I went down to a gig near Southampton last night (awesome modern proggers Big Big Train, warmup show for their tour that starts properly tonight).
I left Ipswich yesterday at 2pm, and arrived in Eastleigh (a few miles short of Southampton) at around 6.15pm. Yuk. There are longterm roadworks on the M25 in both directions, and also for 10-15 miles on the M3 from the M25. (For once, the A12 was flowing well).
Coming back this morning, I left at 8am, and finally got home around 1pm.
Allow plenty of time Saturday, especially as you'll likely be parking some distance from the ground. (The away end has moved btw, to the opposite side of the stadium from last year) |  | | |  |

On recent trips to Southampton, from Ipswich, actual arrival time has been up to an hour later than first suggested by SatNav. |  |

We are driving to Epping station. From there 55 mins to Waterloo and then just over an hour to Southampton. From there 20 min walk or 8 minute taxi.
Lot of other options to if happy to do part train part car. | | | |

The cruise ship traffic causes issues but looks like only 3 departing this Saturday rather than the usual 5. | | | |

Note that this weekend is the final weekend of this year's Southampton Boat Show which always brings in additional traffic and parking issues. | | | |

M25 down this way absolutely sucks at the moment |  |

True, but Iona and Virtuosa both biggies so don't underestimate | |

I'd go over the bridge, along the bottom of the M25 and then A3/M27
M25 across the top and past Heathrow is always a lottery | | | |

Having been on both I can confirm they are huge... especially Virtuosa |  | | |
