The facilities are modest but well-maintained, with the usual selection of pies and hot drinks to keep you going through a chilly afternoon. Whether you're a dedicated groundhopper ticking off another venue or simply fancy experiencing football as the locals do, this Greater London ground delivers an honest, no-frills day out that reminds you why the beautiful game resonates at every level.
