VICTORY PARADE ANNOUNCED
Posted on: Mon 10 May 2010
Following our success in winning the Barclays Premier League and with agreement from London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham, Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea and the Metropolitan Police, we can confirm that a victory parade will be held on Sunday 16 May, commencing a 1.00pm.
The Route
Two open-topped buses with the players and support staff will leave Stamford Bridge west entrance, and travel east along Fulham Road before turning right onto Hortensia Road, right again onto King's Road and then on to New King's Road.
At Eel Brook Common the buses will stop for a brief period before continuing to Parsons Green where it will end. The parade will start at 1.00pm and, including a 10-minute stop at Eel Brook Common, will finish around 2.00pm.
The route will be fully barriered and stewarded with pedestrian crossing points in operation to allow movement of people around the route.

Eel Brook Common
A big screen and PA system will be placed on the Common to show the live broadcast of the parade between 12.45pm and the end of the parade. In addition, toilets and first aid facilities will be provided.
Road closures and restrictions
The only roads completely closed to traffic will be those required for the parade route:
• Fulham Road from Britannia Road to Hortensia Road
• Hortensia Road from Fulham Road to Kings Road
• Kings Road from Gunter Grove to Waterford Road
• New Kings Road from Waterford Road to Parsons Green
In addition, there will be a significant number of restrictions and diversions to stop through traffic.

All roads adjacent to the route will be restricted and stewarded. The stewards will facilitate the departure and return of residents on foot and in vehicles. The restrictions will also reduce fans entering the area trying to park.
Vehicles will not be able to cross the parade route. It is recommended to travel away from the parade route to the diversion route (see map) and then use the diversion route to circulate. If you are returning to the area it would be helpful to the stewards if you carry something with your address to speed up the identification of residents from visitors.
Parking restrictions
Only the roads on the parade route will have parking restrictions in place where vehicles will be relocated by parking enforcement teams from London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham and Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea.
The resident parking bays in Hortensia Road will be restricted from early morning on the parade day.
Emergency Services
Significant planning has taken place with the local authorities and emergency services to ensure all services from official local authority vehicles and doctors to those responding to emergency calls can meet their obligations.
Cleaning up
Following the parade, a full clean up of the parade route and Eel Brook Common will be carried out to return the area to normal as quickly as possible.
Timings
While the parade itself will only last an hour, the preparation and clearing up will take significantly longer. The first road closures and restrictions will be implemented from 6.30am to allow the barriers to be deployed. All road closures and restrictions will be in place by 8.00am.
It is expected that the crowd will start to gather from 10.00am with the parade at 1.00pm.
Following the parade, street cleaning and barrier removal teams will start as soon as crowd conditions allow. Once the barriers have been removed, a phased reopening of the roads will be considered by the event organisers, the local authorities and the Police assuming it is safe to do so. It is estimated all restrictions will be lifted by 5.00pm.
Chelsea TV
The parade will be shown live on Chelsea TV between 12:30- 2:30 with all the big interviews from the bus and on route.
