Harrow to Twickenham by car, sneaking through the back streets of Southall, marvelling at the facilities Grasshoppers have as we pass their new ground on the way.

I thought the boy and me were the only ones coming over from Essex but I saw a Quins fan still on the train when we got off at Chadwell Heath.
Chadwell Heath > Stratford > Waterloo > Twickenham
Can be 1.5-2hrs. Felt like 6 hrs yesterday soaking wet! ;D
Wasn't me but I come in from Essex too.
Gants Hill -> Bank -> Waterloo etc about 1 1/2 hours if I get a quick train from Waterloo.

 Usually train from Winchfield to Surbiton then 281 bus to Twickenham Green to get to the Sussex for a few pre match beers. Originally from Heston but moved to Odiham in North Hants last year. Trains have been shite so far this season so sadly been driving via M3. Quite a few Quins fans in Odiham/Fleet/Basingstoke areas.

I’ve had two extremes:
Worked in West Oxfordshire for a while so had to leave work promptly at 5 for evening kick offs and would often be running in my suit  from the car for 7.45 kick off. Then moved to Twickenham and had a 10 min walk!

Currently it’s a 30 min drive from Wimbledon

I used to be in Borough, 10 minute walk to Waterloo, 20 minutes on the train and 10 minutes (or more via the pub) Twickenham end. It was a lot easier than the hour and a bit (more sometimes) driving.

Only 9h15m, Bolly? Paah! That's nowt! My longest trip to the Stoop was in April 2015 and went as follows:

Taipei to Hong Kong Airport (3hrs +40mins transfer)
Hong Kong to Heathrow (14 hrs)
Taxi to Wantage to drop off the bags (1hr) (Work only allowed taxis to be booked between airports, offices & home locations)
Straight back out for the Usual 2h15 mins *back* by train to Twickenham for the game.

Not something I care to do again, though!

Ah - you went home to drop off bags...

Disqualified!

I used to live by the Blucher so would drink in there and the Sussex and then walk down the back streets to the Stoop.
Moved to Molesey now so is an R68 bus and a walk to the ground

Walk to Streatham Common station -15 minutes
Train Streatham Common to Clapham Junction -12 minutes
Train Clapham Junction to Twickenham -12 minutes
Walk to Stoop - 10 minutes

Should be an hour at most but we do have to contend with Southern and South Western Railway, as well as constant works on the track  between Clapham and Twickenham

Three options for me:

1) Drive, usually takes about an hour from memory.
2) Walk to Twyford station, train to Reading, train to Twickenham, walk to stadium. I think about an hour and a half, again from memory.
3) Drive to Windsor, train to Twickenham. About 90 minutes total.

Return journey is usually worse as trains are overloaded or late, and car park is jammed.
