bcfcshorey Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Public Transport is definitely the way to go... heres a website on car parks http://www.tfl.gov.uk/roadusers/tubestationcarparks/ Wembley Park is on the jubilee and metropolitan lines.

North London Red Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Parking in Uxbridge is an option worth considering - it's only a couple of miles from the M4, and is at the end of the Metropolitan line (same line as Wembley Park). Also, after the game you'll be heading in a different direction to the majority of people on the tube, and you'll be back on the M4 fairly quickly.

cider-manc Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 I would recommend parking away from the stadium and getting the tube in. Although there is plenty of places to park near the stadium the one way system can mean you end up sat on the car park for 3 hours at full time.

I used Uxbridge last time I went to Wembley, The tube is next to a shopping centre so plenty of restaurants near by if you want value for money food, Instead of the Wembley crap, Also it's only a couple of stops to Wembley, And makes for a quick getaway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, that was the Old Wembley, so I expect the food has improved now. Just like it has at the gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS34Red Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Remortgage your house to pay for the overpriced under cooked tasteless food and water downed beer. Like others have said don't attempt to drive to Wembley, park up and get the tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome To The Jungle Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Eat before you get to the ground, but piling out of Wembley Park station being greeted by Wembley with tens of thousands moving up Wembley Way is a great sight.

City fan 1982 Posted October 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 cheers all , I will eat before I get there, and catch the tube in , as im front row in the top tier I wonder if I can drape my huge city flag over the edge !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Anywhere along the tube line west of Wembley - Uxbridge, Ickenham, Rayners Lane etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1stCityExile Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Rayners Lane is a better bet than Uxbridge. I live in Harrow and know this area well. You can park in the car park at Rayners Lane Tube, or in a nearby side street, and then get the Met line which is just 5 stops to Wembley. Enjoy the match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bcfc2009 Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 I always park on one of the residential driveways nearby (book it through parkatmyhouse.com) - if you park on one of the roads to the south of the stadium, off of the Harrow Road you can get a driveway for around £15 with only a 5-10 minute walk. As it is the other side to where the car parks are I have never experienced any traffic when leaving but give yourself plenty of time to get there as it is usually pretty congested on the North Circular as you get nearer to the stadium. Plenty of places to get something to eat walking up to the stadium without having to pay stadium prices. If parking elsewhere and getting the tube in, bear in mind that the queues for the tube after the game are horrendous - not so bad if on your own but wouldn't put my young son through that again! We go to most games and usually bump in to fellow city sometime during the evening. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fodbarmyarmy Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 Park at West Ruislip (off M25) loads of roadside parking by train station ... then cheap train journey (2 stops) to Wembers..Coming out the largest queues will be for trains heading into Central London...the shortest for trains heading Wycombe way...2 stops and you are back in the car....back on M25 usually within 20/25 mins of game ending...even quicker if you are of the ilk to leave 5 mins early...

chalky Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 Anyone planning to go against Poland? Surely that would be the better one to go to (although inconvenient possibly as it's on a tuesday...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We go to most games and usually bump in to fellow city sometime during the evening. Enjoy! Same here. I parked 5 minutes from the ground on someones drive, handed over £10 and parked up. On to the circular road, joined the motorway by Brentford and home 2 hours after the final whistle. As for food places, plenty of curry houses, fish and chip shops around that serve plenty of decent food but I agree...DON'T eat in the ground.

North London Red Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 Three tips to avoid the queues on Wembley Way (which haven't been too bad for recent England games, even if you stay until the final whistle, as loads of people will start leaving from 70 minutes onwards so there won't be as many people in the queue as you'd otherwise think): 1) Don't use Wembley Way. Walk along Empire Way instead and use the side entrance to Wembley Park tube station - much, much quicker 2) If using Rayners Lane or Uxbridge, you could consider walking back to Preston Road station instead of Wembley Park. Preston Road is the next stop up on the norhbound Metropolitan Line and is about a 15-20 minute walk from the stadium 3) Get a bus from Wembley High Street to any of the other nearby tube stations (Alperton or Sudbury on the Piccadilly Line, Hanger Lane on the Central Line, or Stonebridge Park on the Bakerloo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
