For people wishing to visit the offices of London Irish on non-match days, please note that these are in Sunbury. Click here for Sunbury directions. Madejski Stadium is located less than a mile from Junction 11 of the M4, and has more than 2,000 parking spaces. On football matchdays, parking facilities are also available at the nearby Compaq offices and Reading Speedway Stadium. Shuttle bus services from the town centre are also available to supporters. The A33 relief road gives a direct link from the motorway, but the roads in the area are very busy, and queuing can be expected exiting the M4 and then all the way to the Stadium. Car parking is extensive, but very popular and under extreme demand, so travelling by train to Reading Central and then by shuttle bus is recommended whenever possible.

From the M4:

The Madejski Stadium can be approached from the A33 Reading Relief Road which links to the M4 Motorway.

Exit the M4 at Junction 11, heading for Reading on the A33. At the first roundabout, take the 2nd left onto the Reading Relief Road, passing the Stadium on your left. At the next roundabout (past McDonalds) take the first left onto Northern Way and follow signs to car parks.

Please ensure you allow sufficient time for travel, as we are expecting heavy traffic around the Stadium.

There will be NO 'Pay on the Day' parking available at the Stadium for this match, only seasonal permit holders will be able to access the stadium car parks, so please do not attempt to drive up to the Madejski car parks unless you have a valid permit as you will be turned away.
