Matchday review: England v Australia at Twickenham

Amenities, refreshments, and accessibility

Twickenham offers a genuinely safe, family-friendly environment suitable for all generations. There is an abundance of food and drink outlets catering for fast food tastes, at a price! Bars and even self-serve drink machines serve to quench the thirst. While dedicated areas for disabled visitors exist, I'm not sure how you get one of these places but well worth investigating if you're in need. We got confused by our seat allocation number which was preceded by the letter 'M'. We quickly spotted  signs to L38, then L36, L34 and so on. So we were going in the right direction. It will eventually change from L1 to M sometime we thought. Arriving at L8 we were confronted with a brick wall blocking us going any further. Panic as the National Anthems played and we were lost. Retreat was our only option. Hurrying along someone finally cracked the puzzle. L stood for Lower and M for Middle or something like that. None of the attendants we asked offered us this solution. Do they know? We're from Devon you know and need help in the big city!! Up the desolate stairs we raced, everyone else was sat down, until it appeared that Mannie had scored. We finally arrived at the end of our row. We were, of course, right in the middle so had to apologetically nudge our way through to our seats. We had a great view of the action at both ends and looking around I assume everyone else had uninterrupted views too. Not sure I would like the lower level. Yes it's close to the pitch but I like to see the play and options unfold. I believe that is achieved better from at least a slightly elevated position.
