2020-1 campaign.

Pre-Match Pints
We’re told that away supporters are allowed into the two large bars under the main Paul Strank Stand. But there’s a chance they could be reserved for home fans only if we’re a sufficiently ”big” draw. That’s unlikely these days, however. Otherwise, you can find the Duke of Wellington and the Prince of Wales on the Kingston Road. You might also be tempted to venture to nearby Kingston, New Malden or Teddington.
AFC Wimbledon Travel Information – Distance: 65 miles
By Road
As you can imagine with any ground located within the confines of the M25, it will be an absolute joy to drive down to south London. However, it isn’t as bad as you would think as you are heading for Kingston-upon-Thames as opposed to Wimbledon; it’ll still require a trip around the M25 but you won’t need to penetrate London as much.
Exit the M25 at Junction 10 (yes, that means negotiating Heathrow) and follow the A3 northbound towards central London. Exit the A3 at the junction for New Malden and Worcester Park, bearing onto A2043 Maldon Road towards Kingston-upon-Thames. At the next roundabout, take the first exit to remain on the A2043 and this will ultimately lead you to Kingsmeadow.

Parking
If you turn left just after the ground into Boundary Lane, it will lead to a car park bordering a small recreation ground. Check the terms before you park up, or alternatively seek street parking by turning right off the A2043 at the ground.
By Rail
Station: NORBITON
Services to: LONDON WATERLOO
Leave the station via the rear exit upon arrival (that’s the platform serving Kingston-bound services), and turn left down Norbiton Avenue. Turn right into Gloucester Road and continue walking down to Kingston Road. Turn left here, and Kingsmeadow should appear on the right. The walk is less than a mile and do-able in about 20 minutes.
