Twickenham Stadium is hosting matches throughout August ahead of the Rugby World Cup in France.

The matches are:

  • South Africa v New Zealand - Friday 25th August (kick off 7:30 pm)
  • England v Fiji - Saturday 26 August (kick off 3.15pm)

Whitton Road, Rugby Road and London Road will all close two hours prior to kick off.

They will reopen during the match and then close again 90 minutes after kick off.

This closure is estimated to be around 2.5 hours whilst trains and buses are loaded.

As well as this, there will be a Controlled Parking Zone in operation from 11am to 11pm on matchdays.

You can also text the matchday helpline on 07894 814180 or call if you have a landline.
