re: Headed to England in two weeks for 3 matches

Took my son over Christmas break to both Vicarage Road and Selhurst among others. Really enjoyed walking from the Watford Main Street area after an early dinner to the game and back. Tons of fans and a fun atmosphere around the grounds and on the walk over and back (was a Friday night game).

Selhurst was rainy and we were pretty early for the hospitality offerings but didn’t seem as much going on near the grounds. There’s a grocery store literally up against the stadium and that seemed where most were grabbing food or drinks before hand when we were walking in. Basically all that to say, maybe find a pub closer to the train station if you’re looking for one. Really enjoyed the atmosphere in the stadium though.
