    English people often just say 'Twickenham' or the joking short form 'Twickers' to mean a match there, the way you might say a stadium's name to mean the game — 'we're going to Twickenham on Saturday' means going to watch rugby, not visiting a town. Twickenham is also the name of the ordinary London suburb the stadium sits in, so context tells you which one someone means.
