| Harlington Imperial College Ground | Harlington Sports Ground, Sipson Lane, Harlington Middlesex UB3 5AQ Their website is here . There is ample parking, however the ground is not convenient for public transport (except a bus of course).

| Wadham College | The ground is immediately behind (i.e. to the North of) Cherwell School, and is accessed by a lane passing to the left of the school as you look at it. Look to the right and you'll see the River Cherwell. The Victoria Arms is on its banks, just north of where the B4495 crosses it. Sat Nav - the post code is OX2 7EE | Map here: |
