Anfield Transfers – Fixed Price Quote, Book Online 24/7
Liverpool have expanded Anfield twice in a decade, taking it past sixty thousand. The Victorian terraces of Walton and Anfield around it are exactly as they were. That mismatch between a very large stadium and a very small street plan is the entire matchday.
Capacity after the Main Stand and Anfield Road expansions. Sixty-one thousand people emptying into terraced streets built for a fraction of that number is the most concentrated crowd movement of any ground we cover.
A modern stadium in a Victorian street plan
Anfield's expansions went upwards because there was nowhere to go outwards.
On every side
Walton Breck Road, Anfield Road and the residential grid. None of it has changed since the ground was built.
Upwards, not outwards
Two stands rebuilt taller because there was no land. More people, same streets.
The open ground
Between Anfield and Goodison. It is where the space is and where the coaches go.
Less than a mile away
Everton's old ground sits across the park. Two grounds within a mile is unique in England.
Kent to Merseyside
Times include the rest breaks a journey of this length legally requires.

Leaving Anfield
The most concentrated exit of any ground on our list, and the plan reflects it.
| Feature | What it means |
|---|---|
| Sixty-one thousand into terraced streets | The densest crowd movement we deal with anywhere. |
| Stanley Park | Where the coaches go, and where the space is. |
| Walton Breck Road | Closed and managed. No vehicle waits there. |
| Queens Drive and the ring road | Further out, and where the roads move. |
| Allow twenty to thirty minutes | Between the whistle and reaching a vehicle. It is a real walk. |
An Anfield away day
Expect a proper walk out
Twenty to thirty minutes from the whistle to the vehicle is realistic here, and it is longer than most grounds because the streets simply cannot take the crowd any faster. There is no trick that avoids it. What we can do is hold on Queens Drive or the ring road where traffic is moving, so that once you are in the vehicle you are actually going somewhere.
Stanley Park is the coach answer
For supporters' coaches, Stanley Park between the two grounds is where the space is and where coach parking is arranged. That is a longer walk than a car collection but it is the only realistic option for a vehicle that size, and it is well marshalled. Give us notice for coach bookings so the arrangement can be made properly.
Two grounds within a mile
Goodison Park sits across Stanley Park from Anfield, and Everton have moved to a new stadium on the waterfront. On a day when fixtures coincide the area handles two football crowds at once, which is a situation with no parallel elsewhere in England. We check both when you give us the date.
Make it a weekend if you can
Two hundred and fifty-five miles each way is eleven hours of travel around a ninety-minute match. Liverpool is a genuinely good city and a night there costs less than most people expect. For an evening kick-off it stops being optional.
Anfield from London, the airports and cities, 20 to 200 miles
Fixed fares both ways with the return on the same page: all routes to Anfield.
Anfield questions
The walk out, and the distance.
How long does it take to get away from Anfield?
Twenty to thirty minutes from the whistle to a vehicle. Sixty-one thousand people leaving into Victorian terraced streets is the densest crowd movement of any ground we cover, and no arrangement avoids the walk.
Where do you collect?
On Queens Drive or the ring road where traffic is moving. Waiting closer means waiting in a queue that is not going anywhere.
Where do supporters' coaches park?
Stanley Park, between Anfield and Goodison, where coach parking is arranged. It is a longer walk but the only realistic option for a vehicle that size. Give us notice so it can be arranged properly.
How far is Liverpool from Kent?
Around two hundred and forty-five to two hundred and ninety miles, four and a half to six and a half hours each way including required rest breaks.
Should we stay over?
For an evening kick-off, yes. For a Saturday afternoon it works as a day return, though eleven hours of travel around a ninety-minute match is a lot.
Is Goodison Park nearby?
Less than a mile away across Stanley Park, though Everton have moved to a new stadium on the waterfront. Two grounds that close is unique in England.
Can you take a full coach?
Yes, up to forty-nine seats. At this distance a coach is considerably better than a minibus, and Stanley Park has the provision for it.
Is the fare fixed?
Yes, agreed before travel and unaffected by motorway delays or a slow walk out.
