What’s The Den Like?
4,000 Swans fans are in the upper tier of the north stand behind the goal.
Whilst a trip to Millwall is not as bad as it once was, the Den can sometimes be quite intimidating, so be careful around the ground and keep club colours hidden.
Pies, cheese & onion pasties, sausage rolls, burgers and chips are sold, with Tetley’s Smooth, Carlsberg and Somersby cider the tipples on offer.

Eating and Drinking near the Den

The ‘George Inn’ (SE1 1NH) is an amazing building run by the National Trust and dates back to medieval times. It retains its wooden flooring and wall panelling and is the last remaining galleried inn in London. It has a decent menu and is 3 miles from the stadium and well worth a visit.

Trains to London
