Six Nations 2027 at Twickenham: Your Matchday Travel Guide

Few days in the sporting calendar feel like a Six Nations matchday at Twickenham. 82,000 fans. Pints before kick-off. A roar that carries across south west London. It is one of the great occasions in world rugby.

But every fan knows the catch. Getting there is busy. Getting home is busier. Roads close, trains fill and ride-hailing apps struggle the moment the final whistle blows. How you travel can make or break the day.

This guide covers England’s 2027 home fixtures, the main ways to get to Allianz Stadium from London, and how a chauffeur driven car from OUNO turns the journey into part of the occasion.

Six Nations 2027 at Twickenham: Fixtures & Kick-Off Times

England play three home matches at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham (formerly Twickenham Stadium) in the 2027 Guinness Men’s Six Nations:

  • Sunday 14th February – England v France, 3.10pm. Le Crunch, on Valentine’s Day.
  • Saturday 20th February – England v Italy, 4.40pm. A chance to settle a score.
  • Saturday 13th March – England v Scotland, 4.40pm. The Calcutta Cup, on Super Saturday.

England open their campaign away to Ireland in Dublin on Friday 5th February.

Kick-off times can change, so always check before you travel. Demand for transport peaks sharply before kick-off and again straight after the final whistle. Planning ahead is essential.


Why Getting to Twickenham Is Tricky on Matchday

Allianz Stadium is the largest dedicated rugby stadium in the world. When it is full, the surrounding streets simply are not built for the crowd.

The main challenges are:

  • Road closures around the stadium, including Rugby Road, Whitton Road and parts of London Road
  • Closures that start around two hours before kick-off and last two to three hours after the match
  • A controlled parking zone of roughly a mile around the stadium, with fines and towing enforced
  • Geo-fencing that limits where ride-hailing apps can drop off and pick up
  • Long queues at Twickenham station after the final whistle

The final mile is where most matchdays go wrong. Plan it properly and the rest takes care of itself.


The Main Ways to Get to Twickenham from London

Most fans travel one of five ways. Each works. Each has its limits.

Train from London to Twickenham

Trains run from London Waterloo and Clapham Junction to Twickenham, with a 10-minute walk to the stadium.

Things to consider:

  • Matchday trains are packed, especially in the hour before kick-off
  • Standing is common
  • Post-match queues at Twickenham station can be long
  • February and March weather makes every queue colder

Many fans walk around 45 minutes to Richmond station after the match just to avoid the queues.

Shuttle Bus

On major matchdays, shuttle buses run between the stadium and Richmond and Hounslow East stations. Pre-match journeys cost £5 per person. Post-match journeys are free.

A useful option. But you still need to get to Richmond or Hounslow first, and the queues build fast after the match.

Driving Yourself

Driving gives you control until you reach Twickenham. Then the road closures take over.

  • Matchday parking must be pre-booked
  • The controlled parking zone means fines and towing for anyone who gambles
  • The ULEZ covers the TW2 area around the stadium
  • Leaving the car park after the match can take hours

After a long day of rugby, driving home is rarely the relaxing option it sounds like.

Ride Hailing and Taxis

Ride-hailing apps are geo-fenced around the stadium on matchdays. The closest drop-off and pick-up point is Twickenham Stoop (TW2 7SX), opposite the stadium.

The problem is everyone else is heading there too. Surge pricing climbs after the final whistle. Cancellations follow. It is Uber roulette, with 82,000 people at the same table.

Chauffeur from London to Twickenham

More fans now choose door-to-door chauffeur travel for the Six Nations, especially groups, hospitality guests and anyone travelling with family.

A chauffeur allows you to:

  • Leave from home, hotel or office on your schedule
  • Avoid parking, road closures and the controlled parking zone
  • Be dropped at the designated private hire point, a short walk from the stadium
  • Skip the station queues after the final whistle
  • Travel home warm, comfortable and on time
Transport option Pros Cons Best for
Train Frequent services, close to the stadium Packed trains, long post-match queues Solo fans and small groups
Shuttle bus Cheap, free after the match Still need to reach Richmond or Hounslow Fans already in south west London
Driving Flexible on the way there Pre-booked parking, closures, slow exit Fans travelling from outside London
Ride hailing Quick to book Geo-fencing, surge pricing, cancellations Flexible fans willing to gamble
Chauffeur Fixed fares, no cancellations, door to door Best pre-booked Groups, families, hospitality guests

Why a Chauffeur Is the Easiest Way to Do Twickenham

Matchdays are long. Early drinks. A tense eighty minutes. A crowd of 82,000 all leaving at once.

A chauffeur removes the pressure points:

  • No crowded trains
  • No parking fees or fines
  • No refreshing an app as prices climb
  • No standing in the cold at the station
  • A warm, quiet car waiting when you are ready

You focus on the rugby. Your chauffeur handles the rest.

  3. See your price upfront. Fixed fares, shown clearly in the app. No surge and no hidden fees, even on matchday.

What Time to Leave London for Twickenham

The 2027 kick-offs are mid to late afternoon, at 3.10pm and 4.40pm. Road closures begin around two hours before kick-off, so most experienced fans aim to arrive well before then.

Leaving too late often means:

  • Sitting in traffic on the A316
  • Missing the pre-match atmosphere or hospitality
  • A rushed walk to your seat

A chauffeur plans the timing, the route and the buffers, so you arrive relaxed, not rushed.
