All teams to meet at the Edinburgh Gate on the south side of Hyde Park (just over the road from the Knightsbridge tube station) at 11.30am, and will then look to try to mark the pitch out in the same place as where Bournemouth played Brighton in a pre-season game (over the other side of the Serpentine - where the K is on Park). If you're driving, there is an underground carpark in Hyde Park (on the east side of the park), but there is parking in the side streets on Sundays (you don't need permits) and there are quite a few car parks around.
