Travelling to Wembley on Sunday

stockportugaladdick

I'm driving our four down now from oop north and have booked the red car park for £30. Wanted to do the train but for the four of us it was £90 each just to get to Euston.

Appreciate the advice about heading into Wembley Park tube from the north on the Met line, gonna likely park at Hillingdon. Same wait to get into the station after but hopefully less crowds going north.

There's usually street parking near Stanmore too

Going to the 7s at Twickenham on Saturday, semi tempted to get a hotel near(ish) Wembley for the Saturday night - this bank holiday weekend if going to destroy my bank balance!

Same here taking my lad and his 3 mates to the 7's, just me and him at Wembley, gonna be a busy weekend.

Ha, brilliant, will keep an eye out. Don't get too drunk though you might end up at Wembley in that.

Is there anywhere decent for food near the stadium or is it all overpriced parp?

If you want to eat inside the stadium and are gluten-free then take your own as Wembley specifically state they do not offer GF meals, which for a national stadium catering for 90k people is disgraceful.

Apparently there's a box park for Charlton fans.

'I'd check that out first. Parking is well controlled around Stanmore on match days on the local roads. 

Much safer to stick to Met Line stations on the Uxbridge branch of the Met Line past Wembley Park.

What are peoples experiences of getting away after a big event at Wembley?
How long to get on a tube? 
Is one station better than another for getting away reasonably quickly?

All depends how far you're prepared to walk after the game.
I'm too impatient to get in the queue at Wembley Park so tend to walk to North Wembley (Bakerloo) now or Preston Road (Metropolitan). Can both be done in about 25 minutes but that's at a decent rate of knots.

If you're out quickly enough, Wembley Stadium station to Marylebone is probably the best option, or Wembley Central for the Bakerloo tube or mainline.

The thing about the play off final, is that half the stadium goes pretty quickly after the game, and the winning team will still be there for 20 minutes or so, so its different from England games where it takes ages, as everyone leaves at the same time.

Not everyone will be heading straight into town either, especially with an afternoon game.

For those talking about trains from afar if you travel with someone else a couple of times a year you really should get the two together railcard.
Probably no good now for this weekend but you've only got to do a £90 fare each and that becomes £60
Cost of card £30

Driving from Lewisham to Hornchurch about 9am. Tube from there to Wembley. Tube back to Hornchurch after the game, then drive to a hotel somewhere in the sticks near Brentwood.

Why oh why do people not check the date of the League 1 play-off final before arranging their weddings?! Ridiculous.

I have booked one of the over priced car parking spaces at Wembley, worth the cost for the peace of mind and I don't fancy risking the long train journey.

Fingers crossed for tomorrow that I manage to get tickets for the actual game. 

Mate has paid 65 quid for parking his Sunderland we will be on the tube.

Best and quickest way to Wembley on Sunday. Marylebone ststion to Wembley stadium ststion, nine minutes and some decent pubs in local area.

Blimey that’s keen - even with heavy traffic you will be 6 days early

Train from York at 08:56 into Kings Cross just after 11 then trying to find my cohorts in Finchley Road. Can anyone tell me how long that usually takes? The tube bit that is.

Exactly my weekend mate

Having looked into travel... Will probably go from Strood to London Bridge in the morning, jump on the Jubilee Line and head straight to Wembley Park (Arriving around 11:30)

Grab some lunch in that London Designed Outlet place where there are a couple of places (depending on how busy it is if others have the same idea of arriving so early) - Once done will walk up to the Green Man most like for a few beverages before returning to Wembley about 2:30

Want to make sure Im ready to go and in my seat well before the players come out of the tunnel
