Continue straight on for 0.5 miles and at roundabout at bottom of hill turn right into Barrack Road. Stadium is on the left.

Public Transport
Railway: Newcastle is on the East Coast Main Line route, served by GNR and Virgin railways (Newcastle Central Station, Tel: 08457 225333 or 0191 277 8000). St. James' Park is only a short ½ mile walk from the Central Station. Upon arriving at Newcastle, turn left when you walk out of the station onto Neville Street and head towards the Centre for Life building which you will see on the left side of the road. Walk past the Centre for Life, across one set of traffic lights and at the next set of lights, almost immediately afterwards, turn right into St James' Boulevard. You will be able to see St. James' Park ahead of you at the top of St. James' Boulevard.

Metro
Newcastle also has its own Metro rail system which is underground within the City Centre. The stadium is served by its own Metro station adjacent to the ground (St James Metro) with the other City Centre stations (Haymarket, Monument and Central Station) all a very short walk from St. James' Park.

Bus Routes
Gallowgate or Haymarket bus stations (0191 232 4211).

Air
Newcastle International Airport is situated six miles to the north of the city (Tel: 0191 286 0966). Travel to St. James' Park may either be by bus, taxi or by the Metro Train link which takes just under 25 minutes.

AROUND THE GROUND

Local things of interest: The MetroCentre shopping mall across the Tyne in Gateshead is simply massive. Check it out if you have a couple of days spare. Newcastle's own shopping mall can be found in Eldon Square.

Pubs
Between St James' Park and the train station you will find the Bigg market area, where the young folk hang out. If you want a pre or post match drink in a slightly more subtle atmosphere, then try the more traditional Haymarket area or the redeveloped Quayside part of town, to the south of Bigg market, which is a little more refined, if a touch expensive. A family option is the Bridge Hotel, at the north end of the High Level Bridge. If you don't fancy trawling around the many crowded bars and pubs that Newcastle has to offer then you can get a drink at the ground. (Note: away supporters are generally expected to hide colours).

Local Eateries
Just a goal-kick from St. James' Park you'll find the Stowell Street area which is better known as China Town, and is packed with Chinese Restaurants. Food from all four corners of the world is served at the numerous pavement café bars and restaurants which seem to be springing up all over the city.
