The London Stadium in Stratford hosts West Ham matches, major concerts and athletics — and for Kent-based fans, getting home after an event means a journey across to the south-east, often late, with the crowds and last-train risk that entails. This guide covers the journey home from the London Stadium to Kent, and why a pre-booked transfer beats the scramble.
The London Stadium sits in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, East London (E20). Kent lies to the south-east, so while it's closer than some London venues, the journey home still means battling the post-event crowds at Stratford — one of London's busiest interchanges — then a train or connections down into Kent, potentially chasing a last service after an evening event. A direct transfer removes the crowds and the connection risk.
Stratford station is huge but heaves after an event, with thousands funnelling through at once.
Getting to Kent usually means changes onto Kent-bound services — each a delay risk.
Evening events risk leaving you racing for the last train home to Kent.
After a long event, a multi-stage journey home is the last thing you want.

The London Stadium's home in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park gives it superb transport infrastructure by design, since the park was built for the 2012 Games with the movement of huge crowds firmly in mind, and on paper this makes it one of the better-connected major venues in London. In practice, however, that infrastructure is tested to its limits when a full house empties after a West Ham match, a concert or an athletics meeting, with Stratford's stations, for all their capacity, becoming intensely crowded as tens of thousands converge at once. For Kent-based supporters the challenge is compounded by geography, as even once through the Stratford crush there remains the task of crossing to the south-eastern side of London and out into the county, a journey that grows considerably more fraught if an evening event leaves you racing against the last train. A pre-booked transfer neatly sidesteps both problems, collecting you from an agreed point away from the worst of the crowds and carrying you directly home to Kent in one continuous journey, which for a group travelling together in an eight-seater is not only far more comfortable but often works out very reasonably per person when set against multiple rail fares and the stress of the connections involved.
