How to Get to Emirates Stadium for Matches and Gigs
Heading to Emirates Stadium for an Arsenal match or a cracking concert? The North London hotspot is easy to reach if you know how. From underground trains to buses and parking rules, here’s your no-nonsense guide to getting there hassle-free.
Fastest Route: Tube and Train
The London Underground is your best bet for quick travel to the stadium. Three stations are your top options:
- Arsenal Station (Piccadilly Line) – a mere 3-minute walk from the stadium gates.
- Finsbury Park – served by Victoria, Piccadilly & Great Northern rail lines; around a 10-minute stroll.
- Highbury & Islington – accessible via Victoria Line, North London Line and Great Northern trains, about 10 minutes on foot.
These stations link well with locations across London and beyond, making your journey smooth and speedy.
Bus Routes: Quick and Convenient
If trains aren’t your scene, buses circle the stadium from all sides. Key stops include:
- Holloway Road
- Nag’s Head
- Seven Sisters Road
- Blackstock Road
- Highbury Corner
Check TfL’s website or the TfL Go app for live bus updates and route info.
Forget Driving – Parking Is a Nightmare
Driving to Emirates Stadium? Think again. The venue sits in a residential area with an Event Day Parking Scheme that bans all non-resident vehicles. Only cars with a resident’s permit can park nearby during matches and concerts.
If driving is unavoidable, park further out and hop on public transport or use park-and-ride options to avoid hefty fines and long waits.
Plan Ahead to Dodge Delays
Match days and gigs can get busy, so plan your route before you travel. Be ready for crowds and delays. Arriving early means you’ll soak in the atmosphere stress-free, without battling last-minute travel chaos.
