If you reached Putney Bridge in just over an hour, you did a lot better than us!
The coach business on Boxing Day was created by the rail replacement buses for Putney Bridge all being stacked along the bus lane over the bridge.

Anyone want to guess what time were likely to park up and be in London? Setting off from Littlehampton on Seagulls travel bus at 2.45pm. Trying to arrange a meet up near by and not sure how much time were going to have.

A24/Chessington/A3/Chelsea not sure how many pick ups you are making, but hitting early London rush hour traffic will probably mean 3 hours on the coach so about 6pm. But there is no certainty in this, just my prediction

Whenever I've been to Stamford Bridge I've always gone via West Brompton. Plenty of trains to and from Clapham. Nice walk through the Cemetery.
Did the walk to Imperial Wharf as suggested by Barnham's Tash and it was fine. Easy route to walk, train turned up 5 minutes later. Got to Clapham Junction and a Bognor/Eastbourne train arrived 5 minutes later. Definitely doing that again if we go to Chelsea again.

Walked all the way back to South Kensington and made the 22:16 from Vic - well pleased

Also did Imperial Wharf walk. Got on first train back to Clapham. Easy peasy.

Imperial Wharf is one of those new fangled stations that didn't even exist when I used to travel in and around London regularly by train!

I'm half deaf but i'm sure they said during game for train travellers to head for Earls Court after the game as either no trains or severe delays on the underground
However was in the lower tier, left 5 minutes after final whistle and still got on a train promptly at Fulham Broadway maybe had to wait no more than 5-10 minutes there

They did say severe delays on the District Line in both directions.
However checked the TFL Service status app, which said problems to Richmond and Ealing Broadway, so no issues on Wimbledon stretch, I waited 2 minutes for a tube to Southfields.
Not the full picture from Chelsea
I think they said the District line had no trains however Earls Court has Circle and Piccadilly trains the platform was pretty empty (the tube website said district west bound distrupted only) and got to Victoria very fast through the Piccadilly+Victoria I took that route as I was delayed going to the ground on the District but the mistake for me was getting the Gatwick "Express" that doesnt stop at Clapham should have been good but wasnt this time
I stayed till the end too.
Yes thats exactly what I did checked TFL, poor from Chelsea. Also East bound was fine. People were looking for buses and taxis after leaving
